JVC HA F130B Gumy Headphones

As a musician I own quite a few semi-professional headphones and in-earphones for different applications and in the last year or so I've made some surprising purchases that haven't been too expensive. Today however my iPod headphones (Sony ones) decided enough was enough and after fiddling with the cord from left to right, sometimes I'd get stereo and sometimes I'd not. I guess it was time to buy a new set of in-ear headphones... At 8am however the kinds of retailers I want to shop at are never open and either being compromised to buy cheap brands I've never heard of, I was more or less pushed to purchase the "Gumy" series by JVC. Why they are ...  Read the complete review

I bought a pair of the JVC Gummy headphones from Amazon a few months ago, and I have to say I'm very impressed. Being a true metal head, my headphones usually take a battering and don't last more than a month. But I was recommended these by a friend, and decided to give them a try, because they came in a range of different colours (one to match every outfit). I was also very pleased with the price as they cost less than £5, including postage and packing. The only thing I can really complain about is that the noise crackles slightly when you're listening to really heavy chords, which forced me to turn the sound down, but it's hard to find ...  Read the complete review

After a brief search for a reasonable pair of earphones I bought these JVC Gumys. Basically they were a good price between the cheap and nasty kind and well below the expensive block the outside world out noise cancelling type. I use them for non music/DVD activities on my laptop and also with my ipod on the buses and on flights. I've fallen asleep with them in before and rolled over pulling them out, I've sat/slept on them, caught them a few times on my clothes... These are things which have brought an untimely demise to previous earphones, not so with the Gumy's (yet). Having used them for about a year now I'm pleased with how well they've ...  Read the complete review

I have used these headphones for a few years now and I think they're great. They're colourful, comfortable to wear and they're very durable. I'm the sort of person who doesn't always treat their electronics particularly well, and on more than one occasion I've caught my mp3 player by the earphones. The only thing between my mp3 player and destruction is these things, and they hold up well. These earphones are comfortable enough to wear for long periods for time, like travelling on a coach or train. They give a reasonable quality of sound for the price paid. And the quality doesn't diminish with time either. I've had my current pair for over a year now, and ...  Read the complete review

Before I got my nice pair of on-ear headphones, I was a loyal user of JVC Gumys. These can cost anywhere from £5 to £9, but the quality is not forfeited as a result of the relatively cheap price point. These are not going to cut it if you want the best quality, high tech portable sound from your iPod or MP3 player but for the average person who wants some reasonably priced earphones that are nice and comfortable and doesn't want completely horrible sound (looking from the average music listeners points of view) then these are the earphones for you. This brings me onto the next point - these earphones are really comfy in your ears! Of course, any ...  Read the complete review
