JVC Wired Lightweight Headphones - Black, ‎HA-L50-B-E

I First brought a pair of these headphones about six years ago and still in use , I loved them so much I purposely searched Amazon for the exact same headphones when I decided to buy a second pair so I could leave a set in my bedroom as love listening to music at night. They are very light weight which I love and extremely comfortable to wear both the headband and on the ear, they are also the first headphones I have owned that stay put once on and never slip or move whether walking, sitting or even laying in bed, and maybe because of the form covers they don't make my ears hot either and never become uncomfortable even when worn for a long time . I was a little woried at first that the foam on the ear pads seemed quite thin but time has proven that they are extremely long lasting and can easaliy be replaced when needed as they just slip off and news ones slipped on . Importantly sound quality is brilliant used them with laptop, CD players , Tv , two different phone mp3 players and the sound has always been exceptionally good , I love listening to music and I would even say they inhance the sound and never distorts . I personly don't like " in the ear " ear plugs or headphones and in my mind there are an ideal alternative with being small, neat and very lightweight and although they dont fold down completly flat they do fold down to a size that means they can be easaliy carried in the hand, pocket , case, handbag etc. Bonus is they are also a very low priced set of headphones , low in price high in quality. Transaction went smoothly and they arrived very quickly.

Purchased for my wife who wanted a pair of light weight over ear headphones to use with her phone for general audio odds and ends. They are light weight and she is pleased with them. She said she wished they were slightly tighter on her ears but overall pleased with the build and sound quality. JVC are a good make and I’m sure they will last.

My older wired over ear headphones had earpads which were falling to bits so I chucked them and ordered these. I've just been listening to a Mozart piano concerto with them - excellent quality. Arcade Fire, Rebellion very clear, not that bassy. These JVCs are very low cost and also really tiny. They are now my standard ones to plug into the PC's mini hifi if it's late and my wife's gone to bed. They will also be useful on holiday. I also have some bigger bluetooth headphones but as my Pixel 6 Pro phone lacks an audio jack socket I just ordered a USB-C to stereo audio jack adaptor, so these will be my usual headphones in all sorts of situations, plane, train and on holiday. That's because they are so tiny when folded and so comfortable (on my very big head) in use. They are so small (over my big ears) that I'm not expecting them to keep out exterior sounds that much. But they cost so little for what they deliver!

Bought for elderly mum in hospital. Nice and lightweight with decent length lead. Very simple basic headphones, she seemed very pleased with them.

Having had a recent poor experience with an entry level german made wired set of headphones, which I had purchased to replace my 1980s Sennheiser HD 50 lightweight ones, I decided to go rock bottom and buy the nearest thing to my 1980s phones. Back in the 1980s when the Sony Walkman portable cassette and all it's multibrand imitations came about, lightweight headphones were the norm and you could buy some pretty good ones. Nowadays, trends have changed and all sorts of other headphone styles and types exist. The JVC lightweight headphones from Amazon were a snip at £7 and have reasonable audio quality. Conversely, my HD50s were £35 around 1988, which according to the Bank of England inflation calculator translates to £95, in 2020. So I've no gripe with the £7 JVC price tag. I gave the JVCs to my daughter because her latest headphones had 'failed' (see below). But being foldable and in the hands of a youngster, they have an inherent weakness. The hinge pin can become detached. Each side having a hing pin, which is metal and normally resides comfily in a plastic recess. Metal into plastic is not ideal and over time (7 months) and several dislocations later, this hypermobility has got to a stage where the headphones are no longer viable. That said, you could probably make them last longer were you to treat them well, not lean on them, nor wear them in bed/fall asleep etc. Finally, these have been the first headphones in which the cat has not been interested and this goes to their credit. Our cat has a reputation for cleaning his teeth by chewing cables. He has chewed the internet adsl cable and several sets of headphone leads to oblivion. The old acting adage'never work with children or animals' might well apply to the personal audio world. Some day a manufacturer will take this on board and there will follow a golden age of headphones.

Brilliant headphones for the price,used to be £7 each,not any more.

These headphones are good for what you pay for them. They're not going to be exquisite, and if you expected that from the price you paid, you're a bit silly. The sound is good, you can hear music and dialogue easily through them and they're fairly comfy to wear. They do rub on the ears a bit after a few hours, but it's not terrible - you just have to adjust them every once and while. However, they do fall off quite easily. If you're sitting still, this is no problem, but leaning forward and reaching sideways to grab something will cause them to fall across your face in some shape or form - maybe off your head altogether. They leak sound too. If the music you're listening to has a strong bass, or the volume is above average, be aware everyone around you will be able to hear what you're listening to as well, if the surrounding area is quiet enough. Taking all of that into consideration, these headphones are a good pair to have and I'm glad I bought them. I'm a poor student, so this was perfectly in my price range, and the product is good enough that the (not too troublesome) cons don't bother me overly much. I would recommend.

Comfortable to wear and excellent sound quality. Would recommend.

Ich hatte mir mehrere Kopfhörer gekauft und nach dem "Test" für diesen Entschieden. Gründe: Kabel ist lang genug. Der Klang ist wirklich gut. Ich nutze ihn um Ton vom Notebook zu hören (TV, TEAMS, Youtube usw.) Er sitzt locker auf den Ohren, so dass man trotz Brille keine Druckstellen am Ohr bekommt. Gleichzeitig bekommt man noch alles um einen herum mit. So schaue ich z.B. Fußball am Notebook und trotzdem kann ich mich mit meiner Partnerin unterhalten. Für mich perfekt. Nur die Kennzeichnung "R" / "L" hätte ich mir etwas besser zu "erfühlen" gewünscht. Falls das der Hersteller liest: die Nippel auf der einen Seite außen (wo sie jetzt sitzen) und auf der anderen Seite auf den 90° seitlichen Flächen wäre perfekt gewesen. Die vorhandene Vertiefung für "R" ist für mich nicht deutlich genug zu fühlen. Aber das ist "jammern auf hohem Niveau".

Nice and light.

Bra ljud och kvalitet

Bardzo fajne i ładnie wykonane słuchawki. Idealnie służą pod TV, a osoba, która z nich korzysta (senior 89 lat) jest bardzo zadowolony z jakości dźwięku. Polecam zakup 👍

Whenever I buy earphones that state to be light, they always end up clamping my head like crazy. But this one is perfect, it's small and light with no discomfort at all. Seems like it might be a bit fragile, but so far it's great.
