JVC – Over-the-Ear Headphones HAS95NB – Black

Pretty good noise cancellation and audio just wished there were a tad bit more cushioning

Headphones - Amazing Sound. Easy to use. just what I was looking for. You can't beat Best Buy.

JVC-Over-the-Ear: Model#: HAS95NB SKU: 6595663 - Headphones have good sound quality and decent noise canceling. They also have an "ambient sound" setting if you dont want background sounds cancelled out as much. I wanted to upgrade my daily headphones that i wore to the ground.. these were more expensive than my others but were on a good sale for $91, so i was interested in investing a bit more for a better quality product without breaking my bank. I had a list of features that i was looking for, and this pair seemed to have it all. The only unfortunate thing is the adjustability, it can extend about 2 more inches on each side, but the smallest it can get is still a bit big for my head. (I DO NOT have a small head either) I wear these while i work (warehouse setting) and moving around or bending over makes them slip around a bit too much for my comfort. They also have quite a bit thinner of a band than I'm used to, so it tends to get a bit uncomfortable over time. Size info: from the top of my ear over my head to the top of other ear- 12.5 in (on headphones the smallest is about 14in)

Wireless headphones - Volume would not increase. Could barely heard the person on the other end.

Headphones - Loved these for travel great battery life. And loved the ability to have the cable to connect and also the ability to be wireless. Best of both worlds.

Terrible Choice - These are terrible. The only reason I purchased them is because service in the store was terrible. I wanted the JBL's but after waiting for 15 minutes, I decided to get these. BAD SERVICE LED TO A BAD CHOICE.

Decent headphones for the money - Not as noise canceling as I thought they would be. But they did the job. Nice fit. Comfortable.

Mr.D - These are worth the price I got them at I use them on the plane and on the computer for the noise

Glad I purchased - Great use to plug in to DVD or use wifi for tv or other devices

Headphones - Good quality and not too expensive. What else is there to say

Affordable but not actual noise canceling - Got these for my kid to replace another cheap pair of noise canceling headphones of a diff brand that only lasted a year before completely dying. Saw these at the store and considered the price and was hoping they’d at least have a decent noise canceling but it’s virtually non existent. The kid says they’re still okay for now but we will see. The noise cancelling is important for neurodivergent kids to be able to shut out some noise but obviously don’t want to buy a kid $200 headphones. That said, the kid says the sound quality is very good and crystal clear, so hoping that compensates for the lack of actual noise canceling.

Works well, does the Job. Good sound, also water resistant for water aerobics.

JVC 770 - The sound is great, no better quality. I like the over the ears fit and snug. I get to the gym and it is noisy and the volume is not high enough to compete with the outside noises.

