It also features a 24-Karat, gold-plated minijack (.128-inch) plug configured in a cord-saving "L" shape. The headphones come with a generous 4.9-foot cord and a handy travel pouch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent head phones for the money, November 24, 2004

JVC in my opinion is one of the best .. but most under-rated companies. When I bought this headphone I really liked it .. but being a brand-name freak .. somehow wanted to convince myself that they are indeed so good. So I got a little more expensive sony and same priced panasonic headphones from the local circuitcity, ... heard same songs from each headphone .. again and again ... Bugged my wife until she (unwillingly) agreed to become a subject of my experiment.

Conclusion: Great sound .. better than more expensive Sony. Definitely better than panasonic (well, don't remember the exact model numbers .. but their prices were higher than JVC). The long cord and the nice pouch are definitely an added bonus.

Small issues... like the ear pads are almost non existent .. may feel a little hard for delicate ears. Also, the clip for ears may get a bit uncomfortable after long wear. Finally, the wrap-around band is not the usual wrap around! It sticks a little bit behind the head .. so you may not be able to lie down on a pillow comfortably and use the head-set ....

My husband and I love these headphones. We workout and do yard work with these headphones on and never have a problem. They are great for traveling because they fold up and easy to put in a carry-on bag.

Very rich sound with good base from a lightweight, compact (foldable), and inexpensive set of headphones! I have always had good experiences with JVC audio equipment!
