In the $50 or less category, I think these are the best bluetooth earbuds you can find. In fact, they compare well until you start getting into the $75-100 range, at which point I'd recommend JBL's. Without considering cost, I'd rate them four stars, but considering price these are absolutely 5 stars for their tremendous value!
The first thing I noticed is that the earbuds are held in the case, and the case secured in the closed position, by magnets - a nice premium touch I wasn't expecting. No loose/rattling earbuds, or cheap feeling plastic snaps!
My first impression listening to them was the great clarity. These didn't sound veiled, as many less-expensive headphones do, but rather you can hear the fine details, and vocals especially came to life. Yet, importantly, cymbals and such highs are never shrill/painful.
I'd characterize the sound signature as warm and natural, as these aren't thin or dull sounding, but neither bass or treble heavy. Overall, they're simply well balanced. They're enjoyable to listen to without changes, but as is usually the case, I prefer their sound after some minor EQ adjustments. I like sound better after enabling the "Tube Amp Pro" setting on my Galaxy S9, or increasing the bass by a notch if on a phone without that setting. In this case, I think it's more tuning them to my preference than trying to overcome some deficiency in the headphones.
My music taste is centered around rock, and that's a genre in which these phones shone. They also sounded great with jazz, classical, and other instrument and vocal based music. These don't have as much punch in the very low bass range as I'm used to from IEM's, so before making EQ adjustments rap and electronic music left a bit to be desired. I'm not sure if that's common among bluetooth earbuds, being limited in space and power compared to wire headphones, or specific to these. Regardless, they sound far better than Earpods/Airpods, and every non-IEM style pair of earbuds I've ever used. These JVC's sound nearly as good as my Klipsch S4's, while costing less and being wireless!
As far as range, I haven't tested them to the limit, but I did walk across the room a few times (about 12 ft/4m) and there wasn't any breakup in the sound. I was a bit worried as I saw a review mention range problems, but from my experience that isn't an issue. These headphones have Bluetooth 5.0, and if your phone does too you'll be fine. Older Bluetooth versions had much shorter range (and sound quality limitation), so in the case you don't have a bluetooth 5.0 device to use these with... I wouldn't suggest bluetooth earbuds in the first place.
I haven't had these very long, enough to run many cycles, but getting 3.5-4 hrs of battery life seems to put these around average for bluetooth earbuds. I'll update this review if the battery (or something else) starts to be an issue.
I'm surprised by how secure they feel, though if you're working out or moving a lot you'll probably want a set of "sport" earbuds for that extra security. As far as comfort - they feel like basically every other IEM. The buds might be a little heavier, but they also aren't holding wires, so it works to roughly the same sensation. I think these, like IEM's in general, are extremely comfortable. I don't really feel much of anything after putting them in. I like the "marshmallow" foam tips that come pre-installed, but these come with the more conventional silicon ones too (5 sets in total).
Pairing was simple, but the Ikea-style pictorial instructions aren't as easy to understand as written instructions. The physical buttons are kind of awkward to use when they're in your ear, so I usually just control them from my phone. Pleantly, the size of both the earbuds and case were smaller than I expected from the pictures.
Lastly, these are made and backed by an established, reputable manufacturer. I looked around at many options before buying, and there appears to be a plethora of off-brand bluetooth earbuds, many just rebranded versions of the same generic models you can find on Alibaba. You may be able to get those for less, but for sound quality, build quality, ease of use, and longevity I'd strongly suggest going with these (or another respected brand).
Overall, I highly recommend these if you're looking for a set of bluetooth earbuds around $50 - or even up to around $75.

Prefer it over Air Pods
Out of the box there are 2 earbuds, a charging case with cable, 2 pairs of memory foam tips, and 3 rubber tips.Wearing the earbuds was light and comfortable. I immediately tried the 2 pairs of memory foam tips but ended up prefering the rubber tips for listening and comfort.After reading other reviews, I noticed the complaint of the bass lacking. I believe the reason is that the sound profile built into the ear buds are relatively flat unlike other earbuds boosting bass straight out of the box. To counter this, I adjusted my sound equalizer and used rubber tips instead of foam tips. Now, I am satisfied across the spectrum.I do not regret buying this. I tried Air Pods before and comparing to the JVC I admit the clarity across the spectrum is slightly better and they feel more comfortable for my ears. Best of all, this costs significantly less without sacrificing much. For improvements, a smaller case and touch buttons would of been nice.
