Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

My older wired over ear headphones had earpads which were falling to bits so I chucked them and ordered these. I've just been listening to a Mozart piano concerto with them - excellent quality. Arcade Fire, Rebellion very clear, not that bassy. These JVCs are very low cost and also really tiny. They are now my standard ones to plug into the PC's mini hifi if it's late and my wife's gone to bed. They will also be useful on holiday. I also have some bigger bluetooth headphones but as my Pixel 6 Pro phone lacks an audio jack socket I just ordered a USB-C to stereo audio jack adaptor, so these will be my usual headphones in all sorts of situations, plane, train and on holiday. That's because they are so tiny when folded and so comfortable (on my very big head) in use. They are so small (over my big ears) that I'm not expecting them to keep out exterior sounds that much. But they cost so little for what they deliver!

Sort of cheap and plasticky, but for 8 quid what do you expect? Yes they rattle if you shake them, but when worn they are so light. Could do with a bit more foam on the earpads, other than that the music quality is fine. I am no connoisseur of quality, but sound fine on my minidisc - retro eh? Cheap, fold up and fit in the pocket, sound reasonable as well, enjoy 😉
Impressed. They are adjustable and comfortable to wear. No sound escapes to the surrounding environment. The stereo is good. The sound is clear. I bought these two months ago and they are still working fine. Even if they only last a year or so, they are so low price they can easily be replaced and the old ones recycled.
Bought for work audio typing at hospital. Work set were so uncomfortable, these are great. Very comfy & good sound quality. I wear for 8 hours a day. Very good price & quality.
Fair enough, these are sold as 'light-weight', and they certainly are. The drawback is that they are so light that there is no real tension in the headband... and therefore no pressure of the ear-pieces against the ears. The result is no seal, and very little bass. If you artificially hold the headphones against your ears you can hear the bass; it is there, just lost by the loose fit. The plus points are that the headphones are very comfortable, with such minimal weight and no pressure on the head; particularly welcome in hot weather. Also the lead is a generous 1.5m. At the very modest price they are good enough for my purpose and I will be keeping them.
Bought these to use on holiday. They were just what i wanted. Not bulky, folded up and was easy to carry about. The sound was good and hopefully they will last me for a few more holidays
De todos los auriculares (de Diadema que he probado, estos auriculares JVC, son los más cómodos, de llevar, no aprietan la orejas, como otros, parece como si no llevarás nada puesto, son súper cómodos y tienen un sonido espectacular, Si quieres un diseño, que no moleste y buen sonido, estos, son los, mejores, he probado con 8 Cascos/Auriculares, distintos, por mi deficiencia auditiva y justo estos son los mejores. La única pega que he observado, es que no sirven para caminar, se caen fácilmente, pues la presión a las orejas es muy débil y se caen con facilidad, si el fabricante le diera algo de más presión sobre las orejas. Con más presión sería una maravilla de auriculares. Los recomiendo cien x cien.
Bardzo fajne i ładnie wykonane słuchawki. Idealnie służą pod TV, a osoba, która z nich korzysta (senior 89 lat) jest bardzo zadowolony z jakości dźwięku. Polecam zakup 👍
