I bought these as a backup pair, because you can never have enough earphones. I have all kinds, most inexpensive, but I did get pixel a-series buds which are just $100. Those are pretty good, they feel secure, connects ez, clear sound, etc., but they not very loud in comparison to these. In fact I would that these deliver just as clear sound, but have bigger sound and bass than premium earbuds. Same for apple airpods. These can’t make phone calls, but I dont care about that. The only real advantage some high price earbud is the storage case also holds a charge as well. These it seems the storage case must be plugged in to recharge your buds. The play time seems last a few hours, at least definitely long enough. All I can say is JVC most of the time delivers a very good quality to affordability ratio. Expensive doesn’t mean better. They also could’ve included a better instructions manual but its ez enough.

This is a light weight super small headphones unlike some of the true wireless headphones which have a long stem coming out. Its small and yet for the price the sound is impressive. Its IPX4 (Rain Proof) and comes in different colors.
Pros
—–
1. Price – its inexpensive and its value for money.
2. Compact and light weight.
3. Instant connection.
4. Bluetooth 5.1 stable connection.
5. Decent mic for zoom calls.
Cons
——
Battery life is low 15H (6H + 9H)
Build Quality
—————–
Its tiny and lightweight and it fits my small ears very well without fatigue. It include 3 pairs of silicone ear tips, make sure you put the right one on for a good fit. They are built pretty good and the case is small as well, fits well in your pocket.
Sound and Mic
———————
Although its small, its got an impressive sound quality. Its balanced and not tinny. It does not have the thumping bass as that of the Jabra 75t but it’s not that pricy either so its unfair to compare both.
I would compare this to the sound core neo and they are a good match.
Overall for the price, it is good buy.

The sound quality is decent and they are truly wireless. Considering their price point, I understand some of the differences between these and a pair that are much higher. The controls require actually pushing in the earbud and clicking it so many times depending on the function you require. To get them to hold well, you really need to get them deep in the ear and hope you don’t have sweaty ears. The identification of left or right is a little hard to see, but just keep in mind the JVC logo faces up and your ear canal angles forward.
Battery life is about 5 hours and you can charge them in the case two more times giving you about 15 hours of use without plugging them in again. On some true wireless sets you can extend the continuous use by swapping earbuds and using one at a time, however, this set is locked to the left earbud for Bluetooth connection as well as the only microphone. So, it is left or both for usage and down time while they charge in the case.
Overall, if you just want a true wireless headset for when you’re doing something less than 5 hours, these aren’t bad on the pocket.

For ear buds that retail at $29.99, they are a great find and value.
They have good sound and bass, and ample volume. They also fit well in my ears and do not fall out like other brands I have tried. If these go on sale for less than $29.99, I recommend them.

JVC really hit the mark with the Gumy Minis here. I must recognize the stable connection (that I have been disappointed with regarding my more expensive earbuds recently). One of the FEW earbud sets that actually stays in my ears no matter how active I am! One thing to note:
Left side = volume control & play-pause
Right side = Track advancement as well as play-pause. I didn’t want to read the instructions so I just found this out on my own.
Another plus is they upgraded to a USBC port, so I can use any of my chargers with it.
My only con is that the bass and sound quality isn’t as “amazing” as I’d like, especially as a hobby musician, but definitely acceptable, solid, and well worth the affordable price tag.
All in all, These do the job and will will be a solid choice for for a preteen gift idea or eveb somebody who doesn’t care about the bells and whistles and just wants a dependable set of ear buds. These are the real deal.

These JVC Gumy Mini Buds are certainly budget bud. The case is made of matte black fingerprint-resistant plastic. It is a bit bulky in the pocket but still light. The case closes tightly and keeps the buds inside securely. I do wish the lid would stay up though, but it is just a small nitpick.
The buds fit well in my small-medium ears, but I did experience some slight soreness after 5 hours or so. JVC included 3 tip sizes for best seal and fit. They’re IPX4, so rain or sweat won’t be a problem. The Gumy Mini are not ANC, which is expected at this price, but the gel tips work well enough to block sound with minimal leakage.
The battery lasted about 5 hours in one use at 70% volume, which is decent. The case is supposed to add 9 more. The case is charged through USB-C, and there is no Qi wireless charging option, which is not a big deal at this price.
Interestingly, these buds are Bluetooth 5.1, paired up effortlessly with both my Android, iOS tablet, and Nintendo Switch. I was able to keep a connection at decent distances, and there was no lag or hiccups when watching videos or playing games. They automatically connect, but there is no multi-point option.
Everything from playback to volume is done through the buds, which is better than some buds that are 5 times more expensive. The touchpads work OK, although I did have some misses.
The sound signature is leaning more on mainstream music listening, as it is bass-focused with the treble slightly pushed up. There is some midrange but is dipped somewhat. At higher volumes, it can get a bit distorted with some sibilance as well. Still, I found the sound enjoyable when casually listening to music, video, or podcasts. There is no app support, or EQ presets. for those who care about customization.
The Gumy Minis are one of the best “budget” true wireless buds out there, hands down. They tackle the most important features and sound signature and are a fantastic value. Excellent as starter buds, backups, gifts, or even daily drivers. Plus, the color options are wonderful.

Simply put, these earbuds are the last pair of bluetooth you should ever consider, when thinking of purchasing true wireless earbuds. The earbuds and case are pretty small, which can be both good and bad. The sound quality is good,but not compared to many at this price range. The battery life is the real killer here(5hr + 2 charges). For the price, JVC needs to add more to this. I don’t even want to put the USB in this review, because hopefully, it will be lowered at the time you are reading this. The earbuds fit well enough in the ear canal, but I’ve been blessed with that universal ear lobe, but there are two more sets of gummies inside( on a paper ring,mind you.) I understand that they were going for minimalistic, but again, at the price, it just needs to be better. These are very low-end set of over-priced bluetooth earbuds. These are $15-$20 earbuds at best or worst, depending on who you ask. I say these are a pass. I don’t recommend these for anyone at this price.

Incredible value – got these for my 16 year old niece, who loves them. Decided I needed a pair as well. JVC is a trusted brand, and despite the low price point, this product delivers a look, feel, quality and sound that satisfies. Good purchase.
