Review on JVC HAEBX5B Sport Headphone Black by Joseph Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not as good as hoped

I bought these as a fallback for my current headphones. I'm a live radio/video broadcaster and love the look of the behind-the-ear configuration. I run the cord down the back of the shirt and the earbuds are barely visible. The set I already have that I also bought from Revain is great! Unfortunately they were sold out when I decided to buy a replacement set. That's how I ended up with these headphones. Their quality compared to my current headphones is not up to standard. It feels like the cable is about to fall apart at any moment. The plug doesn't even come close to the power plug I'm used to. The part that goes behind the ear looks "weird" and the whole construction feels cheap. The sound quality is not particularly satisfactory either. I would have expected a little more from JVC. This is disappointing.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Poor set
