I love these earphones for the gym... they sound good with house music / dance music, and they stay put whilst running, sit ups, weights etc. I bought these cheap for £12 and they are worth it. However, now that my other headphones are nicely broken in (burnt in?), the limitations of these JVC are obvious in terms of the sound. They are not bad, just not worth buying for the sound - especially if you are after beautiful vocals or impressive detail. My other headphones are Sennheiser PX360.... not perfect, but better for most types of music than the...

I'm new to the site, and would not call myself an audiophile, although I do appreciate great sounding music played through good quality equipment. I share the kindred hate that many on this website seem to have of hearing music played through TV/Laptop/Phone speakers...and I try and explain to my wife why her Samsung OEM earphones do not do justice to her music - but still she sighs when she sees me eyeing up yet another pair of headphones. Anyway onto these Sennheisers:   Fantastic design and build quality - you can tell these are built to last...
