Jensen JM10 Headphone with Swivel Cups and V.C.

 |
Description
Jensen's JM10 stereo headphones provide convenience, durability, and comfort at an affordable price--but, like most portable equipment, they lack excellence in sound quality. Using large, 40mm elements (speaker drivers); a strong and flexible rubber headband; and stylish, pivoting earcups, the lightweight JM10s will fit just about any head and rest easily against your ears. The compact design lets you stash them in a pocket or briefcase without risk of breakage. A single wire from the left earcup alleviates wire-knotting, a common flaw in designs where each earphone is separately wired. A clippable level-control mechanism (up, down, or off) frees you from needing immediate access to your listening device, letting you tuck your portable cassette, MiniDisc, CD, or MP3 player into a backpack, purse, or pocket. An included 1/4-inch adapter fosters listening from component audio sources such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, and some DVD machines. We found the sound of the JM10s to be mellow and unfatiguing, though these characteristics result in part from a limited frequency range and a pronounced boost in the upper-bass region. If you're tired of tiny, tinny headphones, and are seeking an easy, go-anywhere headset that won't disintegrate midway through your next plane flight, the JM10s will serve you just fine. Pros:
- Lightweight
- Durable and flexible headband
- Well-designed volume control
Cons:

NOW I'M KINDA P!SSED OFF!!!Friday, March 11, 2005
I AM REALLY UPSET WITH THESE. NOTHING REALLY ON THESE HEADPHONES ARE PROS. THEY ARE MOSTLY ALL CONS
Pros:
- Volume remote...which doesn't even help peak volume anyway, so this really isn't a pro.
Cons:
- These are some of the most QUIET HEADPHONES I'VE EVER USED IN ANY OF MY PLAYERS! The impedance is 32 ohms, one of the worst impedances you can get.
- There is SMALL BASS ON THESE! The bass is completely bloated and tinny.
- The treble is IN A TUNNEL??? Honestly, is there a long tube in between these.
- These have HORRIBLE COMFORT. The rubber headband makes them extremely oversized.
- These are NOT DURABLE! Every single pair of these broke in the same space, with good care. The left side of the earcup, which features the right side's cord.
- If there not durable, they are NOT PORTABLE EITHER. Sure, they fold up, but that's all the portability you'll get out of them. They break, one in my backpack, one putting them on the way I always do, the headband on my head, and the speakers correctly on the ear.
SO YEAH! I'M KINDA MAD, EVEN THOUGH I'M GETTING MY $$ BACK. THE FACT THAT THESE HEADPHONES HAVE BAD SOUND, COMFORT, DURABILITY, AND PORTABILITY, WHY ON EARTH WOULD I GIVE THESE A GOOD RATING??? THEY ARE WASTING ABOUT A WEEK OF MY LIFE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY FROM JENSEN.
Big Let DownThursday, November 14, 2002
I was looking forward to getting new headphones, but I wish I'd either spent more money on a better pair or less money for something that was equally disappointing.
First of all, they were too big for my head. The minimum adjustment holds the speakers centered on my earlobe. If you have a smaller head (can wear kid-sized glasses for example), I suggest you look elsewhere.
The second disappointment was in the extra volume control. I assumed that I could get louder sound with two volume controls (the one on the headphones and the one on the CD player). Actually, the volume ended up being less than what I got out of my [...] headphones from Walgreens.
On the plus side, the swivel cups make them easier to carry around, and I don't have to be as careful when storing them because I don't worry about breaking off the speakers.

Great Sound, Great QualityWednesday, September 05, 2001
I bought this because I needed good phones without the extra bulk. They're really lightweight, but not flimsy. They have very good sound quality. I really like the volume control on the headphones themselves. It gives me the extra level of control. All in all, a really good bang for your buck.

These headphones fold FLAT and fit in my briefcaseWednesday, April 11, 2001
I can't understand how Jensen delivers such a high qualityproduct for just a low price. The bass is most impressive, with the right amount of thump without overpowering other sounds. The earpads are comfortable enough for extended listening, and the adjustable headband is nice and substantial - not one of those thin metal bands you usually find on "budget" headphones. The long single cord is another plus - much more comfortable and convenient than headphones that have an under-chin yolk style cord. Volume control is also conveniently placed. I definitely don't feel like I'm compromising on sound quality when I listen to my favorite CDs on these headphones.

Who could have guessed these would be so good for the price?Wednesday, April 11, 2001
Jensen JM10 Anonymous Review I love these headphones!! The easy access volume control is right where I need it and I can turn it ON and OFF whenever I need to. They are a great value! The headphones stay where they are supposed to and fit my head great. The sound quality is clear and crisp. The single cord attached makes it feel as if your not wearing headphones at all. I would recommend it to all my friends.
