Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has a very clear and impactful sound, with enough volume to drown out background noise. However, this device under performs when it comes to music that has a significant amount of base.

they work really good. sound is good.little big for my ears but still works good

For the price you get alot of premium features like Auto turn on, auto pairing, noise canceling, easy one touch settings, magnetic charging case, independent usage, and more. The sound is good to great for an in ear

The JVC HAA18TB Earbuds are a serious contender at the price point they are being sold at, simple as that I jnow what youbare reading these reviews for, are they loud? How do they fit? How is the bass? And last, how long does the battery last? I am about to give you the results of my testing and comparison to my favorite earbuds First, the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is simply because no matter the rubber adapter for my ear, they do ot stay in, the shape does not work for my ears but does for my wife. With that said, I do still use these for things like mowing, desk work and just relaxing. I use earbuds almost 24/7 due to a major ear defect I have that causes tinnitus at a high level almost my entire life. As for the bass, they hit real nice but are definitely fake tuned to give more bass than you need. I actually adjusted the bass way down on my equalizer on my phone, tablet and PC to compensate and boom, great sounds all around after that. The mids are clear, not muddy at all, and the highs are crisp and clean with a tad sound blurriness past 12k hz, for the price, I can 100% expect and accept this tiny downfall. Are they loud? Heck yes they are loud, especially in my wife's ears as they sit in much farther and seal up to the outside world better she cannot wear them at full volume. The sound will get distorted at high volumes, its not hard to find their threshhold and pass that, so be careful. The battery is amazing, period. I can go a week on a case charge and still have some left over. I wear them about 4 hours a day, so the advertised battery level, depending on your volume, last well over that number for me. Would I buy them at retail or sale price? At retail without a doubt, on sale, I will pick up an extra set for my wife and for me. I can 100% recommend these but make sure to try all the adapters right away and find the right fit, just in case your ears are shaped weird like mine. As for comparing to my $230 earbuds, they acrually throw a good fight with them besides the comfort and fit. The sound is close but well more defined on my expensive set. I hope you ejoy your JVC earbuds, they will be a great purchase for most people.

The Marshmallow True Wireless headphones come packaged with several sets of ear caps (3 silicone, 2 memory foam), a USB-C charging cable and a charging case. To get started with them, you simply pull the tabs off of the earbuds, place them in the charging case to activate them, and remove them to pair them to your device. Because these are rated as ‘low latency’ they are supposed to be good for gaming. I tested them by listening to several tracks of music on my iPhone 14 Pro. Comfort: The headphones are comfortable. They are very lightweight so you barely notice them. I did feel as though they stuck out from my ears quite a bit, but they never felt insecure to me. I ended up using the small silicone ear tips. I did try the small memory foam tips, but they seemed to just push the earbuds out of my ears. I’m not sure if I would be comfortable wearing these earbuds for long periods of time, but they weren’t uncomfortable for the hour or so that I wore them for testing. Sound Quality: I found the sound quality to only be average. There is no active noise cancelling but the earbuds do a good job with basic sound isolation. I wasn’t able to hear much around me when music was playing at full volume. That said, if a music track was quiet, I could hear ambient noises creep through. I was able to hear music clearly, but the low-end was lacking. I have a playlist designed around different types of music and everything just fell flat to me. Ease of Use: The headphones are very easy to use. They have basic touch controls embedded into the earbuds themselves with each individual earbud controlling different functions. As I mentioned there is no ANC or other special features that are built into the earbuds so you really just get play/pause, advance, volume up and down as the controls. Value: Since True Wireless earbuds can cost three times more than these Marshmallow headphones do I would say these are a good value. They are simple, basic wireless earbuds with an average sound quality.

