JVC HAF120W Gumy Headphone (White)

 (46 customer reviews)

I recently had the unplanned opportunity this Christmas to compare the JVC Gummy earbud headphones against the Sony version and the Memorex version of this product. So the scientist in me and my 2 daughters tried all three on an ipod nano. It was amazing the difference between the products. The bass is considerably clearer on the JVC product. The volume is much louder ( so you don't have to raise the volume as high and subsequently also raising the hiss and other noise of the particular player you're using). The vocals and cymbals were equally crisp. All this for a mere $8.99 plus S&H online or $14.99 in Walmart. The only drawback that we could find is that the earbuds are inherently uncomfortable for some of us after about an hour as compared to the in-the-ear type. Overall a thumbs up for the JVC Gumy Earbud headphones. Cheers...Les

these are great for everyday use, they fit well in my ears (better than the ones that are standar for i-pods) and are very very comfortable. the only reason for me not rating these a 5 is the lack of bass compared to my other ones. the rest of the sound is very crisp and i recommend these for their price value. worth the time and money, im using them now. :)

I bought these headphones after the ones for my iPod, with which I was quite happy, eventually got to the point where it sounded like the music was coming from a tin can.

I bought the "Coconut White" color, and I was surprised by the fact that one side of the wire is an ever so slight shade of red. It's no big deal, and it's barely noticeable from over 3 feet away, but I was just not expecting that.

The sound quality of the headphones is comparable to the ones that come with an iPod, and I have no complaints. I have never listened to music through a $200 pair of headphones, because I don't take it that seriously. They are plenty loud; my only complaint is they may be a little too loud. I like to listen to music the help me fall asleep, and set the sleep timer on my iPod. However, even with the volume on the lowest setting, it isn't quite quiet enough. For all other times of day, I have no problems.

After using the iPod headphones for almost a year, I...Read more
