Im sure alot reading this review will have an Ipod or some kind of mp3 player. Since I got my Ipod 1 and half year ago I have went through roughly four pairs of earphones including the standard white Ipod one's to some expensive fancy ones costing a whopping £35!!!! all have broke within months for various reasons, sound fading, wire around connection fraying, and most annoyingly when one earphone stops working

I was fed up of paying £15 for a set of earphones that turn out to only last a few months so i looked for a budget pair. I stumbled across these JVC ones at my local asda for only £4.99 a fraction of the cost of previous purchases. I noticed firstly the array of vivid colours, orange obviously, purple, blue and green were available where I was but im assuming there could be more.

The earphones slip straight in ready to go and they look very good and sound even better. The sound is far superior to the standard issued Ipod earpieces and on a par with the higher end priced ones so for that reason they are a good buy.

Apart from looking good and sounding good the real test for an earphone now for me is its durability after heavy constant use. Iv now owned and used these earphones for well over 4 months now and the quality of the whole product is Identical to the quality when I originally bought them last year which for me is a big bonus. The main problem in the past seemed to be the join where the earphones wire meets the device (ipod etc) bending and eventually ruining the sound or cutting it off altogether. With these the connection is very solid and durable and has to this day showed no sign of breaking yet fingers crossed.

overall though its a simple piece of equipment un fancy other than its extravagant colour and it does its job and has so far out performed and out lasted its often pricey predecessors :)
