As for messing with the EQ, I really only do it at times of running, and that's just so I have something to help me pace myself with.
I suggest making a set place for them that is "safe." Not putting them on them floor, dropping them, and the like will take you a long way.

JVC has never really had a good reputation in the recent past for making anything decent. Just like so many of the other brands out there, many of which are owned by Harman-Kardon, they follow the JBL policy: "Just Big and Loud."

I've tried and tried, but the last thing I want to do after running is put my headphones into/onto a table or something. I've just gotten to the point of putting my stereo headphones on my desk instead of throwing them onto the floor. :oops: (I'm rough with things.)

I do know people that swear by that name though, maybe they've gotten better.

I'm telling you, these babies are some of the most cost effective phones below $100 or even $50