28 hr maximum traveling battery life, using a Lithium ion battery enhanced case for recharging while mobile. This product was given to me for trial use and my subsequent evaluation, at no charge, by JVC for the BestBuy Tech Insiders Network. Features: Easily adjust volume and answer phone calls or mute the music for less aural competition while having a conversation with a live person with simple tap on the surface of the ear bud Built in microphone in the earpiece, discrete but effective. There was no excess noise pickup from normal surroundings that required a lot of repeating what was said during a phone call. Water resistant to IP X4, officially “rain resistant” headphones, but the case is NOT IP-X rated connects easily to my iPhone via Bluetooth version 5.3 Includes a USB-C compact cord for recharging the case; the earphones recharge automatically when returned to the case The packaging was nearly plastic free; no plastic to toss into the waste stream, but rather all recyclable paper box and liners. There was a drawstring storage bag that was plastic film, that is recyclable, if you do not need one more carrying bag. Extra size ear molds are included: a rather standard rubbery plastic in S,M, and L. Plus two “memory foam” fittings in a S and M. I am assuming the texture of the memory foam was the derivation of the brand name “Marshmallow” that they assigned to the product. Features we liked: Price is quite reasonable, certainly well below the top of the line, but higher than many similar products widely available sound quality and music fidelity was very nice; our preference is mostly classical, and the full fidelity of the entire orchestra was quite good speed and reliability of the Bluetooth pairing with the iPhone; not a lot of extra fiddling with the Settings app on the phone; pairing was seamless and quick ease of adjusting volume and muting with a simple tap of the side of the earbud case and charging is secure, easy to remove and replace the earphones, and the lid and the earpieces are held in position with magnetic latching so no inadvertent dropping of the case and loss of your headphone Small indicator lights on the case and the headphones that indicate when charging power is active (see photos) Features we did not like: The ear buds fit easily into my ear canals, but were too large for my wife. Even with the smallest size tips attached, they did not seat into her canals, and protruded excessively. They were therefore easily dislodged, and would not be trusted for outdoor wear, especially if for physical activity such as outdoor hiking or running, where the black colored ear bud would easily be lost from detection. So her use will be limited to indoors at home only. The photo shows how the small protrusion on the inferior edge that is supposed to ride in the Intertragic (see anatomy photo) notch protrudes and would be easily caught or brushed and dislodges the earbud. Even when they were maximally inserted, she could easily slide her finger behind the inferior protrusion of the headphone and her ear. Additionally, she has a sensitivity to a variety of plastic materials, creating a cutaneous reaction and irritation rather promptly. The plastic used for the ear pieces (both the memory foam and the regular ones) created a noticeable burning sensation within about 10 minutes of wearing. This will be a deal breaker for her to ever wear these. Her allergy is somewhat atypical, and probably is not an issue for 98% of the population, but if the customer has a reaction to other similar plastics (elastic waistbands, wristwatch polymer straps, etc.) they might want to avoid this product. She is NOT allergic to the silicone rubber watchband of the AppleWatch, for example. The black color would be a bit difficult to find if the small earbud fell while outdoors, unless you were on a smooth hard surface, such as a sidewalk or asphalt. In grass, along a walking path, gravel surface, etc. it might be near impossible to discover. This is where the extra value of Apple’s “Find My” technology could be worth the extra money. A pair of $50 headphones are less expensive, but not totally disposable.

So i have tried to use wireless earbuds before but never really had any luck because the earbud would just fall out of my ear after about 5 minutes of use. But i am the type of guy who never gives up so i tried these jvc True Wireless Headphones and i could not be happier. When you first open the package it's a little daunting of a task to get the box open. They must have had a team of engineers design this box because you have one compartment with the earbuds and one compartment with the earbuds earpieces to help fit your ear. Now i must say on other earbuds i have gotten you normally get like one extra set of the little rubber part incase the ones you put on first get torn. Well not in these jvc earbuds you get an envelope with different sizes and a bunch of them. So you not only have a great selection of sizes to fit your ear canal but you have enough of them to last a lifetime. These are noise canceling earbuds and i work in a restaurant that is super loud in the kitchen area so if i just want to cut the noise down a ton i don't even need to listen to music just put them in and i don't have a headache in 2 minutes. The sound quality is unbelievable. You have 3 modes for the sound base, Normal and clear. I use the base and you can definitely hear the difference. There are touch sensors on each earbud 1 tap is pause/play 2 taps is volume down and 3 taps is volume up but obviously you can control the volume with you phone also and the is a touch sensor on each earbud. Two last things these earbuds fit my ear comfortably and do not fall out and they also have a 28 hour use. Make sure you charge them fully once you open them up to give you the best and longest life of the battery's. Honestly for the price you are getting some what feels and sounds like higher end earbuds.

