Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased my first red pair at a box store. They were excellent for the price, and they lasted 6 months with very heavy use. Their design was great, light and fit on the ears perfectly. Sound was definitely beyond this price range. When the left side stopped working, I decided to purchase JVC again since they met the need. My purchase of the black JVC Flats went smoothly. When I opened the blister packaging, both of the ear pieces came apart. The plastic piece that attached the earphones to the headband had sheared. Amazon quickly took them back and replaced them. The replacement came (black again) and this time one of the ear pieces was detached from the headband. The plastic piece was sheared again. This is apparently a design flaw since it was repeated. I would have given these 5 stars for the price and sound, but having two new sets arrive already broken deserves a low ranking. Thanks to Amazon for a painless replacement/return policy
