JVC, Good for me!!!

Advantages: can listen to your favourite tunes without waking the town
Disadvantages: Long jack lead gets tangled easily

...Imagine the scene. Its late at night, the lights are down, the kids are asleep and I want to play Star Wars Battlefront II but don't want to wake everyone up. So I plug in my headphones which happen to be JVC HA-D424 into the headphone socket on the television. I place the headphones around my ears and turn on the game. BOOM, I'm instantly taken to another dimension. The lasers are no longer on the television, there in the room. Everything thats going on around me is forgotten and I am a clonetrooper trying to reach the next command post. I feel something hit me on the shoulder. I Jump, have I just been shot. No its my girlfriend standing there. I take of the headphones and she says fancy a cuppa coffee. slowly my heart rate returns to normal. Yes please I say. Well hopefully this will help you realise that these headphones are really...

Review of JVC HA-D 424

jvc headphones (blue)

Advantages: clear sound, retractable cord
Disadvantages: a bit too heavy

...the sound from my previous pair and this one. TECHNICAL DETAILS Frequency response 12Hz - 24000Hz Nominal impedance 32ohms Sensitivity 102dB/1 mW AFTER A WHILE Just thought I'll update you, the little bit of rubber by the pluc that I've shown on the attached picture is starting to break (after 3month), I'll see how long it will last. And by the way the chord gets tangled all the time and manages to tie itself in nots. Really annoying, I have to spend 5 minutes just to untangle it every time. So I have changed the durability and overall rating FINALLY I would probably buy a different design next time. These headphones are ok but not perfect. I find them too heavy on the ears. If you like the design and the ear hook style they are the best you can get in the shops for the price. This is the website of JVC, where all their...

Music for Sport?

Advantages: adequate sound
Disadvantages: dont fit my ears too well

...One of the annoying things about having to run is the sheer boredom of it, in my case it tends to hit around the 2 mile mark and results in no motivation or interest in carrying on. So the solution is to run with some kind of music player, I have an oddly large collection of mp3 players for someone who has never really seen the point of them but all those players came with traditional style ear phones, which sit in the outer area of the ear, but these do not stay put very well even when simply walking so biting the bullet I decided to buy a set of either earbuds or over ear style earphones in the hope that they would sit more comfortably. Not wanting to spend alot of money on earphones (well I use cheap mp3's so not much likeilhood of sound quality being an issue) I wandered in to my local supermarket and picked up a set of these JVC...

JVC - Pure Sound To Me

Advantages: Good Quality and reproduction.
Disadvantages: None

...If you've read some of my reviews you should realize by now I love classical music. There's nothing I like better than to hear my music loud and strong. Unfortunately I live in a flat surrounded by elderly ladies who have all taken to their beds by 8pm. The answer- I put on my headphones and stay up till about 2am. I didn't want to spend a fortune when I looked around for my choice. At the same time I didn't want to buy something that would result in me thinking I was inside a baked bean tin. I opted for some reasonably priced headphones with a good brand name. There were quite a few on offer and I was quite surprised. The great pity is that they are always in a sealed pack which means you have no idea how comfortable they are and that is one of the key features. I have the large corded JVC HA-G101 headphones, I call...

There's life in the old iPod yet!

Advantages: They're pink and cheap - what more could you want?
Disadvantages: Get tangled easily, won't last forever

...pottered into town, and whilst in Woolie's non-Winter Wonderland, hubby noticed the JVC HA-F130-PE - GUMY In-Ear Headphone with Colour Cord on sale for £6.99, so saving £1.01 I parted with my hard-earned (lol) cash! Using the Earphones It was my first day back at work after holiday and I was eager to listen to my new Coldplay album. Having charged my IPod for ages (it has got quite temperamental with age) I sat on the train and plugged the earphones (or in-ear headphones as JVC seem to call them - personally I think earphones explains it pretty succinctly) in, they don't quite fit perfectly as iPod earphones do, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Oh my Mother Moose, I was blown away by how loud it all was! Having been used to my iPod on full volume I realised that this was actually going to be far too painful with my new...

