JVC - HA FX9BT Gumy Wireless In-Ear Headphones (iOS) - Black

I started running again recently and have been using wired buds, which has been annoying. I wanted some bluetooth buds, but didn't want to spend a lot of money on them since they were for running and bluetooth doesn't sound good enough to spend a lot of money on. I needed something that wasn't going to fall out. I own a pair of the wired Gumy's and I know they stay in your ear. Even with the large control box hanging off your right ear, they still stay in fine while running. I recommend running the wire behind your head though. They give you small and medium rubber tips. The medium fit fine, but didn't seal properly to hear the full audio. Bass was lacking. Luckily I had some large tips from some other buds. I put those on and was able to get a great seal. Keep this in mind if your buy them, but may need different tips for them to sound their best. Sound quality is decent. Don't expect much, but they have a full sound. The bass is bit overpowering. The highs and mids are about even. They get fairly loud. Loud enough that i don't use them on max volume. I'm not sure how durable they will be, but for $20, you can't expect to be rough with them. Range is 15-20 feet so you can use this for other tasks as well. The controls work well for play, pause, and volume. I haven't tested call quality. I only had one issue. When i took them out of the box I expected them to have some charge, but they didn't. When I plugged them in the charging light didn't come on, so I thought they were DOA. I left them plugged in and tried to turn them on again and they powered up and have worked fine ever since. It was a little strange, but I am glad I let them charge before returning them. I recommend these for everything except serious audio listening.

I've reached a point in my life where I have little expectation for the life expectancy of earbuds, but about 3 months after purchase, they're still going strong. Good sound for $20 (cost me $15 w/ coupon) Bluetooth earbuds, and decent bass. I am not a full fledged audiophile, but it does bug me when I'm not getting a good listening experience, and these don't let me down. I rarely need them for long stretches and I usually charge before each use, so I haven't ran into big battery life issues, though these aren't my broken JBL headphones that gave me a strong 8hrs. My only complaint is that I have to remember to turn them off when not in use as they stay on for a good while. At this price point, I wouldn't be too upset if they broke after a while and I would likely buy again. My mother in law just bought a pair after her $100 Beats died out after a week and so far is happy with them. All in all, there are better Bluetooth earbuds out there, but I'd dare to say you'd be hard pressed to find a better pair for $20.

This pair of earbuds has excellent sound clarity. The bass response is much better than I would have expected for the price. A pair of Bluetooth earbuds that can actually render bass is a welcome surprise. A previous review indicated the bass and sound were good and that review was accurate. I would be willing to try the higher price point JVCs given these sounds this good. I can say at high volume the highs are a bit scratchy sounding so I bump the volume down a couple to relieve that problem. Even at regular price, these would be a good value.

These headphones work great! Bluetooth connectivity is pretty good, but range is probably average (sometimes drops out around 25-30 ft). Battery runs for a good while too. Audio is definitely great. I use these on the treadmill while running. I only have one complaint. The battery/charging compartment is a little heavy and it's not centered along the connecting cable, it's towards the right. When I'm sweating and my right earpiece gets slippery, the weight of that compartment tends to pull the right earpiece out of my ear. This could have been placed at the center or made lighter.

This is the first set of wireless earphones I’ve purchased. So far - about a month - I’m satisfied with their performance. The battery seems to hold its charge well and the sound quality is pretty good. My only complaint is that the actual in-ear units are uncomfortable in my ears - no way to tell that prior to purchase. They don’t insert far enough into my ear canals to get the best sound quality - I can only get that if I push them in and hold them. Still not ready to give up on them though.

I actually picked these up for my 13-year-old son. In the limited amount of time that I have listened to them, they seem to have fairly adequate frequency response and volume. I know that he is able to listen to them for at least 3 hours on a single charge, which is his biggest concern. This set of earbuds comes with a total of 3 pairs of pads, so you can adjust the pads to the size of your ear canals, within reason, at least, providing a fair amount of passive noise reduction. I'm probably going to pick up a pair for myself, actually.

I have been using these for several weeks primarily for listening to podcasts and audio books while walking. The sound quality is very good. I have purchase several other brands of inexpensive (<$25) bluetooth earbuds. One pair lasted about a year and then broke. Others lasted only a few months. So far, the JVC earbuds seem to be superior to the others in durability. It was apparent early on that the others might not last very long.

I wasn't sure about theses earbuds before I got them. I didn't know much about the JVC brand. I have had these for several days now and I love them. They sound as good as my cousins Beats earbuds. The battery is pretty decent. I have only charged it once since I got the earbuds and I have used them for several days now.
