JVC HAFX34B Marshmallow Headphones

Pros: Very comfortable
Cons: some of the worst sounding headphones i ever owned.

Far worse than any headphones you get packed in with mp3 players, these sounded on par with the headphones i bought at WalMart for $1.25. The only difference is these are more comfortable. Zero bass. I dont mean head rattling bass, i mean none what-so-ever. Low sound volume and very tinny sound. Tried to find a pair to replace my Philips SHE5920 Virtual Surround Sound In-Ear Headphones, these failed horribly.

These headphones are great at blocking outside sound (best way to test is on NYC subway platform) and the overall sound quality is very good. But the best part is the price...I got mine for less than $11.

My prior headphones were $100, and I couldn't tell much of a difference between those and these.

These are, by FAR, the best earbuds I have ever owned. Granted, I don't often invest in earbuds, but these should NOT be overlooked when considering new ones.

I use a standard Philips MP3/MP4 player for my music. I previously owned the JVC "Gumi"s, which seemed to get excessively loud when an "ee" sound was played through them. I also had difficulties hearing bass instruments with the "Gumi"s. When I first listened to the same songs on the same device through the Marshmallows, I quickly noticed the amplified bass and lack of fluctuating volume.

These earbuds are very good for listening to a personal audio device in loud environments. The comfortable mini-cushions block out all but a modicum of noise not being put through the earbuds.

I highly recommend these earbuds--especially when considering the low price (currently about $10).

I was disspointed when i received the headphones. Apart from the horrible seller (never buy used headphones), the sound quality was sub-par. I bought these headphones as an improvement of sound quality from my Coby $5 in-ear headphones. I was totally wrong. First of all, all the reviews said that the headphones were one of the best in its class. I went to amazon and found these were a little different in SKU number than the review ones, but they had the same name. I thought that they werent different, but boy do i hope i was wrong. IF and ONLY if you push and press the headphones into your ear canal (which is more comfortable than it sounds) can you hear the sound as being superior. But that goes with practically every headphone (including the $5 Coby ones). I thought that this was because of the tips (the tips NEED to fit your ear) and ive used the same skull cnady tips for 5 headphone cycles. I tested it vigorously thinking that "you get what you payed for" rule applied. I was wrong. To begin with, the voice (20Hz frequency for most songs i think) was terrible and sounded soo 3D that it became incomprehensible. The reverb effect was too sensitive I am guessing. The Bass was not too evident but the instruments were VERY clear. The great instrumental sounds come with a setback. They are louder and more clear, so its even more difficult to listen to what the songs are saying. I like the instruments being in the background while the lyrics and vocals are what your paying attention too. The only good part of these headphones were the great base equalization (not too much, not too little). Other wise, I would NEVER recommend this headphone to anyone, try the skullcandy (have great tips, clarity and base) or the Coby (Clarity is amazing, and with the skullcandy tips, hands down the best in its range)

Purchased these at half the store cost and the seller was very quick to send out. Now for the product, these are by far the worst headphones I have ever had. There is no bass and you have turn the volume way up to get any type of descent level. I will be returning them. I purchased instead at a local store for the same cost a SONY MDRE828LP/SLV, these so far are fantastic for the $10 cost. Good bass and great sound level. Put the JVC to shame.
