Look Good – Feel Good – Sound Good
Very rarely do I feel compelled to review an item out of the package. But I could not wait to review these headphones from JVC. I got them in just a couple of days from LiveSpan.
These come in different colors. I selected the blue and they looked even better than what I saw on my laptop monitor. They are deep blue metallic, almost a purple.
The first thing that I noticed is the soft rubber ear loop. I have tried other “sport” headphones, but gave up on them after one wearing because they made my ears sore. Admittedly, my ears are bigger than some. The great thing about these JVC headphones is that by design, they appear that they will fit any size ear. If only I could find a bluetooth with an earpiece this comfortable.
I am no audiophile, but they sound great to me siting here in my office listening to one of PodRunner Podcasts. I expect that they will do the job just fine at the gym or on a run.
Uncomfortable
I ordered these because my headphones broke, and I needed good ones I could run with. These sound good, but they are really really uncomfortable to wear. The adjustable part is always adjustable, so they slip off easily, and they hurt my ears. I was hoping it wouldn’t be hard plastic, but it is. If you can wear the hard plastic ear buds, than this will probably work fine for you, but it is quite painful for me, and combined with the falling off – I’d just rather use my broken pair.
I would not recommend this to anyone, but the sound is good, so I gave it 2 stars.
Great for jogging!! very happy!!
Didn’t think too much about this product when i received it but after i used it the first i was very happy!! they dont move at all while ur out jogging. great product for jogging and working out!!
very happy!
Better than the cheapest, not the best sound quality tho
The headphones tend to dig into my ears with long usage time. However for usage during running,
it work quite well. So if ur expectation is a good sports headphone. This is for you. Will never fall
off your ears I can guarantee that.
Great Headphones, but too much sound leaks out.
The sound is very loud and clear. The bass is not so great. However, these headphones are sturdy and do stay on when one sweats. When using these headphones, I suggest putting the wire under your shirt so you do not accidentally take it out of your hear while exercising. The only major flaw is that people hear what you are listening to even when the music is not at the max volume. I have already had one complaint while listening through these headphones on my iPod.
Awesome Headphones!
You can’t beat these headphones at this price. Perfect for working out, comfortable, and NEVER fall out of your ear. Adjustable ear piece makes it fit any ear. So much better for working out with than the in ear “buds”. They seem to be holding up just fine. Sound quality is decent, nothing spectacular, but honestly, I only purchased these to use while I workout, so I’m not expecting the greatest sound quality. If you want great sound quality get Bose, if you want a solid headphone set for dirt cheap that never falls off your ears, get these!
Best I’ve found for active use
I bought these after the $50 Sennheiser unit I’d bought broke. The JVC’s stay put, don’t hurt, and sound good. During a couple of hour-long sessions (one hiking, one gardening) they never budged. At the sub $15 price they’re an amazing deal!
Not enough bass!
They’re good for working out/running since they stay on the ears very well, but in terms of sound quality, they sort of stink. There’s little to no bass, and bass is crucial to my workout. I recommend Sony MDR-J10 h.Ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design (Blue) over these.
Decent for the money
These are a good basic set of earphones for the price.
Pros: Over-the-ear clips – I like this because they don’t fall out when you get active; adjustable ear clips; Good solid construction; comfortable; Clear sound.
Cons: Bass quality isn’t that great. I was hoping that with this design they would let me feel a little bit of the boom but I’m really not getting that. I’m coming to the conclusion that for really decent bass you need a good set of in-ear phones that seal well (but then I kind of worry about the effects on hearing).
Overall a decent set of phones – I do use them quite a bit, especially when I need something that’s built solidly.
Great for the money
I bought these for my husband to use during his sweaty gym workouts. He said they don’t always stay in his ears while he’s running, but they have great sound and are putting up with his sweaty ears for now. Recommended earphones for a very reasonable price.
PERFECT for running!
I bought these to replace my ear bud headphones (they were great, but I was sick of them coming loose from my ear while running). These were wonderful. I ran a 5k with them in and didn’t have to adjust them even once. The adjustable hook is SPLENDID.
Excellent!
These headphones are great sounding and fit my head as they have an adjustable slider that makes the wider or narrower to fit your ears.
bets 13$ i ever spent.
Great for the gym!
I purchased these after my SONY MDR-J10 sport headphones finally gave out. As soon as I put these on I noticed the headphones fit much better in my ears than the Sony’s did. Second the earpiece loop is flexible and soft. The best feature is the ear loops are adjustable and have 3 settings which allow you to cinch the ear loops downward to keep the earpieces secure. Third the cord is of ample length. Now I plugged them into my Zune HD and turned on some Nin Inch Nails (good to test highs, mids, and lows). Highs are great, the Mids are a bit hollow but good for sport headphones, and the lows are also a bit lacking but far better than my Sony’s were. Next test was a 1 hour circuit training workout at the gym. Through all the exercises, which included barbells, jumping, pull ups, etc these things stayed really secure. With my old Sony’s I was always having to push them back in. Another great surprise was how well they isolate background noise. My Gym always plays terrible music and I always had to have the headphones cranked to block it out. I can lower the volume on my Zune from 26 to 20 with these. I love these headphones! ( I run too but just haven’t done that test yet, but I bet the will pass with flying colors).
