2013-06-14
I'm David karna a executive editor for cnet.com and I'm going to give you a quick tour of another dirt-cheap in your headphone the JBC gummy plus which can be had online for around seven dollars this model comes in a variety of colors and while there's nothing fancy about it's all plastic construction it's an attractive looking earphone it's also lightweight and comfortable like the top-selling Panasonic Peugeot Fit rph GE 1:20 there's sort of a hybrid earphone part hard earbud like your basic Apple earbud and part soft bud they come with three different size silicone ear tips at this price you're more apt to see a hard buddy your phone but being able to jam the soft tips in your ears helps with sound isolation and maximizes it the bass output I was able to get a tight seal with the largest of the year tips and they stayed in my ear as well as you might expect from a seven dollar headphone there's nothing in the way of extras no inline and remote / microphone for making cell phone calls or any sort of carrying case overall the gummy plus is a pleasant sounding earphone for the money and an excellent bargain the bass isn't huge but it's relatively tight the treble isn't quite as smooth there's a touch of harshness but that's a minor quibble the sound compares favorably to many earphones in the twenty five to thirty five dollar range though these guys didn't offer as details sound as the $50 Clips s3m I put them up against comparing this to other dirt cheap headphones I'd say the Panasonic hje 120 sounds a touch better but the one drawback of that model is that it's thinner cord has a tendency to get tangled while this one doesn't and if you're a bass lover you might be more satisfied with I love citylights earphones however it's hard to go wrong with any of these models at such a low price point I'm David Carr noise and that's the dirt cheap gummy plus in your headphone thanks for watching
