Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (White)
Customer Review: Nice sound, but still cheap earbuds
Summary: 2 Stars
My first impression of these earbuds was great. OK, they were indeed very light and looked kinda cheap, but I was quite impressed with the sound quality for its price. In my opinion, the JBuds sound quality is much better than the standard iPod earphones, for example.
However, the honeymoon did not last long. 3 weeks after I got them, the JBuds stopped working. It seems part of the cable is broken, so now only the left side works. This probably has to do with the fact that, because the cable is too long, I often had to squeeze part of it into my pocket. So, since it's a little tight, the cable might have broken somewhere. But, again, this only happened because the cable is: 1) too long, and 2) too weak. This never happened to any of the other earphones I had (including iPod earbuds and other cheap Philips and Aiwa models), so I find it to be unacceptable.
Customer Review: Only 3 months...
Summary: 2 Stars
That's the time i used these earbuds, only 3 months until the left side earbud didn't work no more. I have a pair of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia which are great but the only two problems of the Sony Fontopia are the design(left earbud shorter than right earbud) and the silicone earbud gets loose alot. So I read some reviews from buyers about the JBuds, the majority were good reviews so i gave these earbuds a try. Here are the pros & cons from my experience...
Pros:
Reasonable price
Noise-reducing not bad
Design & exterior material were perfect compare to the Sony Fontopia
Cons:
Sound quality was BAD
Sound volume TOO LOW
Didn't last long
If these earbuds didn't have those cons than these earbuds would've been perfect. If you want to give them a try go ahead, but i don't recommend them....
Customer Review: Best earbubs I have ever gotten!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first with buying these ear buds i was skeptical, but I wanted something where I could change out the sizes because the apple ones that came with my Itouch fallout all the time. So when I got these today, I decided to wear them on my run, and they didn't fall out nor did I have to adjust them at all. These are a great price and great sound quality for a cheap budget, I thought they would be crappy like the Sony ones and apple but they weren't and now I'm buying a second pair but the J3's But these ones are my favorite ever, it doesn't even feel like you have them in your ears, and the sound is so good it sounds like your at the concert of the band but without the screaming fans and such!
I have and will be referring this to many friends! I hope you like them as much as I do, even though i haven't had them for so long!
Customer Review: You Get What You Pay For
Summary: 4 Stars
I guess it must be a new trend to call just about every pair of earbuds "noise reducing". Yes, they reduce noise. Just as anything you would stick in your ears would reduce noise. I have noise reducing q-tips and noise reducing cotton balls that work just as well. If you want noise reducing earbuds, there are not the ones. I get more noise reduction by sticking my fingers in my ears.
As for the quality of the product itself, all I can say is that you get what you pay for. I would recommend these for children or for people who aren't that concerned with the quality of sound. They, of course, will not compete with some of the more expensive products on the market, but they work fine. I'll keep mine at my office for mandatory web casts.
Overall, better than I expected for the price but nothing to get too excited about.
Customer Review: Very comfortable, but sound is muddy
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros: These earbuds are very comfortable and did not fall out of my ear. I wore these during a 1-hour cardio session on a treadmill and bike and had no comfort issues at all. Also, the noise cancellation was excellent - I was amazed at how low I could turn down the volume on my iPod.
Cons: The sound that comes out of these headphones is unfortunately very muddy since the treble response is very poor (I compared them to standard Apple headphones). I tried adjusting the EQ to Treble Boost, which did help, but they still didn't sound as good as the Apple headphones. I also tried "breaking in" the headphones by turning up the volume really loud for an extended period of time, but that did not help either. It was as if I was listening to a cassette tape instead of my iPod. I ended up returning these due to the poor sound quality.
