Still keepin' and eye on JVC. Want them to get there but it has been a little slow. All the stuff is designed in Japan. Outside of the runners earphone being a really nice design they have been okay till the little A5T finally brought USB C and a great size and shape. The one on the left is the A11T which is an upgrade from the A10T adding more battery newer BT and aptX and ambient. They did not update the physical design and it shows. Wish they would and thinking they will get to it in the next round. Certainly sturdy but the squarish case can be more shapely and USB-C like the newer A5T is. The buttons should be on top. in front is ugly and more annoying to press. Other than the face they look and fit quite nice just need the button on top edge above the mic. But for $39.99 they do bring aptX, TWS+/role swapping, really good sound(balanced sig), the foam tips if you like those, good battery life(8 hours per) and BT5.1 Class 1 and IPX5. You can control everything on board. Ambient is amplified nicely so you hears things well and cleanly except for a slight bit of hiss. Solid implementation for the price. The connection, battery, sound, ambient are all well done and a nice deal. If they up the case and control design they will have such a solid under $50 model.
They are a little better as far the the environmentally friendly packaging being mostly paper. The case wrap, tip bag and even the battery contact pieces are all paper. The packaging, nice tips, and the software side and performance are all sweet even in this fast moving market. The clunky case with micro USB and the clunky buttons are the relics letting it down but at least I know they should be ditching that and making them more modern with the next round esp. based on the latest model that came after it. I'll keep checking them out till they get the whole package right They still get good reviews for the most part.
