JVC HA-EBX85 Headphones

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

nbsp ; Excellent sound quality ; Adjustable ; Can withstand multiple drops ; Water-resistant ; Light weight and wraps up tightly for easy portability

nbsp ; Didn’t take much force to remove the headphones during our force test ; Consumer testers didn’t find them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time ; Didn’t always stay put during use for our consumer testers

Exellent headphones, great price.

I just got these today and went out for a run already. These sound absolutely incredible. Now that I got these I know I shouldn't have wasted money on Beats solos. These are great for casual listeners and people who want to wear them for physical...

Jvc heabx85z inner ear sports clip headphone

I love my new headphone. I'm a runner and have tried my different brands that would not stay in my ears. The sound is powerful and never need to adjust the headset. Highly recommend them. Not to mention the price is not expensive like others. I have...

Good Headphone

Recent purchase. Wanted to replace a few headphones that both fall out of the ear (non-earbud type) or sounded horrible. These fit comfortably and the earbud seals tight for great sound. I use them when doing yardwork and they sound good.

Hands down the best sports headphone I've used

The sound quality is quite amazing for the price of these headphones. It comes with three sizes of earpieces. I recommend using the largest which reduces external wind noise and improves bass tones.

Good enough

You get what you pat for, you can find similar headphones for only 5$, or 120$. This one is medium.

disappointment :(

I was expecting something better than this since it was JVC. However, as some reviewers mentioned it does not have any bass ... the sound is very clean BUT it also sounds like chipmunks squeaking in your ear :)

I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased

I just opened the package and plugged them in. Initial impression is, wow these feel really great. Then I turned the music on. Wow these sound really terrible. I mean bad. As in, the tinnitus in my ear from years of rock music is more pleasing than...
