Review on ๐ŸŽง JVC HAEC10B Sport Earclip Earbuds: Comfortable and Stylish Black Design by Jon Thompson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not even suitable for audio books

As mentioned in the title, I bought these to listen to books. I don't have a trained ear to pick out the intricacies of these speakers when listening to music, so figured any decent quality headphones would be just as good as any earbuds for just listening to voice recordings. I was very wrong. Plugging them in and continuing to listen to the book, I immediately thought the sound was noticeably inferior to the Phillips headphones I used. So I removed JVC and put Phillips back in and the difference was day and night. I don't have any musical vocabulary to describe them other than to say that the JVC was almost devoid of bass or resonance. If you want an example of how tinny sounds, just give these headphones a try. And remember, I was listening to a book, not music. I wasn't expecting much, but I expected a lot more from an experienced audio equipment manufacturer. My first pair of headphones were the ones that came with my Sony Walkman (I was literally the first kid on the block to have them; I think I was the first in all of Santa Barbara). Even then, and even when listening to music, the quality was amazingly impressive. You would think that more than 40 years later anything but the standard they set would be unthinkable. think again Sorry JVC. You've made some of my favorite products, but not only have you missed these headphones; You missed the whole target.