A great turnaround from a first impression - It was an inauspicious beginning. The packaging was generic with bare white cardboard on the interior to protect the headphones. I realized it would be difficult returning the headphones to their original box without ruining or ripping the package. I like being able to put items back in their boxes when not in use, especially when there is no included protective carrying case. In this situation the packaging is just a throw away. The headphones themselves seemed light, and the plastic a bit flimsy. I charged them up, paired them to my tablet and on first listen, the sound seemed cavernous and highly resonant, obscuring most of the detail in the music. The bass was excessive and flaccid. The voices were hidden behind the other instruments, unclear and muddled. I changed the settings to Ambient from Noise Cancelling and that helped a little, but it was a very disappointing experience. The directions that came with the set were on one sheet of paper, printed on both sides with the usual warnings seeming to be the greater portion of the instructions. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to them. At first. I listened to several different genres of music, as well as some YouTube instructional videos over a couple of hours and the sound still seemed “cavernous” to me. It seemed to echo within the confines of the large earpads. The noise cancelling worked fairly well, muting the sound of my computer fans…but that wasn’t much of a test. I played a cd of ocean waves, which is a better test, and they did a decent job of lowering the volume of the waves on this white noise test. I had to do some yardwork outside consisting mainly of leaf blowing, so I figured I had finally found a use for these headphones. The earpads surround the ear and were quite good at isolating me from the cacophony of the leaf blower. They isolated well enough that having noise cancelling on wasn’t necessary, though the noise cancelling did help. Now some of the positive properties of these headphones started to reveal themselves. The lightness had a purpose. These were surprisingly light and comfortable, and as a person who wears glasses, these weren’t painful to wear. They were snug, but unobtrusive, putting little pressure on my glasses. Other headphones I have owned have been quite painful, pressing hard against the temples of my glasses and being so snug against the ear that within minutes my ears would ache…but with these I was pleasantly surprised. They stayed put on the head, never feeling like they would fall off or slide off. They didn’t make my ears sweat either. Now I wasn’t playing any music as I blew the leaves into a couple of piles in my yard, but this experience made me give these headphones a second chance. I looked more closely at the one sheet manual and saw I had missed some other controls. I also figured I should try them wired, instead of using them wirelessly. These headphones were set originally to "bass" (but I had probably accidently bumped the settings when I was first setting them up), but there are two other settings, "clear" and "flat". In most instances I found "flat" gave the best sound. On the "flat" setting, the bass was better controlled, but voices still seemed lost behind the instruments. I do have other headphones to compare these to-one is a set of wired, on-ear headphones with strong but tight bass. Those cost about the same as the JVCs, but those don’t have any tone controls or noise cancelling. The next set of headphones I have are on-ear, were very expensive at the time of purchase, have noise cancelling, but are wired only--no Bluetooth. I also tested against two sets of earbuds—one set wired, and full-ranged, with no noise cancelling; and the other set is wireless with noise cancelling. Now I started doing real comparisons. The JVCs are light and surprisingly comfortable, and as I said earlier, they still manage to stay attached to the head without undue pressure. And they are actually sturdier than I first considered them to be. I also said earlier that these headphones seem cavernous. My other headphones have the drivers right up against my ears while these have the drivers farther from the ears. This might explain the voices in music seeming distant, soft, and indistinct in some songs. Using the “clear” setting did not totally alleviate this symptom. Finally, I downloaded and used the app and was able to improve the sound considerably. I didn’t hold much hope for success at first because there are only three points from 20hz to 20,000hz that you can adjust from. But you can also affect the steepness of curve, and that makes the difference. Now the JVC’s sound was more comparable with my similarly priced headphones and could even give the more expensive ones in my collection a little competition. The bass was better controlled now, with more detail in the midrange. Voices were audible and clear, and the echo was minimized. With some more tweaking, I may get the snap of the drums to sound more realistic. Overall, these turned out to be an adequate set of headphones. I wish I could give them a better rating, but one shouldn’t have to tinker with so many settings in order to make these headphones sound reasonably good. Depending on the friend, I can recommend these headphones. Unfortunately, for other friends these will fall short for their refined sonic tastes. So…a qualified recommendation for everyday use for those who enjoy tinkering to get the best possible sonic experience. I tested these as headphones to listen to music of all genres from classical to jazz to rock to pop …not really for phone use, which I did not test. Pros-lightweight yet surprisingly sturdy; comfortable to wear even for glasses wearers; they stay attached to the head without being uncomfortably tight; three tone settings with an additional three custom options for tone controls; adequate musical reproduction; very long battery life; average noise cancelling performance; clearly marked left and right sides; holds previous settings after being turned off. Cons-voices can seem muted; wired response is not loud enough--Bluetooth performs better; one has to tinker with the controls in the app to get the best performance from these headphones; charging cord should be longer; packaging is a throw away-a carrying case would be a nice bonus.

