    "Thou gettest what thou payest for..." on by urr_quasdim

    Pros: noise cancelling effective, fits nicely in ear, unit small and light

    Cons: sounds like you are in a cave: booming bass and practically non-existent trebble

    Summary: Ear buds usually suffer from insufficient bass output. Not these: here you get a cavernous, booming bass with next to no high frequency output. Even boosting highs and un-boosting lows with a user-controlled equalizer doesn't do much; the trebble is still paper thin. Shame, because the noise-cancellation does work quite well, I can tell a substantial difference in road racket with and without the unit activated. Alas, sound quality is sub-par. I guess maybe that is the reason for the relatively low price.

    Since the original opinion I've tested this product with the iPod Nano (2G). When setting equalization to "Treble Booster" the sound was better than with any manual EQ I tried, using other players. The treble is still somewhat subdued but decent enough. I am sure the same will hold true using the iPod 5G. Thus I "upgrade" my previous rating from 4 to 6.

    Since my original Opinion I tried this product with a 2G iPod Nano. When setting equalization to "Treble Booster" I experienced improved treble - considerably better than with all the manual EQ settings I experimented with, using a variety of players. I am sure this "discovery" also holds true for the 5G iPod (and, perhaps, for other players). The high frequency is still a bit "thin" but acceptable even for long listening. I therefore "upgrade" my original rating from 4 to 6.

    "Not to bad" on by zawiszaskiresort

    Pros: works well

    Cons: the not QC3s!!!!!!

    Summary: had to play around with the different rubgber ear buds to find the one that fit my ear the best. After that they worked like a charm. Hate having to carry the big black box around but its not to bad

    "No discernible noice cancelling" on by flykrs1

    Pros: Good sound quality, comfortable earbuds

    Cons: Active noise cancelling useless

    Summary: Obviously the reviewer never tried these on an airplane. The United Airlines provided noise cancelling earphones clearly cut background noise, these did nothing. Other than the sound isolating properties of the earbuds, there was no difference in sound whether the noise cancelling was on or off. I would rate them higher if they were not billed as active noise cancelling earbuds.

    "Comfy but no noise cancellation" on by w30dys

    Pros: Comfortable

    Cons: Don't cancel noise!

    Summary: As others have observed, I too was left wondering if I'd purchased a duff set! Ear plugs fit comfortably and snug. By virtue of having them in your ears a lot of noise is cut out. However, with no music playing the difference between having the noise cancellation on and off is virtually indistinguishable. If anything there is more white noise when turned on than off! I only paid $12 for them as they were in the bargain bin where, I should have left them! Disappointing from JVC frankly.

    "Great Sound Quality, Adequate Noise Cancellation." on by burgsprinta

    Pros: These little earbuds sound surprisingly good, with great bass and highs. Since these were discontinued you can find them for a great price. The noise cancellation is great, even the passive cancellation is pretty good.

    Cons: The ear bud tips that the unit came with were terrible. After switching to Sony replacement tips, I got a much better fit, better noise cancellation, and better bass. Definitely worth the $5 or i paid for the Sony tips.

    Summary: Great product for a great price, Excellent sound, good noise cancellation. If you get these, I would definitely recommend replacing the included tips with better ones. I gave them 4.5 instead of 5 stars because of this reason.
