JVC HAEBR80R Sports Clip Headphones (Red)

Very fond of this product. They stay securely on the ear, easy to handle pause button/Mic, well places on the cord for maintain good sound quality while making calls. My family has used the pause/play button to answer and hang up calls, and to start and stop playback with a variety of android phones and had no problem. The mic part even seems to work with a PS4 controller (although I havent tried to use the play/pause button on it with the PS4 before) The button is easy to reach when you need silence your phone quickly.There was a silver pair I gave to my mother. For Christmas over two years ago, and it lasted quite well, until they went missing. I reccently bought a blue one for myself, and a red and a black for my siblings. As soon as my mother saw them she immediately said "Oh I've been looking for those for months!" And I had to dissapoint her by insisting they were the ones I bought for my brother! In other words, they arent revolutionary sound-wise, but they are dependable, long lasting, comfortable, and do their job. Honestly, my favorite headphones!

My husband and I both always keep a pair of these with us. I really like how they gently hook over your ear instead of having to shove and ear bud in my ear. They stay in place and never fall out which is great for working out or washing dishes or whatever it is you are doing. The microphone works great the sound is excellent and you cant tell that the person using them is on a hands free device. I prefer these to anything blue tooth because I hate having to deal with charging anything else I have enough gadgets as it is. The microphone also comes with a button to answer and hang up calls with so it works great while driving. I have an android phone and when I have google now open on my phone if I double click the microphone button it will recognize voice commands to make a call to mom or whoever. They are pretty sturdy I have had the same pair for over a year now but my husband has broken a few with rough handling but with the price being so affordable we I always keep an extra set on hand for each of us just in case. We have both gotten so used to them we feel lost without them. I hope they keep making this excellent product.

I bought these to replace my Motorola SF200 Sports Headphones. They perform the same functions, and I will use this review as a comparison between the two.Pros:Have an adjustable ear clip to accomodate those with "longer" ears. This is not necessarily an issue for me.The in-ear speakers are not silicone "buds" that you shove into your ear. They are plastic and they are meant to sit outside the ear. I think that because of this they draw more power from the mp3 player and are much louder than the SF200s. Although they are not as comfortable as the silicone buds, they don't pop out of place like the buds do.The microphone/button function the same as the SF200s, with a single button for call answer/pause (1-click), and next/previous track (2-click, 3-click).The microphone picks up audio very well.Cons:The headphones are made of cheap flimsy plastic. This must be where the $7 difference is between this product and the SF200s. I don't know how long they'll last. I've had the SF200s for a year now and have been through many many hours sweat and rain. I don't know if the JVCs will hold up as long, but we'll see.The 3.5mm jack is straight, as opposed to angled. Thus, it sticks out of players much farther than an angled chack, such as that of the SF200. This isn't "bad" in any way, but if I were ever pressed for space near a headphone jack, these most likely won't fit.If you were to ask me if I would prefer the SF200s or the JVCs, I'm not sure which I would choose. Probably the JVCs since they are $7 cheaper, and I really did not like the fit of the SF200s in my ear - the silicone would always come loose and pop out while I was running. Furthermore, fresh ear wax would build up inside of the buds, and the JVCs don't have that problem. However, the SF200s are entirelly cased in flexible silicone/rubber material (even the wire), so there is no worry of something cracking or breaking. I only replaced them because they got a little too wet one day and the button signal would send to the player at random times, pausing my music or skipping to the next/previous track uncontrollably. If the SF200s would switch from the silicone earbuds towards the plasic ones that won't pop out, then I would definitely switch back.

Overall, these aren't terrible, but they aren't so good either.The adjustable clip is so loose and moves back and forth with gravity. It SHOULD be clicking into different positions and staying in that position until moved with a bit more intentional pressure. Even so, the fact that it's loose isn't as bad as the fact that the clip is in line with the earbud, meaning that it doesn't secure to the ear very well. As I try to put the clip around my ear and then push the earbud in, the clip slips off my ear. If I try to put the earbud in my ear first, putting the clip around my ear makes the earbud fall out.My last gripe is that the size of the earbud is too big for my ear, but that's more of a me problem. I have small ears.The sound quality is fine though, the button works, and overall it's certainly usable. The quality of the product is just not worth the price in my opinion. This thing is cheap.

Love these headphones! Snug fit, doesn't fall off, no batteries needed, and sound quality is great. JVC, please never stop manufacturing these headphones as a good set of wired headphones are still needed in today's age of everything being wireless.
