Introduction
The JVC HA-M5Xs are a pair of relatively inexpensive over-ears that come packaged like most plastic toys do: in a clear plastic clamshell that is impossible to open without a knife.
Despite some disappointing audio quality results and a design more bland than cold porridge, these cans are quite comfortable to wear. With that in mind, they still perform leagues better than some of the other headphones we’ve reviewed in the past, included in our comparison sections.

Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
