JVC FX 33 Marshmallow

Right needed some new earphones and decided to go all modern and get a pair of in-ear (ones that go in your ear canal) earphones. I was a bit apprehensive as they don't look that comfortable/hygenic. Anyway, saw these for £14.99 in Currys, "bargain" I thought. 1.Packaging Off on a bad foot with me. Its packaged in that really annoying "needs-scissors" plastic. And with me being on a train at the time, lets just say I had a "little" difficulty trying ...
...train-goers slightly pissed off with my consatnt squeeks and tearing. 2. Contents Right, once you open the bloody packaging you will see that you have a pair of earphones, a pair of spare ear-plugs (standard size), instructions and a warranty.

£7.99 from local supermarket - looks good and feels comfortable...BUT....thats is all I can say about them. Sound quality is appalling, very tinny with almost non existant bass response.