Mattygroves and her improbably loose earphones

Advantages: Good brand, decent sound (but see below), inexpensive
Disadvantages: They don't fit my ears, the memory foam forgets

...It is, apparently, a bad idea to wrap your headphone cord around your iPod or mp3 player. I do it anyway, for lack of any better ideas to keep the cord from becoming a tangled mess in my pocket. As a result, I go through earphones like nobody's business (apparently, wrapping the cord damages it). I recently purchased from Tesco a pair of black JVC in ear earphones, as my last pair of Panasonics were by now only broadcasting from one ear (mostly). I paid £12.99 for these. Irritatingly, you can't try out in ear earphones before you buy. This is a shame. We all hope our earphones will deliver decent sound - how decent we expect is no doubt related to how much we've paid, and how sensitive we are to stereo fidelity. I have an iPod 30gb Video. I listen to folk, rock and classical by and large, and I'm not a stereo sound...

Sound Idea

Advantages: High quality lasting design
Disadvantages: Sound may distort if you have no bass or treble options

...I don't know about you, but I frequently buy a portable musical device only to find that with the supplied headphones it never achieves a level I'm happy with. Its as if they are trying to protect our ears. My LG mobile phones enclosed headphones first seemed fine, but then I soon realised when wearing them out and about I could hear almost every noise outside of my music zone. That was when I purchased these JVC headphones, the packaging offered dynamic phones. Better still they are inner ear headphones meaning I don't end up looking like I'm auditioning to be the next Doctor Who bad guy. The headphones come with a pretty solid plastic case which you can wind them back into when your not using them. Me being a slacker though I never tend to do that and just stuff the headphones in my coat pocket. The upside to this is that normal...

Review of JVC HA-E 93

JVC - better features and durable but worth paying for the name?

Advantages: Many features; Rechargeable, 100m range, Voice call function
Disadvantages: Compatible cordless speakers are expensive, you may also get sweaty ears from wearing them so much!!

..., because you don't always want to be cutting yourself off with the real world with headphones. Nearly all brands of cordless headphones and speakers broadcast on this same frequency (863Mhz), so you can buy additional headsets in any brand (Sony, Goodmans, Phillips etc), but additional speakers are costly (I've seen them for £80), and they gobble up batteries. Also JVC didn't make any last time I investigated. So, to answer my question, is it worth paying for the name? Well yes, especially when they are so comfy, comparatively cheap and you get all those added functions. - Nice one JVC!!!...

Utilitarian case by JVC

Advantages: light, spacious, handy, good material
Disadvantages: no velcro compartments

... JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder also known as "reporter bag" INTRO With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with a 97p tag on it. I asked the assistant if it was indeed 97p and so it was... I imediately bought it. I later found out that the price of this bag usually varies between £10-£15, currently on amazon is around £13 so I can consider myself quite lucky and happy of the amazing deal. OVERVIEW So let's see some details, first of all the size: approximately 17 x 11 x 10cm. The material...

Review of JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder

"In which a-ha show the kids how to do electropop."

Advantages: It's an excellent album
Disadvantages: a-ha should be better than excellent

...I may be first to review this new album by my beloved "Norwegian pop legends" a-ha on Ciao (and rightly so, heh-- see my "epic" earlier a-ha reviews) but it's got a fair old bit of coverage in the UK media for its release this week. The general reception seems to have been very good, apparently someone on Radio 2 made it Album of the Week or something, and the release was mentioned in the BBC's 6Music News podcast. Which was the first and only time I'll probably ever listen to one. I bought this off amazon.co.uk for £8.98, with free next day shipping because I took the Amazon Prime trial. As usual for a new album I'm reviewing each track as I listen to it for the first time. So I'm going to get on with it because I can't wait to hear it.... 1. The Bandstand Don't wait up for us... The album opens with pleasingly retro synth...
