Digital camera reviews of JVC HAFX66B Air Cushion Headphones (Black)Digital camera Review: Air Cushion: Best in-ear headphone design Summary: 5 Stars
First off, these in-ear buds sounds great for the price range. I have done head to head tests vs. the sony's, v-moda's, etc. These sounds great, decent lows, clear mids, and very nice highs. They aren't perfectly flat reference buds, obviously, you will need to spend a lot more for that.
However the biggest reason I love these buds is the air cushion design. For those who use in-ear buds for everyday use will have noticed a few things: cable noise from the cable brushing around, and stress on your ear from the weight of the cable. The typical way to address this is to loop the cable behind your neck or over the ear.
What JVC has done here is improve the design so you don't have to do any awkward mitigation to avoid these inherent problems. The cable noise is isolated thanks to the cushion support, as the vibrations don't go into your ear canal. The weight of the cable is also now applied to your ear instead of the ear canal, which is much more comfortable.
This is the reason I use these every day instead of a high quality pair of shure's or etymotics. If you are using them sitting at your desk, no big deal, but if you are walking/running around all the time, these are the best you will find at a very nice price.
Aside from that, I like the little cable slider thing, to prevent tangling when you toss this in your pocket or just throw them on the desk.
The cable is somewhat short. I'm 6'1 and it reaches to my pants pocket without any problem but if I am wearing a jacket I have to move my player to my jacket pocket. I like the cable length, but admit it is short for many purposes.
The rubbers are standard issue. Exact same you'll find with any pair of sony's or other low-cost buds. They do fall off, and you will lose them occasionally.
Side note: the 3.5mm jack is straight and skinny so it DOES fit the old iphone without an adapter.