Comfort with an Incredible Lightweight Design - JVC's hybrid noise-cancelling headphones are lightweight and feature construction and design that are great for comfort and all-day usage. The pads on the ear tips provide terrific comfort. The technology to block ambient noise and to enjoy an uninterrupted audio experience is pretty solid for a product in this price range. There are customizable audio modes: normal, bass, and clear. With the option to further personalize your audio experience via the JVC app. Rechargeable battery boasts a 35-hour playtime with noise cancelling activated when charged fully. A detachable 3.5mm cable makes it possible to enjoy music on a stereo or other devices that still feature this kind of connection. The biggest elements unfortunately working against this product is lack of high-quality audio and a muffled sound. These headphones seemed to work fine for TV viewing and podcast listening. Notably this product lacks a carrying case. While these headphones are fine for listeners on a budget and the average music listener, however those wanting to experience the best of hi-res lossless audio or a good pair of headphones to plug into a stereo will be sorely disappointed.

Nice Noise Cancelling, Wireless Headphones! - The JVC Over-the-Ear, Noise Cancelling, Wireless HAS95NB Headphones are comfortable and provide great sound. Following are my observations after testing and using them: - In the box you receive the headphones, a detachable cable for wired use, a USB charging cable and instructions. - They are very easy to get started with and use. Just power them on, look for them on your phone under Bluetooth devices and they easily connect. I was using them within a couple minutes of taking them out of the box. - They are nice looking headphones and very lightweight, making them comfortable to wear. I have worn them all day at work and they felt good all day long. While lightweight, they feel like they are solidly made. - There are on-ear controls. The left ear has a power button, the charging port and the cable port for wired use. The right ear has a volume toggle switch, a multi-function button and noise cancelling button. The multi-function button allows you to play/pause, forward, reverse, activate voice assistant, switch between three sound modes (flat, bass, clear), and perform typical phone call functions. The noise cancelling button allows you to switch back and forth between noise cancelling and ambient sound. The buttons are all easy to find while wearing the headphones, right on the bottom of the ear pieces and intuitive to use. - On a full charge the battery provides 50 hours of playtime. It takes around 3 hours for a full charge when the battery is depleted. - I tested these headphones with a variety of music - loud and soft, hard rock, soft, acoustic, male and female singers. It all sounded very good. As mentioned, there are three sounds modes - flat, bass and clear. The Flat mode is as you would expect, where highs and lows are even. The Bass mode provided a nice, noticeable boost to the bass line with no distortion. I tend to like my music bass heavy, and the bass mode sounds great. The Clear mode seems bright and more treble oriented. I thought they all sounded good and I switched back and forth depending on the music I was listening to. It is easy to switch between the three modes with the multi-function button. - The noise cancelling feature works very well. It's nice to have the option to switch between ambient sound and noise cancelling, as there are times when both come in handy. The noise cancelling feature does a nice job of blocking out external noise, without changing the sound of the music. - These headphones do not come with any kind of case. While they swivel to lay flat, they do not fold up. While these are wireless and noise-cancelling, I would have liked to see them fold up into a small case to make them easier to travel with. - There is no App to connect these headphones to. On one hand, I like the fact that you can just connect via the phone Bluetooth feature. However, without an App, you don't get some of the extra features that are often offered in an App, such as an equalizer you can customize, a visual of battery life, online instructions, the ability to do firmware updates, etc. Overall, the most important part of headphones is the sound and I felt these JVC headphones delivered great sound. They are lightweight, attractive, comfortable, and have a long battery life. There is a lot to like about these headphones. If portability for travel is important to you, the lack of a case and the ability to fold may be a problem. I recommend these headphones.

Amazing headphones with some tweaking - These JVC headphones are extremely comfortable to wear during road trios, flights and even just relaxing on the couch. Pros: High Quality Materials Extremely Comfortable materials Active Noise Cancelling Crystal Clear Sound Cons: Active Noise Cancellation still allows outside noises to be audible Oddity: High volumes could notice slight distortion in sound reproduction but needs the App to Fix Review: The JVC HAS95NB headphones come with the promise of Active noise canceling aspects as well as long battery life of upwards of 50 hours of usage. Once I unboxed the headset I was greeted with a very sleek pair of head[phones that felt very sturdy in my hands. The materials feel like memory foam over molded plastic and metal as there is some weight to them but nothing that could cause fatigue since they are around 8oz when I weighed them. I was able to quickly download the app and mess around with the sounds settings for the EQ which helped with the sound production in the headphones. The headphones connected to my devices quickly via Bluetooth but also has a 3.m mm option if you need that method as well. The Bass function is what i would call lacking if anything at high levels which noticed a distortion in sound reproduction. I was able to increase its production somewhat to a manageable level in the app. My testing included using classical music, rock and EDM music and enjoyed the sound reproduction through these different genres. I used them over a 1 week period and had to charge them once as the battery life without the ANC function on lasted for almost 2 full days. While the ANC function cause the headphones to drain in just over 1 day of usage. Conclusion: If you are looking for a lightweight pair of headphones that wont make you break the bank, the JVC HAS95NB fit the bill. Just get the app to unlock their full potential or you will not have the ability to adjust the EQ modes to bring them to life.

