Waste of money

May 16, 2004 - By Amazon Customer

These headphones have a constant hiss, even when fully charged. The sound cuts out every few minutes for no reason, and the silence lasts for a few minutes too. Since there is "automatic" tuning, then there is no way to adjust the tuning to get a better, or any, signal.

DEFECTIVE FROM MANUFACTUER

Jul 10, 2005 - By Marvin Perry (Jackson, CA)

My brother-in-law bought this product from Fry's Electronics where he was charged 5-times the price I found at Amazon.com, but at least HIS HEADPHONES WORKED. My wife was quite impressed with them and wanted to buy the same model for my birthday.

When we found that they were being closed out at a price less than $27, we ordered right away, without even checking these reviews. The headphones would NOT TURN ON, even after charging the battery for 72-hours. It was totally defective. One reviewer, who has had the "100" model for ten years wondered why JVC quality has diminished. I can tell them that it is because this "Japanese" product is now being manufactured in China, and there IS NO QUALITY CONTROL done any more...just solder it together and hope it works!

Unfortunately there was good reason for low price closeout

Aug 19, 2005 - By Willard P. Bell

I bought these headphones at less than half the normal price, so at least the loss was not a great problem. They are essentially a badly designed or high failure rate product that puts a blemish on JVC. Sometimes they work for a while, but not for long. They will drop out of operation when only 5 or 10 feet away, and the charge light never stops blinking as it should to indicate the phones are fully charged.

Bad quality product

Aug 22, 2005 - By NJ Ghui

Followed the instructions to setup the headphone and started to charge the battery for couples of hours. Then, connected to my CD player immediately, no sound at all. Followed the instruction to switch it off and on, still not working. Charged the headphone again for couples of hours and repeated the instructions, still not working. Item was finally returned and is waiting for a replacement. Hopefully, this was a particular instance and no problem for other units.

its ok,,average

Aug 19, 2005 - By HarryPotter (Fort Laurardale)

The qality of sound i will rate 3 out of 5 but it has lot of problems.
1)The sound takes some time to start in headsets.
2)Will only work properly in line of sight.
3)Whenever a call comes in my wireless phone this starts giving lots of noice.
4)The charging indicator kept on blinking.Didnt stop even after 30 hrs of charging.
5)The range in which it works good is very less.
Good for using with TV or surround system in same room.
