@hchavers Of course your wife doesn’t sweat. Women don’t. My very proper mother always told me “Horses sweat. Men perspire. Women glow.” Since I just ordered these, I’m hoping they are glow resistant.
@ws1o
It’s not in Adobe Illustrator format, that’s “.ai”. The “ia” file format is proprietary to the Old Ones, and is bound with a curse to cause madness in anyone who reads it.
@dagirlgenius: Then you’ve never sweated much. Sweat collects in most ears.
Reviews are unanimous about the crappy battery life - about an hour, according to some. Hard pass. I’d rather have one worth $18 than three not worth $6.
It’s a brand you’ve heard of before, so that’s not bad
Except “JVC” is a baby-step away from shilled legacy brands like Westinghouse, Sylvania, Honeywell, etc… is that good? The once innovative company that developed VHS video tape technology is long gone.
@RedOak
Yep. Every bit as much of a reliable indicator of quality as seeing the Kawasaki brand on car radios, drill bits, and other paste-on-label stuff.
I ordered this 3 pack. The first set I opened only worked once. No light comes on when I try to charge it. My phone does not see it when I try to pair it.
I’m on the second set and I have used them twice. So far so good.

How many ears do you think I have?
Clearly I’ve been working out wrong…I’ve never broken a sweat in my ears.
My wife does not sweat. So, will these work on smug perspiration too?

-laughs in Florida-
@PooltoyWolf Laughs until summer
@jmbunkin @PooltoyWolf Laughs until hurricane season.
@jmbunkin @phendrick @PooltoyWolf
Laughs from a reasonably safe distance.
(I escaped from Miami in 1981.)
Maybe now my wife will let me have my wireless earbuds back.
/giphy jittery-late-protest
I see a wire…
Might have been interested. But I see JVC put a heavy controller on only side.
Could we maybe just get one picture of the actual part that actually sticks in your actual ear please
Some online reviews say battery life is poor. But I figure with 3, I can always have 1 on the charger.
@RetreadNJ Maybe meh will include replacement batteries left over from the Trackers.
@RetreadNJ @stinks
Different battery.
@RetreadNJ @werehatrack Dammit.
/giphy close though right?
Manual is in Adobe Illustrator (.ia) format…what good is that?

I looked it up on the JVC web site, the control pod part has a little hatch you open to connect a USB cable to charge it
Why do you need a 3-pack?
@britown To improve the odds you get at least one that works.
On the other hand, am I the only one bothered by a 3-pk on Two-fer Tuesday?
I don’t know why I need 3 of these. But I need at least one. My experience with BT headphones has been poor, whether they were cheap or expensive.

@IAmBroom ONE HOUR? Who cares how sweat resistant they are if you can’t work out long enough to work up a proper sweat.

I am VERY disappointed between the time I ordered these, and the time it was prepared for shipping! shipping “progress”
