Title: Avoid these like the plague
Product review: I purchased the blue JVC Marshmallows from another retailer to replace the iPhone earbuds I have, which I find uncomfortable.The verdict for the JVC Marshmallows? Horrible. These headphones lack depth, clarity and bass. The JVCs particularly suffer in the midrange/upper bass region. By comparison, my iPhone earbuds, along with other inexpensive headphones I own, sounded lush, and multi-dimensional. It is not an exaggeration to say that these headphones sound like they are playing in mono.I had trouble accepting that headphones from a reputable brand like JVC could sound this bad, so I gave JVC the benefit of the doubt and assumed that the first pair was defective. I exchanged them for another pair, and tried them out, only to hear the same tinny, lackluster sound.Please note, I am not comparing these headphones to more expensive ones which may cost two, three or five times as much as the JVCs. Quite simply, the JVCs are terrible by any standard, in any price range.
