Review on JVC Cancelling Wireless Assistant Compatible Headphones by Julie Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Awkward Controls: Headphones

TL;DR: Difficult seek controls to use due to one-button controls to toggle on/off, activate voice control, and seek forward/backward. I'm happy with the sound quality and I like that the left side is weighted so the panel on the right doesn't slip off when carried. If there's nothing on the other side, it's easier to slip it around your neck and pry the earbud out of your ear if the panel is slid down (if that makes sense?). It's easy to turn on and pair with my iPhone X, but the controls are a bit tricky to use. Others I've owned (non-JVC) use the volume controls to seek (hold the +/- buttons to seek, or press quickly to adjust the volume). They use a power/voice button and although I've been using it for several days I still haven't mastered the corresponding button press speed (see the image of the guide I uploaded). I activate Siri all the time and to be honest I don't use this chick for anything so it annoys me that I keep waking her up. Since I prefer not to use my cell phone ALWAYS, I deduct 2 stars. The awkwardness isn't enough to send it back as I appreciate the actual weight balance of the design. The collage I uploaded shows that the third largest set of ear tips was on the headphones in the box. (I use size 2 as I have small teenage ears so all normal sized adults probably won't need to change them lol.) They were 60% performing when I first put them in, including a small pocket to store everything , when not in use .
