Black In-ear Headphones

I've tried quite a few in-ear headphones and if it weren't for the Sennheiser CX-300 (check out my review of it) these would be my primary pair. The cord is a bit long, without the use of an extension cord so you're stuck with it. It's not overbearing but it could get kind of annoying when it hits you while walking, making noise through the earpieces. The right bud cord wraps around the back of the neck too, so if you don't like that design don't bother.

In a nutshell, these are comfortable, while not as comfortable as the Sonys or the Senns. The highs are not as crisp and clear as the Pasasonics or the Senns, but beat the pants (and the rest of the outfit) off of the Sonys in this department. If I were to sum up the quality of the sound in this model, I'd say that it's a good balance of bass power that isn't as strong as the Sony model but is very present, and decent clarity (which isn't as good as the Panasonics, mind you).

I have these ear buds in white. Within the first month or so the cord split in several places exposing the wires, just as the other reviewer experienced. I expected higher quality from JVC. Find another brand, these just aren't worth it.

The sound of these was a bit bright, but listenable. They were comfortable. I am using past tense here because the wires were so flimsy that the phones were useless within a month after I bought them. The first tear on the main wire I was able to repair with electric tape (ugly, but it worked). The second tear, closer to the right earbud, was unrepairable and so I had to replace them. Not worth the money until JVC improves the quality of the wires.
