JVC Basic Gumy Earbuds Blue, Model Number: HA-F160-A, 3

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.

Best 'Old School' ear buds. Way more comfortable than those ones with the rubber tips.

So, let me start off by saying I love this brand. I've been buying Gumy headphones for probably eight years now, and they are one of the few that work perfectly, are comfy, and don't awkwardly go all the way into your ears.BUT the ones I purchased here from amazon really didn't work. I was excited that they were a little cheaper than the ones I usually get at the store, but when received them I quickly found out that they didn't work very well. They were doing that thing where if you touch the end where they plug into your phone at, all one side stops working, or they get quieter. I called amazon and they sent me a replacement and the same thing happened to the second pair.But as I said, I've been using this company for years, and this is the first time this has ever happened to me with one of their headphones. And that includes two separate pairs that went through the washer AND drier, one of which went through three times (I know, I really need to keep better track of my things.) So, I went with three stars because I totally recommend the product, I just don't recommend buying them on here, or at least through this seller.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Has a wonderful sound.

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.
