I purchased these earphones based on recommendations from Sport-Touring.net members. I previously had tried the ER6i and other in-ear phones, however I have small ears and small ear canals. I could never find ones that were comfortable. These differ from some other types in that they are not actually in-ear-canal earphones. Instead, they are molded to fit in the pocket of your ear - similar to how a hearing aid fits - and the tip just seals up around the end of the ear canal rather than IN it. This results in a good level of sound deadening, clean sound and - most importantly for me - comfort. I can actually wear these things all day, whereas regular iPod phones are only good for an hour. In-ears were less. They work inside my various motorcycle helmets, and since they block a lot of sound, they offer protection for riding *and* help me zone-in at work when things are noisy. I'm very happy with these - finally a set of in-ears that fit ME well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 10x Their Price!, August 20, 2008

I've had these JVC "Air Cushions" for about 7 months now, and they are just UNBELIEVABLE! I use them with my SanDisk Sansa Clip mp3 player, and they have spoiled me to the point where I no longer want to listen to my home stereo or car stereo (which are of good quality, but now sound bad by comparison).
I have very ecclectic musical tastes, which include everything from 70's rock, to Muzak to classical, and these phones handle all music exsquisitely.
They have a great bass response- allowing the deepest bass of any phones I have tried (better than the Koss "Plug"s) while producing rich and clear mids and treble- which is so essential for classical.
They are not at all tinny (anyone who says that they are, isn't inserting them properly- you must get a good fit to experience proper sound).
And to top it all off...these things are COMFORTABLE and they stay in your ears! (I was long hesitant to buy an mp3 player, because I never liked wearing headphones...but these JVCs have made a convert out of me!).
These phones are among the best on the market, for any price- and easily out-perform ones that cost many times their price. Do yourself a favor and try a pair- if you have a good quality mp3 player, they will truly allow you to experience the music in a new dimension and make you aware of what you've been missing.
They are a SCREAMING bargain for under $20. You literally can not get a better sounding pair of phones for 5 times the price. Get a pair...you will not be sorry.
Oh, and they also come with about 5 different sizes and types of earpieces, so that you can choose the ones that fit best and are most comfortable. After these, you will not want to use any other earphones!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Headphones, January 3, 2008

I bought these headphones on the many recommendations from a hi-fi headphone forum. Many people, who buy expensive headphones and appreciate the quality of good headphones, loved these inexpensive earbuds. I needed to replace some Sony's I had, which were falling apart. I have been very pleased with them. As with all earbuds, you need to make sure they're a snug fit to get good bass out of them. Once you do, these earbuds deliver! I don't know why people are saying they're tinny. They are definitely not! A definite improvement over my Sony 71's and 81's. And the design is great. The earbuds rest on a larger piece that fits perfectly in my ear. No more messing around to get the bud to fit in my ear canal just right. I am very particular with my music, and researched these and others extensively, and my research paid off. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a sub-$100 pair of earbuds.