Light and Comfortable Over the Ear Phones - These JVC over-the-ear headphones seem to be a contender for competing with much more expensive brands. I was surprised at the sound quality of these and how similar the design was to some others I have. They charged quickly with a USB-C cable (included) and paired on the first try with a PC and an Android phone. I found these to be very comfortable, and had no trouble listening for a couple hours non-stop without any sweaty ears. They seem light and airy, but the noise cancelling function worked perfectly--knocking out about 90% of all the noise in the room including the TV. The sound quality was very good--as good as two others I have costing almost twice what these do. Nice crisp highs, wide mid-range and deep unmuffled bass. You can also use a standard 3.5mm audio cable and connect these to a PC or phone or other device and listen without the wireless function, I thought they sounded even better this way. But who wants to be tethered when you can be free of the wires. These are nice headphones.

Great mid-priced headphones with noise cancelling! - The JVC model HAS95NB are hybrid noise cancelling headphones. These headphones are lightweight and unlike some fit my entire ear comfortably inside the cushion cavity. The headband has 2 spots that expand and contract allowing a perfect fit for me. The earpieces tilt to fit your facial features and also swivel like disk jockey headphones. They come with a USB charging cable and a stereo mini plug for wired use. The stated battery life is 50 hours using Bluetooth with noise cancellation off and 35 hours using noise cancellation. The headphones provide nice clear sound both ways on phone calls. There are only 4 control buttons: power; a volume up/down rocker; a multi-function button which scrolls through tone settings, voice assistant and audio play/pause/skip functions and the noise cancellation/ambient sound button. I was surprised to find that while listening to most audio the noise cancelling options are only for it to be on or the ambient sound mode (which allows outside sound in). There is an off option while using the phone but not for the other audio. These headphones are quite comfortable for long listening sessions. There are 3 tone settings, flat, bass and clear. With my android phone, these headphones provide plenty of volume. I have found many listening devices unable to provide a loud enough signal for my taste. I have yet to have to turn the volume up to the max. I tested the noise cancelling in a loud club and it really did well. The only time I tend to use noise cancelling is in planes. The sound quality is great and it's nice to be able to use the voice assistant hands free. These are great mid-priced headphones.

Awesome! - Specs These wireless noise-cancelling headphones are lightweight and boast premium sound quality, long lasting battery life, and crystal-clear voice calls. Pros These headphones are great for on-the-go use as they are lightweight and foldable. The cushion forms a comfortable seal around the ear. There are three different sound mode functions to easily customize each song with the press of a single button: normal, bass, and clear. There are also hybrid noise-cancelling, wind-cut, and ambient sound modes. The max battery life with no noise-cancelling features used is around 50 hours, while adding noise-cancelling features drops it down to about 35 hours. This is still great battery life (coming from someone who regularly forgets to charge their electronics). Even the charging time of 3 hours is solid for the battery life you get in return. If wireless isn’t your thing, a detachable cable is usable and included. Cons I don’t have any cons for this item! Maybe that they are a little warm to wear after a while, but that is expected with over-the-ear headphones. Conclusion This is a great item for the price point as I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less features from bigger name brands. I use them regularly at the gym and although they make me a little warm, it is completely worth it to not worry about readjusting or losing my earbuds every 2 minutes.
