JVC Wireless Bluetooth Foldable Deep Bass On Ear Lightweight HA-S31BT Headphones, Black

Product Information

I’m happy with these on-ear headphones given the price. I like a balanced sound, so I’m surprised I prefer to leave Bass Boost on. I like the swivel fold flat design and the ear cups are soft and comfortable. They are lightweight but there is no padding on the adjustable headband. I can wear them for 3-4 hours before the top of my head begins to hurt. They fit snug on my narrow head so people with large heads might find them tight. Specs aside, these sound great, specially at the value they offer. The sound is very clear, detailed and neutral. The extra bass settings provides additional body, but not overwhelming, working well on different types of music.

It's all relative, right? Sure, you can spend WAY more on BT headphones with flashier style, more features, greater brand-name recognition (though for you young 'uns in the crowd, JVC was once-upon-a-time a true titan in the word of consumer electronics), ultra-premium construction, etc. etc. etc. But for what they ARE--solid performing, no-frills, Bluetooth headphones--you really can't ask for more than what these JVC's deliver, and you might even be surprised by what they bring to the fight. And here are the most important product specifications of the cable versionJVC HA-S31M-A: JVC HA-S31M specifications First: By “remote control” JVC is actually is referring to the on-headphone controls. Was I the only one to not know that? The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless do avoid the issues that should turn you off a pair completely, though. Bass quality may not be impressive, but neither is it boomy or ultra-dominant. And the treble isn’t at all sibilant or harsh.The HA S35BT uses Bluetooth 4.1 with a 33-foot (10 m) range and will pair with 8 devices. When paired with a 9th device it will forget the oldest (1st) device. I’m impressed with the real-world range of these headphones. I can stray quite far from the device before the audio begins to stutter. On the specs side, it's Bluetooth 4.1 and SBC codec. The downside is that doesn't support more advanced audio codec like Apt-X or AAC.

For the price, the JVCs are very nicely made, with soft and comfortable earpieces, very accessible and common-sense controls, and a lighter than typical overall weight. “Clamping” around your head is very slight, but still fairly stable for those walking around the office. The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless are petite on-ear headphones. Their cups barely cover your ears, making them far lower-key than models such as the AKG Y50BT. It charges with Micro-USB (Cable included). Note that there is no analog input and doesn't work while being charged. This is a smooth sound that doesn’t tire you out. You can listen for lengthy stretches of time. The full range of sounds is nicely balanced, but that upper frequency shimmer you hear on the best headphones and the solid, thunderous bass, at the lowest frequencies is not here. I would also suggest not over pushing the volume when lots of bass is present. The headphone volume seems able to overpower their own drivers and sound stressed out, with some distortion becoming apparent. But, I do think you get what you pay for. This is a friendly headphone set that is also quite reliable in its operation. Music sounds natural with no over-emphasis, except maybe for bass, but, only if you want it. I really liked the bass without the emphasis, but I usually do. Comfort is another standout feature of these headphones. The on-ear design provides a snug fit without causing discomfort, even during extended listening sessions. The ear cushions are soft and plush, creating a cozy environment that enhances the overall enjoyment of the audio.

JVC HA-S30BT-B-E Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review: Quality – 96%

SETUP: Instructions. There are actually words and pictures, but I have to wonder if the instruction’s writer used the headphones before he signed off on the provided insert. Woefully inadequate. Other than that complaint, I found that using the array of controls on the earphone edge was far easier than other headphones I’ve used. The control layout is easy to master and the buttons work reliably. The headband is on the rigid side with no padding. Regardless it feels comfortable, and the headphones fold flat. First and foremost, the sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. The powerful audio output delivers a rich and immersive listening experience. Whether I'm enjoying my favorite music genres, watching movies, or playing games, the precision and depth of the sound make every moment more enjoyable. On the lower end of the three buttons is the power button with an easy to feel raised “dash” in the center. Easy to reach with your thumb. This button also serves as the Bass Boost toggle and Bluetooth control. While on and connected a short press of this button will toggle Bass Boost, double tone = On and single tone = Off. We went to the tech store the other day and we were surprised to see that there are literally hundreds of new stereo headphones for sale. And the variety of brands and types is so big... wired, wireless, earbuds, closed-type and many more.