You can't go wrong with earbuds nowadays. They all sound good, they all look good, and they can take a beating. I think it all boils down to which one can do "the job" and be reasonably-priced. This JVC marshmallow earbuds is a serious contender, especially that it is very reasonably-priced. It comes in a light case. The overall weight is a little light and the size is a bit larger than most earbuds. The material of the plastic does not feel premium, which is expected at this price point. The hinges though are nicely made and the fit of the buds inside are snug. The surface feel of the case is just like any plastic, but it does not feel flimsy or cheap—you just know it is inexpensive but it does not sacrifice the overall experience. The earbuds itself is made of the same material but feels more premium. It is solid, although the way it sits in the case can be a little disorienting to remove and place back in because the case holes do not directly translate to the shape of the buds. Now, putting it on may be a little challenging for most people who are not used to wearing those sponge earplugs. The “marshmallow” material used in the earbuds is made of the same material used for earplugs—you pinch them to decrease the size, then you place them in your ears. If you do not do it correctly, the buds will fall out, and if done correctly, they stay in perfect position. It does come with different sized tips, and you can also opt for the normal non-“marshmallow” tips, which are also included. Although I suggest to stick with the marshmallow ones because they enhance the the quality of the audio. Connectivity is easy—it’s pretty much turn on and play. Voice prompts from the buds are on point on what you need to do and my phone easily recognized it for pairing. The connection is pretty tight. I DID NOT HAVE ANY DROPS which is huge for me. I even forgot that my phone was in the kitchen because the phone connection was solid—I was on a phone call and the kitchen to the office was 40 feet away with a concrete firewall in between. Call quality is decent—nothing notable – just straightforward doing its job. Audio quality is decent as well—it is nothing impressive, and usually I look for crisp quality and range of high to lows. But again, it is decent—and the fit of the “marshmallows” keep the sound intact so the quality is focused on the audio. Because it is made of this “marshmallow” material, it cancels noise VERY WELL. I will recommend this on plane travels because it cancels out environment noise. However, I do not recommend it being used for anything that requires you to be mobile, such as running (especially outdoors) because you will not hear anything—you will not have a sense of your immediate environment. These earphones are great for focused audio. Overall, it is a good set. It has no frills and it does “the job” for me. Calls, audio and treadmill runs. If you want something simple and reliable without breaking the bank, this one is good for you too.

The JVC HA-A18T “Marshmallow” earbuds is one of JVC’s latest entrants to the otherwise crowded earbud space. That said where does it all fit in and what would be its virtues? Having used these earbuds for a week, here are my thoughts. The HA-A18T are small earbuds which are barely noticeable when worn in your ears. Likewise, the charging case is small too. But don’t let its size fool you. The earbuds themselves have rating of 7.5 hours of battery life. And when used with the charging case, one can get a total paying time of 28 hours which is already decent capacity. The case is charged by a supplied USB-C cable and can be fully charged within two and half hours for the case and two for the earbuds themselves. A ten minute quick charge of the earbuds will also give you an hour’s worth of playing time. This is in line with premium earbuds. And quite honestly a very nifty feature should these be the only pair of earbuds or the main earbuds that you use. The earbuds themselves have an IPX4 rating meaning they are water resistant. And in most actual use cases, an IPX4 rating is pretty much sufficient meaning you can still workout and accidentally splash water and still have your earbuds working. Personally, I really don’t see the practically having waterproof or IPX7 rated cases. (I am saying this because I have two other branded IPX7 earbuds. And while both products work underwater, I do not see a practical purpose for it.) These earbuds also utilize BT 5.3 which in a nutshell has a better signal connection but throughput would be the more accurate description (but the ordinary person would not really about technical terms.) It has no connected app like most earbuds. But then again this is a double edged sword some would prefer an app whereas others don’t. Truthfully, I am fine without using an app since I don’t have to provide any personal info just to use these earbuds. All controls are done by the touch sensitive earbuds. As for sound quality, the default sound signature has a good balance of bass and treble. Mids are also decent too. There are also settings to increase bass and also lessen bass through the clear mode option. To help further enhance the sound, these earbuds include memory foam ear tips aside from silicone ones. Memory foam ear tips provide a better seal than silicone ones thereby proving better noise isolation and better clarity. Truth be told, I do not see the value in active noise canceling in earbuds (having several of them too.) But your needs may differ in mine. The only complaint that I would give for these earbuds it that call volume seems to be tiny. It is still clear but volume seems lacking. But this is no deal breaker for me since I use this for listening to music rather than making extended calls. And at this price point these earbuds are a good value since it provides a good balance between performance and price. These are a highly recommended pair of earbuds for those who want good sound quality but do not want to break the bank.

