    JVC HAS160W Headphones

    • Headphones look good, but too much plastic, good sound quality,I use it to connect the phone to listen to music
    • The plastic on the arms are really weak.
    • Any significant pressure on the earpiece, and the cheap plastic holding it in place breaks off.
    • The headphones didn't hold up for me and broke when I tried to open the rigid plastic packaging.
    • it is molded cheap plastic.
    • Headphones look good, but too much plastic, good sound quality,I use it to connect the phone to listen to music
    • The piece is lightweight but sturdy plastic of some sort; but it eventually cracked under my abuse, the detented adjustment mechanism inside quit keeping the metal band in place
    • The plastic on the side broke and the headphones are now useless
    • The packaging (hard plastic) made it very difficult to get these out
    • Connector is a small piece of brittle plastic.
    • (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.
    • I bet I lost 2 pounds opening the air-tight, hard-plastic packaging, but I eventually caught my breath and, thankfully, maintained my sense of hearing, because these have turned out to be just fine and dandy and just as advertised!
    • 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.
    • Forget the red cables, fancy plastic veneers, and 'extra bass' labeling marketing shenanigans
    • The mini plug is straight rather than the preferred 90 degree "L" shape.
    • 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
