Best money used, i know it not cheap but this not only help with the noise control, it stay on my ear even when im running or wrestling.

Small but powerful! Love the over the ear concept. Keeps you aware of your surroundings.

very comfortable. wearing during work out and they will not fall out.

These headphones are perfect size and provides great sound. The value of the product for the price is worth it. Definitely would recommend these headphones.

Best set of earbuds I've owned. Best buy had the lowest price on them, and immediately available for pick up.

I return this product. Because it does not have noise reduction. When you wear them in the club and that's a no for me. It doesn't cancel out the noise as far as fitting on the ear, they are great. Now the other part of the sound, as far as the music playing in them the volume doesn't come up loud enough. For me.

I love them. Forget they be on my ear because they are so comfortable

I love these. I like my AirPods also but…these JVC are really nice at work. They are open so I can hear what’s going on around me, even can answer the phone at work and still do my work while using them. The sound is really good and I’m very happy with them. I bought them for use at work anyway. I like to listen to music and other things at work and I can do everything I need to with them .

Very sensitive microphone. Quite clear and natural voice.

Really comfortable and perfect for wearing while I work or around the house… when I still need to be able to hear what’s going on around me but still want to listen to music. Battery life has been great!

Comfortable ear buds that don’t shove into your ears!! Try them you will never go back to plugs.

Work great doesn't drop off your ears good for running

These are an interesting "nearphone" that strikes a balance between comfort, functionality, and style. After spending some time using them, here’s a detailed review of my experience. What’s in the Box: The package includes two nearphones, a charging case, and a short USB-C charging cable. While the inclusion of essentials is appreciated, I was slightly disappointed that wireless charging is not supported, as it would have added to the convenience factor. Initial Setup: Pairing these headphones with my phone was impressively simple and seamless. Even before I tapped on the Bluetooth button on my phone, the nearphones were detected. Two taps later, the setup was complete. This level of intuitiveness in connection is a definite plus. Design and Comfort: One of the standout features of these nearphones is their comfort. Initially, I had to look at the manual to figure out how to properly wear them, but once I got the hang of it, I was pleasantly surprised. The nearphones are incredibly lightweight, to the point where I could barely notice their presence even after wearing them all day at work. This makes them good for long-term wear, whether you're in a professional setting or casually listening to music. This design, however, may not be ideal for those looking for a fully immersive audio experience, as ambient noise is always present. Sound Quality: The sound quality of these headphones is decent but not great. For casual use like podcasts, phone calls, or background music while working, they perform adequately, but they fall short for music junkies seeking high-quality audio. Controls: The touch controls on the nearphones could use improvement. While functional, they lack the responsiveness that I’ve gotten with other similar devices. It takes some getting used to, and even then, it feels like the weakest aspect of the product. Battery Life: On the positive side, the battery life is excellent. Whether you’re using them for a full day of work or intermittent activities, the headphones have enough charge to keep up. Final Thoughts: The JVC Open-Ear Headphones offer good comfort, ease of use, and battery life. They are perfect if you need a lightweight headphone that keeps you connected to your surroundings. However, the sound quality is only decent and the touch controls could be better. Overall, these headphones are a great choice for casual use. I'm giving these "nearphones" 4 stars and I would recommend to a friend.

they’re not that bad. I love the clip around the ear, but the quality needs to be approved.

