First off, let me say I'm not deaf. Well, not yet anyway.
I am a big Ipod user and found the Ipod earphones really fragile and uncomfortable, but have decent sound. They also have their wires stripped, so I was looking for a cheap replacement because I do stuff when I'm using my Ipod. I bought some other cheap ones but the sound was awful. So, I bought these.
The sound is decent. For headphones under $10, you can't beat them. The gumy material is much more flexible and able to withstand abuse. The earphones fit me comfortably, but like all things, YMMV. I'm able to listen with the Ipod at less than 1/4 sound without straining and maybe at 1/3 to drown out other things. Really.
My point is that if you're looking for a decent replacement for your Ipod earphones without blowing a lot of money, look no further. However, if you are having trouble with earbuds fitting you or want to really drown out noise around you, go for the more expensive...Read more

Fantastic headphones for the price,

My ears are really sensitive, so there was no way I could use the ipod headphones. Then I bought some $30 earbuds that were really comfortable, but met their end in a rather sad way. I saw the price of these headphones and thought, "They look cool and their cheap, but probably don't work well." I was wrong. These headphones have better sound than ipod headphones, and were just as good sound-wise as the earbuds that were over $20 more. They are not the most comfortable to those of use with sensitive ears, but they're tolerable. If you are looking for headphones that fit your ears perfectly or obliterate all outside noise, buy something else. But otherwise, you can't go wrong with these headphones.

Outstanding product!,

I was looking for some inexpensive earbuds that would stay in my ears to use while biking and working out. I came across these JVC Gumy's and saw they had good reviews. So I bought a pair since they were so cheap. I figured if they sucked it was only a loss of $9.
Wow was I surprised! The sound is excellent regardless of price. They blow away the earbuds that come with IPOD's. They sound as good or better than earbuds that cost over 5 times more!
Like other people have noted, the sound is much louder with these when on the exact same volume level as other earbuds I own. Somehow they must be much more efficient which will pay dividends with battery life.
When I use these I forget they are even on. Usually when I have earbuds on they get uncomfortable, not these. I find them so comfortable that I don't notice them at all. They also stay put while exercising. Of course, everyones ears are different and you might not luck out like I did on fit...Read more
