JVC Wireless Bluetooth Foldable Deep Bass On Ear Lightweight HA-S31BT Headphones, Black

Product Information

There's not much to the product to garner the cost, when there are so many better and cheaper headphone options available on the market.

In terms of headphone battery life as a significant factor in the purchase decision, it depends on what you want to use the headphones for and potentially how often you will be able to recharge them. For starters, I was impressed with how thoughtfully designed these otherwise unassuming headphones really are. Clamping” around your head is very slight, but still fairly stable for those walking around the office. Guess I should sell em online to someone who thinks jvc makes the best of everything like I used to think. One particular point of note that earns these cans a gold-star for usability (at least in my book) is the thoughtfully designed control cluster.

It's particularly important to choose headphones with a good acoustic seal for travelling, to avoid annoying your fellow passengers. I found sound quality to be quite pleasing at moderate and even low volumes--enough so that I could easily see using these for something like a daily commute, while you're on vacation, or in any setting where you might prefer not to be lugging around top-dollar equipment, but still wanted to wring some joy out of your jams. However, every individual perceives frequencies differently, so the frequency range of headphones varies according to individual needs.

This auto-connect feature is great if you mostly use them with one device, but it can be annoying when the last used device is in another room. all were refreshingly near-instantaneous, rather than delayed slightly as with many BT devices where it takes a noticeable amount of time between button presses and signal registration/response--another check in the WIN column. The earcups themselves are covered with a thick, ultra-forgiving layer of foam surrounded by soft-touch pleather that only serve to further cushion the otherwise moderate inward pressure they will exert on your ears.

These are unlikely to tire a user even after lengthy periods of use, because the sound is very neutral. I found that the Bass Boost mode simply "filled out" the sound signature--it gave the music and bit more heft and bite in the mid-bass and midrange in general. Speaking of Bluetooth--JVC has managed to engineer about the fastest Bluetooth control responsiveness I've ever seen; track skip, play/pause, volume changes, etc. These headphones offer 17-hours of wireless listening, and bass boost for high clarity and deep bass sound. We made our durability test for wireless headphones more rigorous from May 2018, so the star ratings for wireless headphones from then onwards aren't comparable to wireless headphones tested before.

The JVC HA-S31BT are affordable on-ear wireless headphones that support both Google Assistant and Siri voice assistants. Yes, they are on-ear cans, but the inward clamping pressure is relatively low, but not so feather-light as to be loose on your head--those of you sensitive to on-ear pressure (like me) may still be able to go a few hours or more before you start to notice any discomfort. But for what they ARE--solid performing, no-frills, Bluetooth headphones--you really can't ask for more than what these JVC's deliver, and you might even be surprised by what they bring to the fight. Not having wires also makes them more versatile, and I am able to move around freely without worrying about the wires getting. There's really not that much to say about these headphones that will inspire me to recommend these to anyone.Each of the five members of our professional listening panel, who have a range of ages and ear sizes, gives a rating for how comfortable they find the headphones to wear, and we take an average. On the other hand, the limiting factor of wireless headphones is a certain delay in sound transmission between the source and the headphones (almost indistinguishable for the average user), and they also need to be charged regularly. I suppose that's okay as we found the battery easily lasted all the way through an 11 hour road trip with our kids; but just be aware that you can't juice your headphones passively from a regular headphone jack when the battery dies. That said, I don't think they'd last long during a moderate or heavy workout before shifting around on your head--but they also aren't sweatproof so I wouldn't recommend wearing them during a hard workout anyway.
