"Outstanding Compromise to the Bose Q3's"

by psmilnes on December 7, 2007

Pros: Delivers sound quality and noise reduction comparable to the industry standard Bose Quiet-Comfort Series but at a considerably more reasonable price.

Cons: I'd agree with CNET about the cord but hey, you can always buy a longer one. Besides, I'm only using these for flights so the cord length is fine.

Summary: I was going to purchase the Bose Q-3's until I discovered that they too were manufactured in China. Call me a sentimental fool but I still think that it is important to purchase goods made in the U.S. I then read CNET's review of the JVC's and had... read more >>

"Great fit, very comfy but sound quality is lacking"

by Kev50027 on July 16, 2008

Pros: Included case, very stylish and small, extremely comfortable for long periods, noiaw cancelling works great

Cons: Sound is extremely muffled compared to in-ear headphones or Sony's MDR-V600 over the ear headphones, noise cancelling changes EQ

Summary: I was so hopeful that these would be the headphones I've been looking for, but they are not. They are very small, light, and stylish, and quite comfortable. However, there are some design flaws that keep these headphones from getting a much better... read more >>
