Review on JVC HAFX103MW Xtreme Xplosives Series Headphone With Remote And Mic White (HAFX103W) by Nancy Acosta

Meh. OK. Bass response isn't as good as the first JVC XXplosive headphones I bought a few years ago. Sounds a bit cheap and trite. Good for audiobooks and podcasts, but probably not the best option for music lovers. On the other hand, there is a built-in microphone, so I can use these headphones with my phone when using it as a phone and not just an audio player. But back to the cons, they're not as durable as the original JVC earbuds I bought and this new pair doesn't have that cute hinged plastic box that's so pocket-friendly. I'm happy to pay a few bucks more for this little case which probably cost the manufacturer 10 cents and overall could save JVC some money by throwing away the disposable packaging that I don't use. The cables are tangle-free, hold the mic, ship it in a sturdy plastic sleeve I can carry in my pocket, sealed with a UPC barcode for $20 or less, and it's a five star product.
