For $20, you will not find a better IEM on the planet. The sound quality is very comparable to $200 reference IEM's such as the Sleek SA6. These IEM's are far more comfortable than the SA6 to boot. Don't get me wrong, there is a slight difference in sound quality but for the price, these "cheap" IEM's have better value. They stay in, and you don't want to take them out either. They sound and feel great... not only to your ears, but to your wallet to.

As my wife and 'tween-ager are virtual Bermuda Triangles for ear buds, they eventually lose/break all theirs and subsequently borrow mine with the same outcome. Thus I recently found I needed to buy three new sets of ear buds at once. I bought three different sets off Amazon, all having decent reviews: JVC HAFX67R, JVC Xtreme Xplosives, and JLab Audio JBuds J2. Today I sat down to compare them all side-by-side. In the interim, a fairly new set of Apple buds resurfaced, so I had four sets for the bake-off. Caveats: First I am 40-something, with a few too many years of loud music, so I decidedly do NOT have audiophile ears. Second, I tested these right out of the package. Many reviews discuss the need to break in a set of drivers, so this could skew the results. Third, all of them sounded pretty good.

I normally don't use in ear phones b/c I have a hard time finding ones that fit comfortably. After reading the review on these JVCs, I though for less than $20, how could I go wrong. So far I'm very pleasantly surprised. Although the construction quality isn't stellar, you'd never guess that these are anything less than $50 by looking at them. They do come with a couple of extra ear pieces. I find the memory foam ones to be exceptionally comfortable, and they do a good job of blocking out ambient noise. As far as the sound, I'm equality impressed. I'd say that they sound balanced. Not too bright, decent, but not overwhelming bass. Reasonably good detail. Very easy to listen to. If you are prone to hearing fatigue,these may be the ticket.

Overall, an extremely comfortable pair of headphones with construction and sound quality that defies the price.
