JVC Sports Headphones
Its really funny.
The whole reason why I am able to write about this topic so much is because I am so absent minded.
Two days ago I was at the gym and I forgot my Philips headphones with the neckband on a workout bench.
The following day when I went to get them they were, of course, gone.
I actually had found this pair to be mediocre at first but I had grown to like them.
You would think I would have been angry.
Quite the contrary.
This has happened some many times I just said to myself “I guess I have a reason to make another post on my blog.”
So I go to Best Buy and look for some headphones to run with that I have never tried before. I figured it wouldn’t be too long before I loose whatever pair I bought so I did not want them to cost over $25.
There were a few choices to choose from but I ended up settling on the JVC HA-EBX85-A in-ear clip Headphones.
I was talking about which headphones not to get in a previous post and canal phones were one of them but these were the only ones that were in my price range so I bought them. I broke my own rule but the $19.95 price tag was too good to pass up.
These headphones are supposed to be “ideal for exercise and fitness activities, as they remain secure and comfortable even when working up a sweat.”
So after a week of using them here is the review of these JVC HA-EBX85 model.
They did not fall out. The left and right ear clip is sort of flimsy and hard to get in and secure to your ear but once you get them in they do not come out.
They do not have the most comfortable feeling to them (though not the worst).
The sound quality is average.
I can already tell you that this model is not going to be particularly durable.
On average though, when you factor in that 19.95 price, I would give them a 6 out of a possible 10.
You can get better headphones but I have found that for canal phones, and for the price, they give you their value.
I went the official JVC website and found that you can in fact order the HA-EBX85s online, along with a lot of their other merchandise, although this would be a complete waste of time since you can get them at your nearby Best Buy, or local retail, for the exact same price without paying the shipping.
