    JVC HAS160W Headphones

    • Good quality for the money, I purchased these due to multiple surgeries (one completed) and w with all the background noise in hospitals I can watch YouTube or movies on my phone or tablet without disturbing anyone else and also being able to hear what I'm watching
    • These are compact but comfortable headphones that provide a decent quality sound while masking background noise
    • As those who have these tabs know, you cant hear them when there is any background noise
    • 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.
    • Just don't expect it to drown out background noise.
    • Unit woks OK, some background noise, cord is shorter than I expected.
    • They fit my ears really well, however, and block a reasonable amount of background noise.
    • Wish they were not broken as they looked great, small not heavy or bulky and would have been comfortable to wear
    • 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.
    • They would work much better in a low noise environment as, again they are not studio headphones
    • 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
    • I would not recommend as it is not durable for intended use.
    • 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
    • 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
    • well I assumed
    • I bought three sets of these, thinking when they break I'll just toss them out
    • sh e loves them
