Don't last

I purchased a pair of these at a nice discount and liked them so much I purchased three more just to have on hand. After a few weeks the first pair started losing volume in the right ear. It wasn't a total loss like you would get with a broken wire, it...

Best Headphones Ever

This was actually the second pair of JVC HAFXC50B Micro HD Inner Ear Headphones I have purchased. I had come across an article in an audiophile magazine (don't remember which one) in which the author raved on these headphones. He/she stated that these...

Consumer review by: Xray_man69 (newegg.com)

I have 2 pair and love them!

This is my second pair of these "ear buds". Other ear buds are too big for my hole (i said hole) or they fall out if I yawn or chew gum. The wing outside of the bud catches on your ear. So you insert it with the wing at a 45 degree angle and then...

Soft and they stay put

Expensive unless you find a coupon code being a newegg email subscriber

At this price, a real gem

Only bought these with a coupon that reduced them to $7 shipped, which is pretty fantastic. I wasn't happy with the OEM tips, but stuck on a pair of Comply foamies, which cost $4 a pair (tips as much as the phones) and that brought them to life....

Fit is a little odd, but with the foamies, not too bad. Some microphonics too, so could use a shirt clip

Sound good than many

My favorite always be CX250 but I would pick these up occasionally to get the difference sounds from my already favorite musics.

Sounds good than expected at the price of $40. For the price that I got, it's a steal. You could hear more sounds more instruments than many in its price range. Bass is deep, really deep almost bloat but clean. Mid is reasonably clear but Hi is very...

Sound harsh, almost dirty and the bass cracks on high volume. It is acquire taste, unlike the delicious Sennheiser CX300, and not as clear and bright like CX250 either. The mid-size ear-plugs are too small to be mid-size. It is a pain to find the plugs...

inconsistency in quality

i bought 2 of these and 1 pair is very clear and detail in sound, but the other pair i got is bass heavy, muddy, no depth. now that the good pair i got, its left earbud is always dead at first, but if up the volume loud would bring it back to life. ...

It is light and comfortable. sounds very detailed and clearity is good. that's when you got the good pair

1. inconsistency in sound quality with the 2 pairs i got ; 2. questionable build quality

Terrible Sound Quality

Terrible Sound Quality! No Bass, Harsh Tremble. I would said it could not compare an open-air earphone in dollar store. Although usually open-air earphone is better than an earbud because of size. No recommend to anyone. Surprised JVC produce such...

Product Specifications

The HA-FXC50 provides excellent sound and superior sound isolation by employing an innovative MICRO-HD driver unit, loaded into the tip of the headphone housing. Different from conventional in-ear headphones, this allows the driver unit to stay in the ear canal, delivering high-definition sound directly into the ear without diffused reflection. The silicon earpieces are both comfortable and practical, fitting securely in the ear while minimizing sound leakage at the same time. The earpieces come in three sizes to ensure a customized fit, and the headphones come with soft rubber cushions designed for hours of comfort for any wearer.
