JVC HAF160B Gumy Ear Bud Headphone Black

I just purchased my second pair of these incredible earbuds. My last pair was purchased with my first govt. phone and lasted right up unti I accidentally stepped on the right earpiece.There is no microphone. There is no noise cancelling. There IS, however, the clearest, loudest (per your volume setting), most dynamic music sound I have EVER heard from ANY pair of earbuds. I have purchased and returned much higher-end ones because they simply do not compare.If awesome sound (for basically a steal) is what you want, these are the BEST. Buy another cheap pair with a mic to compliment these, if need be. You'll still come out WAY ahead than buying one higher-end pair.

In today's world of disappearing headphone jacks, I still like to keep a few wired earphones around to use in the house (I use my wireless ones when I'm out & about). These JVC Gumy earphones are a great model with pretty good sound quality for the price and I like the variety of colors. I use a USB-C adapter to use it with my newest phone and of course they work great with my slightly older devices that have headphone jacks.

ive been buying jvc earphones for years and theyre a gret buy with really good quality audio

JVC HAF160B Ear Bud's BlackI generally use these while in bed, watching tv. They fit quite well in my ears and stay put even after I fall asleep. I set the timer on the tv and nearly every morning, I wake up with these still in place. That's the one main reason for buying this brand and model. I hook these up to a Sony receiver, next to my bed and get pretty good sound...for about 7-8 months. At this time they generally start to lose volume in one ear or sometimes both. I can correct this by using the balance knob on the receiver and maybe get a few more months out of them before they fail completely. After prolonged use the cables become stiff and unflexable. That's usually when they go in the garbage. If I can get 1 year out of them, I'm happy.

I buy these all the time to listen to podcasts at night on an iPod, they kinda fall apart because I fall asleep with them in my ear, but they are excellent regardless. But this pair is not green like the picture, they’re a teal color, not that it matters, just an fyi.

I normally buy the older, non-bass boost versions of these earbuds, and they've been my go-to for years as it seems most companies have opted for in-ear style buds which I just find very uncomfortable in general. I recently decided to grab the bass boost version since they no longer seem to have the older models in other colors (and the all white earbuds have a habit of getting dirty after awhile).These... are very hard to recommend. The base shape is fine, however the protrusions on these models dig into your ears, making them very uncomfortable to wear for any decent period of time, whereas I can wear the original models for an entire shift with no issue. The additional bass also just... doesn't really feel like it adds anything to the experience.Otherwise, they still sound fine personally. I'm not an audiophile so they served my purposes just fine. I'll likely just revert to buying the older models again or maybe looking for Samsung earbuds as they offer a similar style. If you're fine with all white earbuds, just get the older, non-bass boost Gumy models. They're a couple dollars more expensive, likely due to being end-of-life, but I prefer them in just about every way, and they're still very cheap.

For regular users, these are a great value and alternative to Apple EarPods. Some may not like the lack of bass, and there are potential rattling issue at higher volumes. These last maybe a year or two with regular use.I would recommend them for listening to podcasts in an environment with little noise pollution. Users looking to listen to music may need to look for alternatives.

They work great
