Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • I bought a pink pair at Best Buy 6 years ago and they lasted 4 years.
  • This headphone is a great buy, it has rich and deep sound and can be put up against most more expensive headphones.
  • I like how light it is, and the price make this a good buy.
  • These are not high priced Sony or Bose, they are what they are, and they are still a great buy, descent sound quality and a comfortable nimble fit
  • I had a pair that I bought at Best Buy, but I eventually sat on them and broke them

Reviews around money (4.73 of 5)

  • Not every pair is perfect, but overall, for the price, I will not waste my money on anything else
  • Very worth the money though despite these two minor complaints
  • Maybe we got part of a bad batch of these since we bought them all at once, but after three tries I'm not wasting any more money to test that possibility
  • Its an on-ear phone for the student/commuter that only wants to risk ear bud money
  • Although these are economical, don't waste your money on ordering.

Reviews around price (4.58 of 5)

  • While i really love the sound quality for the meager price, it still doesn't fit most around most peoples ears
  • They look cheap, they feel cheap and their price is cheap.
  • Don't be fooled by their cheap price tag (I've seen them on sale for under $10 a few times)
  • They are good quality and great sound with a great price and fast shipping
  • nice sound for a cheap price.. but it didnt last more than 3 months and its broken now

Reviews around product (4.51 of 5)

  • These work okay, but the product has cheapened since my old pair.
  • It's otherwise a great product, but I wish the company did better quality control on the fabric.
  • They are a good quality product, but I would have liked them to be a little snugger.
  • The first 2 times, I broke the product because of my own fault
  • Excellent quality product for the price, and very easy to use and store

Reviews around size (4.17 of 5)

  • but if I am listening to music or watching a movie and don't want to disturb my roommates I much prefer external headphones as buds can make your ears itch
  • The price is right, the quality is good, and the size is perfect.
  • They're also the perfect size for over the ear; not giant and
  • These headphones are much smaller on the ear than most, but the sound quality is fantastic and the small size makes them very portable.
  • Down to 3 stars from 4 stars after breaking!I share an office with three others and I often like to listen to music while I work

Reviews around bass (4.04 of 5)

  • The sound is also very well-balanced, without excessive bass or treble added.
  • While not muddy, the bass is clearly overblown relative to the mids and highs, which gives the overall sound a "recessed" character
  • They have a bright (emphasis on treble) sound signature with good quality bass that does not bleed into the mids
  • The sound quality is crisp with a good but not overpowering bass
  • These sound just OK when new, but gradually improve and after a couple months of use they sound very good, clear and balanced, with no exaggerated bass or treble.

Reviews around fit (3.95 of 5)

  • Down to 3 stars from 4 stars after breaking!I share an office with three others and I often like to listen to music while I work
  • Unlike the earlier version, this one has a much better and more comfortable fit if you have a smaller sized head
  • However, due to the loose fit and on-the-ear design, the bass is lacking.
  • Comfortable fit for me and sound quality is comparable to $50 headphones, IMO.
  • I bought three sets of these, thinking when they break I'll just toss them out

Reviews around headset (3.87 of 5)

  • This headset is very comfortable and produces terrific sound for the price.
  • I have to say these are the most comfortable headset I have ever owned
  • I would not recommend as it is not durable for intended use.
  • Much better sound than more expensive headsets I have used in the past
  • Trust me, you won't be disappointed if you're just looking for good sound and a comfortable headset.

Reviews around earpiece (2.60 of 5)

  • The bass doesn't sound as rich as on the expensive pair of headphones I no longer use, but it sounds much better than the cheap headphones I was using
  • Down to 3 stars from 4 stars after breaking!I share an office with three others and I often like to listen to music while I work
  • They would work much better in a low noise environment as, again they are not studio headphones
  • Wish they were not broken as they looked great, small not heavy or bulky and would have been comfortable to wear
  • Got broken after very short usage, may be a couple of weeks (one earpiece started to fall out of housing)

Reviews around ear (2.56 of 5)

  • These JVC headphones are not comfortable, sound is junk and they feel like they will slide off your ears.
  • I have a big head, and these hurt my ears after a while
  • They don't hurt my ears or the side of my head near my ears.
  • They have a very nice sound quality and don't hurt my ears when wearing for long periods of time.
  • Great for the price, I hate inner ear buds as they hurt my ears

Reviews around plastic (2.36 of 5)

  • As a workaround, I unscrewed the sides, replaced the broken plastic parts with wooden dowels (for rigidity) and then used electrical tape to secure the headphones in place.
  • (Hard plastic headrest, metal spine/band, soft padding over ears.)Comfort is wonderful.
  • A product is only as good as its weakest component, and in these, it's the tiny piece of soft plastic that holds the phones onto the adjustment sliders.
  • Headphones look good, but too much plastic, good sound quality,I use it to connect the phone to listen to music
  • I was going to add "for the price" but honestly, I think they sound nearly as good as my Bose QC 25, though they don't have noise cancelling, of course.

Reviews around bite (2.28 of 5)

  • Voices sound very natural, although male voices lack a bit of weight due to the lack of deep bass.
  • The ear cushion could be a bit better quality, but these are inexpensive headphones.
  • The sound is great and they block a good bit of outside noise
  • They pinch a little bit after a while, but they get a pretty good sound range, which is nice
  • They sound OK to me, but I find them a bit uncomfortable after a short while

Reviews around background noise (2.01 of 5)

  • Wish they were not broken as they looked great, small not heavy or bulky and would have been comfortable to wear
  • I work in a cube farm, so these cut down on background noise and conversations, but not so much that I can't hear when someone wants to talk to me
  • The ear cushions fit snug enough to drown out some background noise, but allows you to hear what is going on around you to remain alert.
  • As those who have these tabs know, you cant hear them when there is any background noise
  • They would work much better in a low noise environment as, again they are not studio headphones

  • I ordered these headphones to use with my IPhone and IPad, because the earbuds that came with them was so uncomfortable

Reviews around block noise (1.85 of 5)

  • Since blocking noise isn't really a selling point of these headphones, I won't lower the stars
  • sh e loves them
  • but if I am listening to music or watching a movie and don't want to disturb my roommates I much prefer external headphones as buds can make your ears itch
  • don't really surround your ears, so they really aren't great for blocking noise

  • I am looking forward to going to the gym and rocking these bad boys out
  • I will keep my $150 Axent Wear headphones, or these bad boys with me from now on
  • Also my boys love them
  • Go ahead and scoff and shake your heads at this silly boy making such rash comparisons.