They work really well for what they are but can get uncomfortable wearing after a while

Stay away, too quiet easily over powered by other outside noises. Returned immediately

These things were a new experience for me as I feel they will be for most. However, I will say the sound quality is very impressive. The first thing that occurred to me was how small these things actually are. They are roughly the length of a breathable nose strip and buds on the end are fairly typical size. They come with a small, but durable, charging case and cable. There is also an app for it that is very basic and other than setting some specific situations I don't think is really all that useful. The truly unique thing about these nearphones is that they clip onto your ear and point the music into the canal instead of being inserted into the ear itself. The name suggests that but I can tell you nothing prepares you for the awkward initial feeling of doing it. I clipped them a little less than midway up and the connecting piece rests on my earlobe. It feels like it should be loose and flimsy, but it is not. I was able to clean the garage, mow, weedeat, and walk without them moving much at all. I had no reason to reinsert or adjust the clip itself. I don't know if that will wear out over time, but I was very impressed with it. I had my wife wear them for a little while (another good thing about not entering the ear is they're sharable even beyond the wife) and she said they hurt the outside of her ear after about 30 minutes. I didn't have that problem, but I can understand how they would since they rely on a clamping method. The sound is crystal clear and highly impressive. I cannot state enough how good it sounds for how small it is. I listen to music and audiobooks constantly and can say that the music sounds incredible (I listen to rock and alternative without a lot of heavy bass) and the books are clear and easy to hear/understand. One of the selling points is that you can hear what's going on around you and this is true, but also very awkward at first. Obviously, they're not designed for the yard work I was doing and it shows because the ambient noise far outweighed the ability of the nearphones. However, on my walk they worked like a charm. I could hear bikers approach and some of nature, but I never lost track of the book I was listening to. Specific uses are going to be the key to these. They are two independent pieces and I did not experience any desynchronization between the two like I have with other true wireless devices. In fact, it works so well that I had to cover each ear independently a few times to verify the sound was coming from both. That sounds like a weird thing, but it was so fluid and natural I had to block sound to realize any difference, which is a good thing. My battery never died and I was constantly using them for about 4 hours. Put them in the charging case and used them the next day without issue. The only real negative I have is the app. It lets you choose how each nearphone works. You can choose the primary function of the buttons and the sound itself, but I didn't really notice any difference as I went through the settings. It's a very basic app and I'm sure it'll grow as the product matures.

Battery life is awful. Can’t get through a work day without them dying on me.

The latest model of JVC Open-Ear Headphones HANP1TB are also called Nearphones by the company. I have purchased JVC electronics in the past, but it had been quite a long time since I had used any of their earbuds or headphone products. I was interested in the Nearphones because of the open ear cuff style that they used as opposed to earbuds that go inside of your ear. It took some time for me to adjust to the special way you put them on your ears. I finally realized that the proper way to put the Nearphones on is to have the bump facing up on the outside of my ear which means the smaller portion of the speaker goes inner edge of my ear canal without blocking it. I then become comfortable with using them because they provide great sound without blocking out the environment around you. They do not have active noise cancellation in this type of style so you can be aware of noises you might not normally hear. I downloaded the JVC application on Android and IOS so I could use the Nearphones on either smartphone I have since they work with each software system via Bluetooth connections. I found that there was not any difference in the pairing process on either system and that the application appeared the same on each type of smartphone. I was a little disappointed in the overall ability to tweak the sound properties since it only has three settings: normal, high, and bass. The difference between the settings is that normal stays at the same volume level that you set in the main music setting, and high makes it louder than the normal setting. The bass setting only enhances the bass sound in the music compared to the others. I did receive a firmware update after I downloaded the application so I am hopeful that in the future JVC might improve the settings but at least the music sounds great on a regular setting. The rest of the application has positive features so you can customize the controls on each headphone to do different activities for music or in relation to phone calls. The last good feature of the product is that they can last up to twenty hours of use with the battery in the case that comes with them. They also have the IPX4 rating for being resistant to moisture or sweat. JVC also made them magnetic so if you are not wearing the Nearphones you can set them down and they can stick together until you put them away in case for charging. I just found that little tweak on accident but liked it so I would not lose them easily. I can say that after a week of using them on multiple devices I am pleased with the overall good quality and innovation that JVC used on the Nearphones and will recommend them to my friends and family to try out as well

Sounds good not the greatest…. Disconnects itself when you receive a call and so u have to manually connect back to talk. Some people will hear you and others will not
