Summary: Great value!
Comment: After wasting my money on a pair of "I-pod look-alike" headphones that sounded like a tin can, I stopped caring about having headphones that matched my I-pod and bought a pair of pink JVC Gumys.
I figured that for $10 it's not much of a loss if they aren't very good, and couldn't imagine them being worse than the ones I'd just bought (which cost more than this) but I ended up being VERY pleasantly surprised! Their soft exterior makes them more comfortable than my original (and replacement) I-pod headphones and there are no annoying foam covers to fall off and lose.
But on to what really matters - the sound! They sound great! I really think they sound better than my original I-pod headphones. They have a very clear tone and are much louder than the other headphones I've tried (I don't turn them up very loud, maybe 1/4 of the way, and it's plenty loud enough.) I'm sure if you spent alot more you could find headphones with more bass or outside noise reduction, but for a normal I-pod user this are MORE than sufficient! And you can't beat the price!! I highly recommend these headphones.

Summary: I love these things!!!
Comment: First, one thing about me. I am extremely picky about sound. If I'm going to listen to something, I like it loud and clear. I have a rather expensive sound system both in my home and in my vehicle. If I can't hear it the way I want to hear it, then I won't listen to it at all.
So anyway, I noticed the original earbuds that came with my Ipod Video were starting to decrease in sound quality, which is very common. The right earbud adopted a vibration problem and they weren't as loud as I remember them being a few months ago.
Of course, hearing that vibration was making me crazy so I took a trip to Best Buy to see what they had. These earbuds weren't the best they had, but they were definately the cutest and the Pink really tickled my fancy. Before purchasing I made sure they could be returned if the quality wasn't what I expected. To be honest, I expected to be back the next day returning them.
Obviously that didn't happen. These things really blew me away and for $9.99 that surprised the heck outta me. Let me talk about what I like about them:
First, the color is awesome. They match perfectly with the pink silicone I have on my Ipod and I imagine the other colors will match nicely too.
Next is comfort, which I imagine is highly important to a lot of people. I'm rather new to the earbud scene and the reason is I have NEVER liked earbuds. Either they don't stay in my ears (since my ears are small and they never fit like they should) or they really hurt after extended periods of listening time. So all my life I have tried very hard to avoid having to use them.
However, that was until I got me a pair of these. The soft rubber makes a HUGE difference compared to the hard plastic Apple earbuds. They don't hurt my ears at all and for the most part they stay right in my ears. I haven't quite grasped how exactly earbuds are supposed to go in your ears. After months of use I realized R and L must correspond correctly for them to stay in. They are shaped a certain way so you can't put R in your left ear or they will hurt and sound like crap. This is very evident with these earbuds, but not so much with the Apple earbuds.
Now comes Sound. Nothing less then excellent. They even surpass the Apple earbuds when those were new. They handle bass extremely well and distortion is very minimal at high volumes.
And boy, do these things get loud. I never quite understood why there was such a big issue with Ipod volume and hearing loss. My original earbuds never went *that* loud. Well, now I know what the big stink is about. But now I can at least drown out the loud music in the gym with my new earbuds ;)
To be honest, I have never known JVC to be so capable of making good audio mediums. Sure, they make CD players and whatnot, but I have never found their quality to be on par with Sony, Aiwa, or even JBL. I have been a Sony girl my entire life so these earbuds come as a huge surprise to me.
I seem to be digressing a lot in this review. Sorry 'bout that.
Anyway, there are a few more things I would like to mention...
On the outside of each earbud there is a small hole. When this hole is covered up, the sound changes dramatically from Stereo to what seems like Monologue. I found that to be interesting.
And like most earbud sets, the cord gets tangled every so often and there is no small plastic slider like the Apple earbuds have. It's not an important issue to me but still worth mentioning.
Overall, these earbuds are fantastic and I plan on purchasing all 5 colors as I have a funny feeling these might be discontinued. I can't see these breaking anytime soon since they are very, very well-made. Definately a good investment. And even if something does happen, I would be more than happy to purchase a set once every other month as long as the quality stays consistent.

Summary: Great Product For A Great Price JVC Gummy EarBud Headphones
Comment: I recently had the unplanned opportunity this Christmas to compare the JVC Gummy earbud headphones against the Sony version and the Memorex version of this product. So the scientist in me and my 2 daughters tried all three on an ipod nano. It was amazing the difference between the products. The bass is considerably clearer on the JVC product. The volume is much louder ( so you don't have to raise the volume as high and subsequently also raising the hiss and other noise of the particular player you're using). The vocals and cymbals were equally crisp. All this for a mere $8.99 plus S&H online or $14.99 in Walmart. The only drawback that we could find is that the earbuds are inherently uncomfortable for some of us after about an hour as compared to the in-the-ear type. Overall a thumbs up for the JVC Gumy Earbud headphones. Cheers...Les

Summary: Ugh! Do not buy these earphones!
Comment: I just went through my second pair of these. I bought the first pair in February, and they died on me a couple of months ago. Then i bought another pair. After 1-2 months, I find that I am getting shocked by them!! I do not abuse my headphones; I use them at work in my cube so they don't move around a lot, so I'm not sure why they are shocking me. They're too inexpensive to bother sending back.