Received the JVC Low Latency Earbuds Marshmallow TWS shortly after choosing them to review. They arrived packed nicely and included are 3 pair of different size silicone ear tips. Also you'll find one large and one small pair of foam ear tips. I put on the smaller foam ear tips as they felt the most comfortable. Please note that when you place the foam ear tips on DO NOT TWIST THEM. You simply push them straight onto the earbud. JVC even includes a paper note that illustrates this procedure. They also include a clear, concise instruction guide. You will need to have your own charger, which was not a problem for me as I have plenty, but JVC does provide the short charging cord. Once charged I connected them via Bluetooth to my phone and that went without a hitch. You have 3 sound choices ~ Normal, Bass or Clear. There are other functions you can do by simply pressing on the bud as shown in the guide. They're very simple to use! Each earbud can also be used independently of the other which is a great feature. Once they were fully charged I proceeded to listen to some of my own recorded music (yes I sing) and WOW! I figured listening to my own video recordings was the best first test. Well I can say these earbuds sounded out of this world great with absolutely NO latency whatsoever with my videos. Other earbuds I own can't even come close in that respect and sound quality, especially since these are so inexpensive! As far as the memory foam ear tips I found them VERY comfortable and my ears didn't start itching like they sometimes do with silicones, especially after long wear times. Impressive! I then listened to professional music and video shows on You Tube and all had no latency or any other problems. I personally like the Normal mode for all around listening as there are no muffled music or voices whatsoever but it still has that nice push with just enough bass. The CLEAR I found is a wee bit harsh, even with just listening to an audiobook and of course the Bass gives you more of a richer sound. It's personal preference of course. We all hear things differently. One more neat thing is when you change the sound mode it is announced. She will say NORMAL, BASS, CLEAR when you push the bud to change. I liked that. These charged fast, held it for a long time and are VERY well built, especially for the low price. They have a nice case that shows you the charge by white dots on the front. Honestly the sound blew me away as well as the convenient features and I can definitely recommend their purchase! You can't go wrong. I love mine and they could easily be priced much higher. Thanks JVC for offering such a superb product at an affordable price!

For the price you shouldn’t be expecting high fidelity and that’s the reality of these earbuds. They don’t have significant bass but they do offer fairly good clarity. Fit overall isn’t a major plus/minus as they’re serviceable. My use for these earbuds are for when my kids want their first set and don’t want wires. The lack of volume is actually a bonus here because you won’t be concerned about damaging their ears versus a set that they can blast at high volume. With this budget friendly approach I’m not constantly concerned about a pair getting lost or left behind. This holds true for quick trips where I’ve forgotten my earbuds and just need a quick pair to get through the day. In that regard I now keep this pair in my backpack as a backup pair for those days I invariably forget to charge my main set. Case works well but placement is a bit finicky for smaller fingers. The real shining star here is the number of replacement tips they include with 2 sets of foam and 3 sets of rubber tips. I haven’t seen a plethora of options like that in years with most manufacturers assuming you’ll just buy your own tips if you want foam ones. Overall these earbuds are really great for their use case - a budget set of Bluetooth headphones and are an easy grab versus a standard wired set as a similar price makes getting the wireless set an easy choice.

The JVC wireless earbuds are surprisingly good. Though not noise canceling, they seem to block out most of the outside noise while in use. They come with a charging cord, different size earpieces and a charging case for storing them and charging when not in use. Using them is very simple. Once you charge them, the included instructions show you how to connect them to your phone via Bluetooth and how to use the buttons to change tracks, increase and lower volume and change sound modes. The three sound modes are normal-bass-clear and can be accessed with the button on either earbud. These are basic earbuds, but sound very good and with the different types of earpieces are not fatiguing to wear for long periods of time. I have been impressed with how good these sound with different types of music. From Rock to Pop to Standards, the JVC’s present crisp clear tone that sounds fuller than they would appear to, based on their size. The volume gets fairly loud, but not to the point that you would feel discomfort. For basic earbuds, these are great for on the run because of the small size of the charging case they don’t take up much room. The advertised battery life is twenty-eight hours and while I have been using them off and on for a week, and the charge seems to keep on going. One other great feature is they are water and sweatproof and they are great for working out. I can’t say enough about these mighty little earbuds. They are comfortable, sound great and waterproof. My only wish would be for them to be noise cancelling, but for the price you can’t have everything!

