JVC HAEB75A Sports Clip Headphone (Blue)

Bought these for exercising with because my previous "hook" earphones were always popping out of my earhole, having to be stuck back in all the time. The hook would hold onto my ear, but the actual bud part kept falling out of my ear so they were basically useless. These are a huge improvement, the bud stays securely in place in your ear through pretty rigorous activity and there is never any need to adjust it. I have slightly smaller ears, but the earhook itself is adjustable to a few different positions so I imagine it would fit most ear sizes. The cord's also got one of those cinch-up things to keep the headphones from getting too tangled during storage. They look very sleek and have a lower profile than most other earphones I've come across, which is a plus.

I tested these out with my normal exercise/training routine and they stayed in place the entire time - through running, weightlifting, and even jumping rope (something previous earphones never seemed to be able to...Read more

So the fit isn't the greatest, and the sound quality is good but not fantastic... why would I give these 4 stars? Because they don't go anywhere while you're working out! You can jump around, run, move, duck, twist...whatever. These headphones stay on your ears where they're supposed to, and that's the number one quality I look for in sports headphones.

The earbud portion is actually too big for me and doesn't fit in my ear like I would expect, but they still stay put. Additionally, it's a bit uncomfortable to wear these for 2 hours+, but they serve my purposes for working out quite well.

I would buy these again.

I have gone through a ton of headphones for use at the gym and needed a new pair (replacing a panasonic of similar style). I, personally think these are good but slightly preferred the panasonic. Ok so as to the size: I am well over six feet tall and they do fit me well. The black part (that goes around your ears) expands and retracts to fit different size ears but I think these would fit Shaq easily as I wear them all the way retracted. The bottom line, if you are petite or have petite ears, these are probably not the best choice for you. As to fit: They fit well once you figure out they need to be rotated forward (the entire unit is supposed to sit more horizontal (like the sun coming up). Once you get the clip set at the right size and rotate it forward, they stay on very well. The sound: it is good, not the best but more than adequate. I can hear easily when I plug it in at the gym and I don't have to crank the volume like I did with some of the "open air" headphones...Read more
