Product Description
JVC research shows that consumers' biggest problem with in-ear headphones is their tendency to fall out. The HA-FX66 headphones tackle that problem by using a soft silicon rubber air cushion for the earpiece body. The result is an in-ear headphone that stays securely in place while remaining comfortable. What's more, the design also provides superior isolation from background noise, allowing the user to get the most out of the headphone's 8.5mm neodymium driver. Noise caused by cord movement is also minimized because of the headphone's Friction Noise Reduction Cord. vibration-proof structure. The HA-FX66 includes a carrying case for easy transport.

 Great value, and very comfortable. September 16, 2008

When I bought these I was a little worried about the comfort. I've had some bad experiences with uncomfortable in-ear headphones. The Amazon user reviews said they were comfortable, so I gave them a shot.
I have to agree. These are extremely comfortable, and they do a great job of blocking outside noise. I use them when I'm mowing the lawn, and it does a good job of blocking some of the mower noise, but not so much as to be dangerous. The sound quality is also excellent. It is very balanced, not too much bass, not too much highs. NOTE: Give the headphones a few weeks to get "broken in" before judging the sound quality. Most headphones need to loosen the speaker drivers before you get the best sound, and this takes a while. If you want to speed this up, plug them into a CD player on repeat and have it play through them at a medium volume overnight for a few nights.
These headphones also feature some nice extras that add a little extra value. They have the little slider that you can slide down the wire to keep the ear pieces together, just like iPod headphones, and they also have a very small plug, which is the same size and shape as the original iPod headphones. It includes 4 sizes of earpieces, so you'll find one that fits just right.
One other note, the picture on Amazon makes the earpieces look a little bulky, but they're not. They will fit even in small ears comfortably. The oval-shaped piece of the earpiece is soft plastic with air inside, so it cushions nicely inside your ear, and keeps them in place, even if they get tugged on a little bit.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality and value of these headphones, and I highly recommend them. You can tell that JVC went back to the drawing board to answer customer's requests for comfort, and borrowed some of the best design elements from other companies. The result is a high-quality, very comfortable set of headphones that are easy to recommend.
 Not working right September 15, 2008

I must have received the only defective product made. I see awesome reviews for these, but when I received mine the right ear bud rarely works. If they sit still long enough the sound will start coming through. I gave it 2 stars because the one earbud that works sounds awesome.... I just wish they both did... :(
 Best Fit, Sound Quality, and Price July 20, 2008

The fit of these JVC earbuds is the best I've tryed so far. The shape keeps them inserted against the ear canal in a fixed position so that the sound is always optimized. This also helps to keep them securely inserted. Other ear buds can turn within the ear and change the sound. Very annoying. Sound quality is great and price is very resonable. The only negative I've found is that the silicone earpieces come off too easily. When moving them, always look to see that they're still attached.
Exceptional in two ways.....so so in another May 31, 2008

First off, these headphones are way above the competition in price and comfort. There biggest plus is how amazingly well they fit into me ear. Yours' may be different, but the design of the headphones suggests that they would fit snugly in most people's ears.
Their sound is clear, precise, and bright. Like most earbuds, even those in the $100.00 plus range they fail to reproduce the the power of the lower end of the frequency spectrum....bass. But the sound is very pleasing and well rounded.
If you're looking for comfortable, good sounding headphones and don't want to spend $200.00 or more, these are the one's I would recommend.
Best ever, minus the "carrying case" March 19, 2008

Truly magnificent sound. Perfect product, but for two small issues:
The "carrying case" is a joke. Either it was designed by a rabid chimpanzee who was shaving itself with a straight razor whilst watching ripoffs of Gilligan's Island, with a Downs Syndrome-encrusted lunatic that kinda looks like a cross between Bob Dole and a giraffe (Paris Hilton) playing the lead, or I must be the least dexterous human being on the planet. And I know for a fact I'm more dexterous than at least a few people, Andy Richter and Karl Rove for instance. In the future, my advice to JVC would be to avoid using chimpanzees to design product accessories.
The cord is just a bit too short.
These are minor issues, as the purpose of earphones is to hear stuff through 'em and these are great at that. Five stars.
