JVC Wired Lightweight Headphones - Black, ‎HA-L50-B-E

I First brought a pair of these headphones about six years ago and still in use , I loved them so much I purposely searched Amazon for the exact same headphones when I decided to buy a second pair so I could leave a set in my bedroom as love listening to music at night. They are very light weight which I love and extremely comfortable to wear both the headband and on the ear, they are also the first headphones I have owned that stay put once on and never slip or move whether walking, sitting or even laying in bed, and maybe because of the form covers they don't make my ears hot either and never become uncomfortable even when worn for a long time . I was a little woried at first that the foam on the ear pads seemed quite thin but time has proven that they are extremely long lasting and can easaliy be replaced when needed as they just slip off and news ones slipped on . Importantly sound quality is brilliant used them with laptop, CD players , Tv , two different phone mp3 players and the sound has always been exceptionally good , I love listening to music and I would even say they inhance the sound and never distorts . I personly don't like " in the ear " ear plugs or headphones and in my mind there are an ideal alternative with being small, neat and very lightweight and although they dont fold down completly flat they do fold down to a size that means they can be easaliy carried in the hand, pocket , case, handbag etc. Bonus is they are also a very low priced set of headphones , low in price high in quality. Transaction went smoothly and they arrived very quickly.

Sound quality is good. These headphones are inexpensive and lightweight, but rather flimsy, so easily broken if not careful. Stick to indoor use.

Great product, good price thanks

I bought these to carry around as a film maker. I wanted something compact and lightweight that would fit easy in my camera bag. It don’t need amazing audio, just to be able to hear the feed from the mic is clear and u distorted. Not sure how well they’ll last but for less than £10 you can’t argue.

Having had a recent poor experience with an entry level german made wired set of headphones, which I had purchased to replace my 1980s Sennheiser HD 50 lightweight ones, I decided to go rock bottom and buy the nearest thing to my 1980s phones. Back in the 1980s when the Sony Walkman portable cassette and all it's multibrand imitations came about, lightweight headphones were the norm and you could buy some pretty good ones. Nowadays, trends have changed and all sorts of other headphone styles and types exist. The JVC lightweight headphones from Amazon were a snip at £7 and have reasonable audio quality. Conversely, my HD50s were £35 around 1988, which according to the Bank of England inflation calculator translates to £95, in 2020. So I've no gripe with the £7 JVC price tag. I gave the JVCs to my daughter because her latest headphones had 'failed' (see below). But being foldable and in the hands of a youngster, they have an inherent weakness. The hinge pin can become detached. Each side having a hing pin, which is metal and normally resides comfily in a plastic recess. Metal into plastic is not ideal and over time (7 months) and several dislocations later, this hypermobility has got to a stage where the headphones are no longer viable. That said, you could probably make them last longer were you to treat them well, not lean on them, nor wear them in bed/fall asleep etc. Finally, these have been the first headphones in which the cat has not been interested and this goes to their credit. Our cat has a reputation for cleaning his teeth by chewing cables. He has chewed the internet adsl cable and several sets of headphone leads to oblivion. The old acting adage'never work with children or animals' might well apply to the personal audio world. Some day a manufacturer will take this on board and there will follow a golden age of headphones.

My older wired over ear headphones had earpads which were falling to bits so I chucked them and ordered these. I've just been listening to a Mozart piano concerto with them - excellent quality. Arcade Fire, Rebellion very clear, not that bassy. These JVCs are very low cost and also really tiny. They are now my standard ones to plug into the PC's mini hifi if it's late and my wife's gone to bed. They will also be useful on holiday. I also have some bigger bluetooth headphones but as my Pixel 6 Pro phone lacks an audio jack socket I just ordered a USB-C to stereo audio jack adaptor, so these will be my usual headphones in all sorts of situations, plane, train and on holiday. That's because they are so tiny when folded and so comfortable (on my very big head) in use. They are so small (over my big ears) that I'm not expecting them to keep out exterior sounds that much. But they cost so little for what they deliver!

Purchased for my wife who wanted a pair of light weight over ear headphones to use with her phone for general audio odds and ends. They are light weight and she is pleased with them. She said she wished they were slightly tighter on her ears but overall pleased with the build and sound quality. JVC are a good make and I’m sure they will last.

The only criticism you could fairly level at these low price headphones is that they are quite a loose fit. Having said that, they do stay in place on your ears and do not feel uncomfortable BECAUSE they are such a loose fit. Remembering the discomfort far more expensive headphones cause after a short period of use, to me the loose fit is an advantage. They are in fact extremely comfortable & you forget you are wearing them at all very quickly indeed. I did test them against my newish Sony headphones (which fit tightly), and noted no difference in volume whatsoever. The JVC's did sound much louder than the Sony's if compressed against my ears... I would therefore reckon that JVC have factored in the loose fit in order to avoid low volume issues. To my ear, the overall quality was nearly as good as my £20 Sony's. It has a useful cable reach of 1.5 metres (my Sony's only have 1 metre, which can be a pain). They look great & far better quality than the price tag would suggest. I have noted reviews stating that they do not fold down small enough... Ahem... They do actually fold down to a semi-circle slightly smaller than 14cms by 6cms (without any exaggeration, about half the area of a tea saucer). Until JVC actually develop magic shrinking dust, Im not quite sure how they're meant to better this without compromising on looks, durability, or quality. It makes sense to adapt your purchases to your needs, and you'd surely spend a lot more on headphones to use with your high end living room Bose stereo (for example). For MP3, TV, Walkman, laptop or computer occasional use however, these truly are extremely fit for purpose... This is a good product at a ridiculously low price that is extremely hard to criticise.

Nice and light.

Bra ljud och kvalitet

Preis-/Leistung geht vollkommen in Ordnung. Der Kopfhörer ist leicht, laut genug und bietet für die Preisklasse (!) einen guten Klang.

Bardzo fajne i ładnie wykonane słuchawki. Idealnie służą pod TV, a osoba, która z nich korzysta (senior 89 lat) jest bardzo zadowolony z jakości dźwięku. Polecam zakup 👍

Los JVC HA-L50 son una opción excelente para quienes buscan auriculares esteticamente bonitos, cómodos, ligeros y con una calidad de sonido que supera lo esperado en este rango de precio. No están pensados para uso profesional, pero para escuchar música, ver películas o seguir podcasts, ofrecen una experiencia sonora muy satisfactoria, con buen equilibrio y claridad. Lo que más destaca es su comodidad. En mi caso, no puedo usar auriculares in-ear porque me resultan molestos al poco tiempo, y los de diadema tradicionales me aprietan demasiado. Estos, en cambio, son tan ligeros que apenas se sienten puestos, y no ejercen presión en la cabeza. Puedo llevarlos durante horas sin ninguna molestia, lo que los convierte en una solución perfecta para quienes tienen sensibilidad o buscan algo realmente cómodo. Además, su diseño plegable y el cable largo los hacen muy prácticos para el día a día. Un punto a tener en cuenta es que no poseen micrófono, hay a quien esto le parecera una ventaja y a quien no, todo depende del uso que se le valla a dar a los auriculares. Por el precio que tienen, ofrecen mucho más de lo que uno espera: sonido claro, buena presencia de graves y una experiencia auditiva agradable durante largas sesiones. Una opción muy recomendable si lo que buscas es comodidad y buen sonido sin complicaciones. Estaria bien que hiciesen este modelo de auriculares inalambrico. Adjunto video para esclarecer dudas.
