I bought my first pair of these JVC Gumy earphones about 18 months ago, and I haven't bought a different pair since. For the price of £5-10 a pair, depending on where you buy them, these earphones obviously aren't made with amazing sound quality in mind. However, compared to other earphones I've used at around the same price, and in some cases a lot more expensive (£15-20), the sound quality is amazing. I actually prefer them to Apple's iPod headphones!

On top of the great sound, these are incredibly comfortable in the ears. I can have have them in for hours and not feel uncomfortable in the slightest! They're also quite durable. When you buy 'cheap' earphones, you expect them to last what, a few weeks at most before either breaking or losing most of the sound quality? I'm constantly listening to music, or watching videos on my tablet, so earphones I own get a good battering due to walking around with my iPod in my pocket etc. However, these beauties always last me at least 2-3 months - my current set has been going for 4 months now - before the sound deteriorates or the connection is damaged and one or both of the ears stop working. For the price tag, that's pretty amazing if you ask me!

Overall, I'd definitely recommend these to anyone who doesn't mind 'good' sound quality, and doesn't want to fork out £50 for a decent set. I for one will be sticking with these Gumy earphones, the quality is extremely high for the price. JVC all the way!
