JVCHA-NP35T-B Wireless Open Ear Headphones, Nearphones, True Wireless Earbuds, Water Protection (IPX4), Microphone Muting Function, 17 Hours Playback, Bluetooth 5.1 (Black)

I wanted some bone-conductive headphones to wear under my hat. I have a minor problem with the opening to my ear, so bone conductive technology has been a godsend.Firstly there is no noise cancellation to speak of. That is not what these are about so look elsewhere (I was on a noisy underground metro where it was pointless to wear them). These are designed so you can hear traffic, fellow runners, riders, walkers, pedestrians, etc. when we're out and about or in the gym.The sound quality is good with the treble and mid ranges, but you will naturally lose the bassier end as they don't fit inside the ear canal or cover the ear. Taking a phone call is clear, just tap and you're in, yet still allows you to hear the Postie ringing the doorbell.Volume controls are a little fiddly: tap the L ear for up, the R ear for down; if using one earpiece, tap 3x for up, 2x for down. I often take to using the phone to switch calls as i usually have a hat covering them.Initially it took a while for my ears to adjust to having something behind it (Will Smith & King Charles wouldn't have a problem). I needed to give my ear a break every day or so. After a month, I was getting so used to it, I often forgot it was on.As I said, I bought these so I can wear a hat to cover my ears in the colder months. It fitted the bill perfectly, as I was able to catch up on my music, whilst being able to hold a conversation and hear what's around me.It is fairly water resistant, I was caught out in the rain but decided to keep them on to keep my motivation up. No problem! but I'm not going to drop them in a bath to check further.The battery life is exceptional with 7hrs playback and a recharger that is good for10hrs. 2hrs 30mins will give you a full recharge.

50/50LikesVery comfortable (glasses wearer)Battery life seems really goodLight weight forget to remove them sometimesDislikesLow volumenoisy areas IE road traffic helicopters etc make it hard to hear music from them.Can be iffy at charging if you don't check in slots correctly.

They sound clear with phone calls, however disappointing when connecting to music. They don't play sound without being connecting/disconnected/reconnected many times. Then the music volume is extremely low, lower than the sound on a phone call. I don't understand why music / singing sound is lower than talking sound. Therefore disappointed with the usefulness and quality. Not value for money.

Well, the HearingAid-beige model was unsurprisingly cheapest, so not caring about the colour for use at home, that is what I opted for.They are great, pretty comfortable, but do occasionally make the back of my ear sore, quick rub (of my ear) and a re-adjustment of position and all is well again.The left one ceased to make sound a few weeks ago (after occasional use), despite all attempts to factory reset etc, no dice. I have continued to use the right one occasionally, it is now constantly complaining of low battery despite extended periods in its little case, which itself is showing at least 2 dots out of 3 for power, so should be charging. There may be an issue with the contacts not being long enough in the case, but even with the earphone sitting as snug as possible it is either not charging or is intermittentBought from "Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L." who directed me straight to JVC, I have opened a ticket with them and I will come and update this with progress.I have given 4 stars because they are great as a concept but the experience I am having negates 5 star status.Oh and the pretty charging case is very difficult to open for me, I was considering mod'ing it but didn't want to invalidate any warranty - you need a strong thumbnail a few mm long to prise the thing open, honestly it is easier to open oyster/clam shells - but this is a minor complaint and others may find it a breeze to do.Update: JVC couldn't help and pointed me back to Amazon, I need to take it up with them now, reduced to 3 stars as I don't think I am alone with issues with them

These earphones are brilliant, I don't like the type of earphones that are inserted into the ears. These jvc earphones are great for me and other people like me. Excellent sound from them without blasting your eardrums to bits

Volume is very low even when set to full volume

Simple to connect with Android phone. A little quiet but that could be the phone. Case a little awkward to open. Fits with glasses. A lot better than a previous no name brand. A tad expensive.

This is my second review. At first I thought the volume was quite low now after getting use to the earphones I found that this was not so. A couple of taps on the left earpiece brings the volume up. They are loud enough to listen to my audiobooks or music very comfortably. Now I would recommend this set or earphones. They are very clear and sound brilliant. Well worth the money.

Muy bien con estos auriculares. Se cargan facil. Se conectan bien. Suenan bien. cómodos de llevar. La única pega seria la acción de subir y bajar el volumen a veces no va muy fina. Por lo demás perfectos

Prodotto che si indossa molto comodamente. Non si scaricano mai (durano una intera giornata in funzione), leggere, pratiche da ricaricare e l'ascolto si interrompe quando le ripongo nel loro astuccio per la ricarica. Unica pecca: volume molto basso all'aperto.

Mon épouse l'utilise tous les jours aussi bien pour faire du vélo que de la marche. Elle en est très satisfaite.

Zgodne z opisem. Problem z połączenie, jednej słuchawki tylko przy bardzo słabej baterii.Nie ma sensu porównywać ich ze słuchawkami wyciszającymi, ale pozwalają oglądać film/prowadzić rozmowę i nie odcinać się od domowników.

Le volume pour moi est faible.
