JVC Gumy Plus HAFX5A
The 11mm dynamic driver and soft rubber body provide surprisingly effective passive noise isolation for a budget inner-ear design. Its lightweight build and included small, medium, and large silicone earpieces prioritize a secure, comfortable fit for extended wear. These headphones are best for casual listeners and students who need an affordable, durable wired backup pair with a standard 3.5mm plug.
