JVC - Over-the-Ear Headphones HAS75NB - Black

These JVC’s wireless noise canceling headphones are not the premium type but they are very well built. It is mostly made of plastic and the ear cup foam feels like a soft vinyl material. They are extremely light, one of the lightest I have used. So lightweight, you’ll hardly notice them on your head. Thanks to that lightweight they are also very comfortable. On the left ear cup it houses the power button and the USBC charging port. On the right it has the volume, noise canceling and the multifunction button (MFB). The setup is fairly simple: just turn them on and pair it. It can be paired directly from the Bluetooth settings on your mobile, tablet or PC without the requirement of an app. However, the benefit of using the JVC Headphone app will give you access to the device’s settings and ability to customize the multi function button (MFB) and other settings. The best part of the app is there's no need to create an account. When it comes to sound quality they don’t disappoint. They sound very good and they are loud for headphones at this price range. However, both the bass and noise canceling (ANC) could use some improvement. The bass has a bit of kick but not deep enough in my opinion. Even with the bass sound mode selected, the bass felt the same as the flat option, just slightly different. Same goes for the noise canceling (ANC) and ambient mode. Toggling between noise canceling and ambient sound there’s also a slightly noticeable difference. During phone calls it sounds really good and very clear. I did notice during phone calls the ambient sound became very apparent. I am not sure if that is a normal behavior or a glitch.The ambient noise does not sound like that when listening to music. It was very noticeable and it sounded good. I became very aware of my surroundings when the ambient sound was activated during calls. I really appreciate that the functionality of the app is very simple to use. One I really liked the most was the ability to customize the power and (MFB) buttons. You can make both buttons do multiple functions when it comes to controlling music and answering phone calls. You can even summon voice assistants. Overall these JVC’s noise canceling are very capable mid range headphones. They are extremely light and very comfortable, and can be worn for a long period. With 35 hrs of battery life they can go for several days without needing a charger. In the box you get the JVC headphone, short USB-A to USB-C cable and manuals.

TLDR: Very comfortable over-ear, (NC) Noise Cancelling, very high quality true wireless headphone from a reputable sound manufacturer, JVC model HAS75NB. Enables wireless Bluetooth or wired use, has folding flat design, swivel-in for compact storage and lasts 50 hours on a charge w/o NC and 35 hours with Noise Cancelling on. It works with phone voice assistants. Includes a short USB-A to USB-C charge wire. The low price belies the extreme value this model provides. The sound quality is superb, the noise cancelling is very strong and the comfort level in use is ideal. In use for phone calls the received sound and transmitted sound is always clear and resonant and no one knows or comments that I sound off when using these headphones. It effectively blocks out outside noise when used in the noisy clang of the gym environment with constant background music, many people talking, loud group classes in session and the general sound of metal weights and other equipment. Per the supplied fold-out single large sheet instruction sheet, the right side has a 3-position push switch which offers 3 settings: Normal/Bass/Clear for sound settings. [Note: it seems JVC does not offer an app with this model that allows adjusting the sound tone equalizer settings for the headphone & upload firmware upgrades. I mention that since other premium brands do that.] It also does not include a carry case or pouch.] In outside environments, the blissful effect of blocking out street noise, vehicle rumble and other annoying noises while enjoying a relaxing lunch break away from a busy work environment is a major reason to buy full ear covering headphones. These JVC HAS75NB surely perform in that measure. It has large 40mm drivers for each ear to generate the great musical sounds. The large, padded ear pads effectively block out most noise and the electronic ANC Automatic Noise Cancellation circuit removes most of the remaining noise. The built-in microphone allows using “OK Google” or “Hey Google” on my Android phone to call anyone in my contacts list, to increase or decrease phone playback volume or to ask anything such as weather reports or any other google search topic. As above, everyone stated I sounded clear using this headphone on phone calls. It runs Bluetooth 5.3 which in my experience means the range is well in excess of the stated 10 meters (30 feet) and exceeds close to 100 feet with no obstructions between phone and headphone as tested at an outdoor pool deck. The JVC allows a multi-point connection feature such as for a phone and a computer with Bluetooth. With my Samsung phone on Bluetooth and my Gigabyte laptop on Bluetooth connected as “Device 1” and “Device 2” I can hit play on either the phone or computer to start the sound. The device that hits play last is the one heard through the headphone. Hitting play on the other stops the first and starts the 2nd. It is not water resistant nor waterproof; no claims to that were made by JVC per the printed documentation supplied. As stated above, JVC does not supply a protective storage case nor a storage pouch with this model.

JVC is world renowned as a manufacturer of the highest level of consumer electronics. JVC just introduced new Noise Cancelling headphones, the HA-S75NB. These feather-weight headphones weigh 182 Gram (0.40 pounds)! These noise cancelling headphones feature 50 hours of battery life with Noise Cancellation turned off & 35 hours of battery life with Noise Cancellation activated. A free app is available for JVC Headphones that enables complete sound customization, a welcome addition. There are 3 memory positions, so you can save 3 favorite audio curves & switch them wirelessly, directly from the headphones. My favorite features of these headphones are their amazing comfort fit & lightweight design. You can wear them for hours without fatigue! I find the minimalist design of these headphones very appealing. They are not flamboyant; they blend & do not draw attention to the wearer. They feature the latest Bluetooth version 5.3; connection is solid without any dropouts. CONCLUSION: HA-S75NB features sound quality that is very good, considering the price of these headphones. They perform at the top of the mid priced headphones & earn my recommendation.
