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

Product Information

It's all relative, right? Sure, you can spend WAY more on BT headphones with flashier style, more features, greater brand-name recognition (though for you young 'uns in the crowd, JVC was once-upon-a-time a true titan in the word of consumer electronics), ultra-premium construction, etc. etc. etc. 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. Since they’re incredibly light, they’re also quite comfortable. The pads use standard foam rather than softer memory foam, and there’s only a ring of it. Despite this, you can wear the JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless for several hours without suffering achey ears. On the lower end of the three buttons is the power button with an easy to feel raised “dash” in the center. Easy to reach with your thumb. This button also serves as the Bass Boost toggle and Bluetooth control. While on and connected a short press of this button will toggle Bass Boost, double tone = On and single tone = Off.

This is a smooth sound that doesn’t tire you out. You can listen for lengthy stretches of time. The full range of sounds is nicely balanced, but that upper frequency shimmer you hear on the best headphones and the solid, thunderous bass, at the lowest frequencies is not here. I would also suggest not over pushing the volume when lots of bass is present. The headphone volume seems able to overpower their own drivers and sound stressed out, with some distortion becoming apparent. But, I do think you get what you pay for. This is a friendly headphone set that is also quite reliable in its operation. Music sounds natural with no over-emphasis, except maybe for bass, but, only if you want it. I really liked the bass without the emphasis, but I usually do. Comfort is another standout feature of these headphones. The on-ear design provides a snug fit without causing discomfort, even during extended listening sessions. The ear cushions are soft and plush, creating a cozy environment that enhances the overall enjoyment of the audio. It charges with Micro-USB (Cable included). Note that there is no analog input and doesn't work while being charged.

JVC HA-S30BT-B-E Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Price Analysis

I have been a JVC headphone fan since many years. But this was my first try with a JVC Bluetooth headphone. Excellent product and well built. Easy to pair, easy to charge, easy to use, and easy to store. Comfortable to wear for hours and the padding is perfect even though these are On-Ear-Headphones. These stay connected throughout our 800 sq foot apartment. MicroUSB port is easily accessible for connecting a third party magnetic charging adapter (see pic.) Some devices have their charging ports inside indents making them a pain to connect to such an adapter. The extra bass feature is noticeable and works will with music. I turn it off for TV watching though. The battery lasts for days and days before it needs a charge. This device broadcasts how much % the battery charge remains which we can see when it is connected to a Windows device. This is the only Bluetooth device that shows the % of battery charge on my Windows PC. I am so impressed with this product that I bought another one as a spare. They are very easy to pair. When the headphones are OFF, press and hold the power button until the indicator light alternately flashes red and blue. Select “JVC HA-S35BT” from the device list and the indicator will slowly flash blue when the connection is complete. Chances are you probably know all there is to know about Currys, but if you don’t then here’s a little more detail about them. On the specs side, it's Bluetooth 4.1 and SBC codec. The downside is that doesn't support more advanced audio codec like Apt-X or AAC.

When you power on the headphones they will automatically connect to the previously used device (if available), with the indicator slowly flashing blue when connected. If the indicator light slowly flashes red, the connection was not established. 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. PHONE USE: A test phone call to my wife went exceptionally well. Although I sounded a bit muffled to myself, she thought I sounded like a very clear land line connection. And she sounded great to me . . . and it wasn’t just the stars in my eyes. These headphones won’t reveal a new side to songs you’ve loved for years, but they do offer an easy-going listen – and that might be sufficient for those who want a set of headphones for their commute to work or for runs. The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless are petite on-ear headphones. Their cups barely cover your ears, making them far lower-key than models such as the AKG Y50BT.

JVC HA-S31BT - Q&A

We went to the tech store the other day and we were surprised to see that there are literally hundreds of new stereo headphones for sale. And the variety of brands and types is so big... wired, wireless, earbuds, closed-type and many more. The headband is on the rigid side with no padding. Regardless it feels comfortable, and the headphones fold flat.

The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless don’t include a wired output, aptX, particularly strong isolation or active noise cancellation. They don’t excel in noisy environments. The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless do avoid the issues that should turn you off a pair completely, though. Bass quality may not be impressive, but neither is it boomy or ultra-dominant. And the treble isn’t at all sibilant or harsh. The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless are a basic pair of headphones, consistent with the price. They don’t fold up, although the cups do swivel around by 90 degrees to sit ‘flat’, hence the name. That they sit relatively flat on your ears is also important. These are good-looking headphones, particularly if you want a low-key but stylish appearance. Today we are reviewing two cheap models made by JVC - the HA-S31M-Awhich is the wired version and the HA-S31BT which as the name suggests connects via Bluetooth.SUMMARY: What sets these JVCs apart from the competition is the very easy and comfortable-to-use headphones. These are unlikely to tire a user even after lengthy periods of use, because the sound is very neutral. They are designed for all-day work sessions where you don’t want to isolate yourself from the environment around you. And, phone calls are just as natural. I also really like the controls. Nicely done. First and foremost, the sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. The powerful audio output delivers a rich and immersive listening experience. Whether I'm enjoying my favorite music genres, watching movies, or playing games, the precision and depth of the sound make every moment more enjoyable. The durability of these headphones is impressive. The robust construction ensures that they can withstand daily use, and the foldable design makes them convenient to carry on the go. The inclusion of a tangle-free cord is a small yet thoughtful detail that adds to the overall user-friendly experience. First: By “remote control” JVC is actually is referring to the on-headphone controls. Was I the only one to not know that? I’m happy with these on-ear headphones given the price. I like a balanced sound, so I’m surprised I prefer to leave Bass Boost on. I like the swivel fold flat design and the ear cups are soft and comfortable. They are lightweight but there is no padding on the adjustable headband. I can wear them for 3-4 hours before the top of my head begins to hurt. They fit snug on my narrow head so people with large heads might find them tight.

For the price, the JVCs are very nicely made, with soft and comfortable earpieces, very accessible and common-sense controls, and a lighter than typical overall weight. “Clamping” around your head is very slight, but still fairly stable for those walking around the office. POWER OFF: Hold down BASS/POWER button for 3 seconds. Absence of Bluetooth input for 5 minutes will also truth headphones off. The battery life on these is fantastic. It's rated for 17 hours. I've been using it at work for several days and the battery indicator on the phone still shows around 80% on the headphones.Specs aside, these sound great, specially at the value they offer. The sound is very clear, detailed and neutral. The extra bass settings provides additional body, but not overwhelming, working well on different types of music. JVC is not one of the more familiar names in headphones, but it is one of the premier AV equipment makers. Their Home Theater projectors are incredible. These JVC HA-S35BT headphones are certainly in the “credible” category, even if they don’t challenge the top-of-the-line competition. The JVC HA-S20BT Flats Wireless look good, if you take care of them, plus they don’t have the Bluetooth connectivity issues of most older budget wireless headphones. However, you might want to consider spending just a little more for better sound quality.