The latest "marshmallow" ear buds from JVC are a very comfortable, easy to use pair of ear buds that deliver a great sound for a low price. There are, of course, limitations that come with that price. The packaging is simple. The earbuds come with the earbuds themselves, a case that also charges the ear buds, a 'charging cable' that is ridiculously short, extra covers to help customize the size for a comfortable fit, and 'instructions'. The instructions are fairly useless and don't really help much unless you've never used a device like this before. It didn't even point out that the 'charging pins' are covered by tape, so that was a minor annoyance. I thought I'd been charging the earbuds for a day or so, only to discover the tape prevents them from charging until you remove it (and honestly I don't understand the point of shipping with that tape on there--what is it preventing or protecting? I assume there's some purpose, but I have no idea what it might be). So I charged them again for a few hours. There are lights on the front of the case that indicate when the earbuds are charging, so that is helpful. There is no app to be used for these, so that is a plus in the age of everything requiring an app to use. Obviously, that means that there are no real controls for the sound so that may be a dealbreaker for those that like equalizers or just making minor adjustments to base or treble. A big bright spot is how easy they are to pair. I was able to pair them to my TV, my phone, and my computer with no problems. They've had no issue staying paired, either, which is not my typical experience with earbuds. They sound very good for being this inexpensive. Music is clear and can be played very loud if that's your thing, voices are clear in podcasts, phone calls, etc. In short, they get the job done and get it done well considering how inexpensive they are. They're lightweight, charge quickly and last a long time before needing to be charged. They're also pretty comfortable for wearing for workouts, running, etc. There aren't a lot of instructions so you will be on your own there, but it's not too difficult to figure out (seriously JVC, just a few words would fix this easily)--just don't forget to remove that tape covering the charge ports! Also, on other minor annoyance--it's very easy to turn them off accidentally while attempting to adjust them. Those buttons definitely could have been located in a better spot. Fortunately they're also very easy to turn back on so it's not too big a deal. If you are in the market for something like this, or just want to test to see if 'ear buds' are a product you might like but aren't sure then this inexpensive well working choice is right up your alley.

Found it in clearance for less of 20 dollars, the battery is pretty solid, good duration. The sound doesn't disappoint for what i expected. So, if you're looking for a some earbuds that goes well between quality and good price, i recommend this. And if you find it with a discount on it don't let the opportunity run away.

Very Easy to start using the Marshmallow Headphones w/o Even Manuals and online help. I had these Headphones working on 2 devices in less than an hour. Just open your devices Blue-Tooth Configuration , select the headphone and pair them, it was remarkably simple and with a PIN Security code as optional, Product works with the Panasonic KX-TGD890 Cordless Handset and enhances your phone experience. The Blue tooth and Microphone work in Tandem to allow voice control, clear hands free mobile use of the cordless and remarkable quality to and from the headset and main line. It was also an ease to get it to work with my Android Phone, improving its Blue-Tooth Quality both in use of the microphone as well as the reception of voice, Music, Mail and Apps like Utube. Hands free calls from smart Phone and/or Gamin Blue Tooth GPS and its remarkable noise cancellation allow my 87yr mom who is hard of hearing to actually hear people in a fast food joint over 600 ft away, which I found even more remarkable. The Ear buds are universal and fit comfortably on any ear, are well made and designed to be durable. The Hard case and built in charger are quality products that can be charged at any 5V outlet using the same cable as your phone. A/C Wall Adapter NOT included.

These earbuds are not too bad for the money, but don’t expect much from them. They will only sound ok if you get a decent seal from the different sized tips included with them. Even with a good seal, they only sound ok to my ears for music or video. Again, these are very low priced earbuds so I am not totally surprised here. I also found them to be quite tight in my ears, but I know that will vary on the user. They come with medium size attached right out of the box, but even the smaller sized tips they also come with were a little tight in my ears. I was able to get an ok seal with one of the tips for my ears. The sound was just ok for music or anything else. I tried these with my Pixel 6A, and had some issues getting one earbud to connect, but eventually it did. A selling point of these earbuds is its low latency mode, and while I didn’t witness any out of sync audio, I also didn’t notice it with that mode not in use. Same with my Steam Deck game device. No noticeable latency either with it on or off, either for videos, or for actual games. If there is one big selling point for these earbuds it is that they do have very good battery life and because they are so low priced, if you lose them you won’t be losing a very expensive set. They are rated at 7.5 hours on a full charge, and I am pretty sure I got at least this much out of them before they needed to be put back in the charging case. Overall, I would say these might be a good option for someone who might lose earbuds or similar small sized items, but look elsewhere if you want sound quality. There is no equalizer, just 3 settings they refer to as normal, clear, and bass.

Love these ear buds. Nice sound, nice fit, and easy to connect to any device with bluetooth

Very, very good, soft to the ear. They sound amazing. Battery life is great. I have issues connecting to other earphones, these gave me no trouble.

I have purchased numerous, mostly cheap wireless earbuds. These JVC buds do an admiral job, among the sub $60 range. Fantastic battery life. I work a 10hr shift, and do put them in the case during lunch, but they have never failed to make it through till I'm off. The sound is solid. Highs, and mids are great. Bass is lacking, but not nearly non existent, as I have experienced with most. These are the go-to earbuds for, not too expensive, enjoyable, last all day+, wireless earbuds!

I really like these ear buds. I have been hesitant to purchase bids in the past preferring my over the ear headphones but I needed something more compact at times. The sound is good and the fit good. The one draw back are the controls which aren’t intuitive to me.
