Description:

Jensen's JM10 stereo headphones provide convenience, durability, and comfort at an affordable price--but, like most portable equipment, they lack excellence in sound quality.

Using large, 40mm elements (speaker drivers); a strong and flexible rubber headband; and stylish, pivoting earcups, the lightweight JM10s will fit just about any head and rest easily against your ears. The compact design lets you stash them in a pocket or briefcase without risk of breakage. A single wire from the left earcup alleviates wire-knotting, a common flaw in designs where each earphone is separately wired. A clippable level-control mechanism (up, down, or off) frees you from needing immediate access to your listening device, letting you tuck your portable cassette, MiniDisc, CD, or MP3 player into a backpack, purse, or pocket. An included 1/4-inch adapter fosters listening from component audio sources such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, and some DVD machines.

We found the sound of the JM10s to be mellow and unfatiguing, though these characteristics result in part from a limited frequency range and a pronounced boost in the upper-bass region. If you're tired of tiny, tinny headphones, and are seeking an easy, go-anywhere headset that won't disintegrate midway through your next plane flight, the JM10s will serve you just fine.

Pros:

  • Lightweight
  • Durable and flexible headband
  • Well-designed volume control

Cons:

  • Muddy sound
