Designed with a durable stainless steel adjustable headband and soft ear pads, they provide excellent noise isolation and comfort for extended use. Compact and travel-friendly, these headphones are perfect for professionals seeking high-quality audio and portability in a stylish black finish. ## Description The JVC Flats are stylish, compact headphones with a slim metallic headband and sleek, soft ear pads that rest on the ear. The earpieces pivot so that the headphone can lie flat, making them ideal for listeners who want a lightweight, easily packable headphone, but who prefer a headband/on-the-ear style. A 30mm Neodymium driver in each earpiece allows the headphones to deliver clear, crisp sound. And the soft ear pads further enhance sound quality by providing a seal against ambient sound. The JVC Flats come in six iPod matching colors: black, white, red, violet, blue and pink. The headphones come with a four-foot (1.2m) cord and an iPhone-compatible plug. Review: Shouldn't sound or feel this good for $13 ( PortaPro alternative ) - I bought these along with the somewhat coveted JLabs Rewind ( gen 2 ) Bluetooth headphones. I bought both because I've been looking for something that won't cause me physical ear fatigue or hurt immediately upon wearing. I REALLY wanted to love the JLabs because they offer something that the JVC Flats cannot.... No wires. I LOATHE wires. That said. I will take the cables on these JVC Flats ANY day of the week because of what they offer over the JLabs Rewind. Before I state what that is exactly, let me just say that the JLabs are about as comfortable as the JVC Flats. Maybe more... But not quite, without modifications. I'll explain, because it's relevant. I have small ears. And small ear canals. This is why I can't wear in-ear buds for too long, and is also why certain headphones hurt my ears or skull, depending upon how where and how they sit on my head and ears. It's a freaking curse. I started looking for headphones where one of the main selling points is being lightweight and comfortable. Both these JVC'S and JLabs seemed to fit the bill when looking at their descriptions and reviews. So, I bought both. I went into buying the JVC Flats knowing there was no mic or volume control, which I am actually fine with. So I won't ding ding a star for it. What I wasn't expecting from the JVC Flats though.... Was how freaking good the sound quality would be! I have had several pairs of JVC marshmallow in ears, and now that I think about it, those sounded great, and are like fifteen bucks, so... Maybe I shouldn't be surprised? I should not that I also primarily wanted these for podcasts. But when I heard the JVC Flats, I put on some music and was kind of floored. They instantly reminded me of Koss PortaPros, but with a tad more forward low and mid bass, maybe? I used the PortaPros A LOT in my 20s and 30s and am now 53, so I've lost frequency range throughout the years. And they're LOUD! I don't need them to be this loud, but this is a terrible issue with the JLabs Rewind. They're incredibly low. Maybe lower voltage to increase battery life, but it's horrible. I'd have to put the volume to about 85% on the JLabs for basic, comfortable listening levels, whereas with these JVC'S, it's about 40% or less. Fantastic. And again, loud means nothing if it's loud and garbage. These are loud and clear with no real bass mushiness even at uncomfortably loud levels. Crystal clear. Awesome. They fit snug on my ears, and the ear pads are cushy and fairly soft. The outer layer is that faux leather material that always seems to eventually tear on headphones, so we'll see on that one.... My only wish is that the actual driver housing was a TAD wider because while the driver seems to be positioned perfectly against my ear canal, the housing edges kind of hit the edges of my ear, causing some minor discomfort. Someone with normal, non-freakishly small ears, (which is most people), won't be bothered by this I guess. What else. The head band, even though it has no padding, is barely noticeable. Likely due to how light the frame is. The band adjustment gives you a really pleasing tactile single groove click when adjusting. Nice touch. I might give the JLabs a slight win in comfort, but ONLY if changing the foam pads on them, to something more foamy/cushy and soft. As they are, the JLabs driver housing is very rigid and my ears really feel that. If I kept them, I'd modify them with some extra foam. Otherwise, they're lighter than the JVC 's with a smaller earpiece frame. I might actually try to modify these JVC ear ups to make them wider. I'll likely also buy a few spare sets because this pair is a gem. Great job JVC. If there's one negative thing I can say about them, it's that they're not being made with USB-C instead of just the 3.5mm input plug. I hate having to use dongles. I already had one, but I hate cables as it is, so.... Anyway, if you're cool with cables, don't have freak ears, and want something super comfortable and want very good sound quality at a STEAL of a price...( Get a few now before the tariffs double their price), GET THESE! P.S. PortaPros are more detailed and have better soundstage. But for $13 bucks, these are the ONES to beat. Review: Comparing three lightweight "comfortable" models - I have been on a search for over the ear or on-ear headphones that when used with a laptop sound good, are not expensive, and (here's the big eliminator) are comfortable to wear. I am going to compare 4 phones which are readily available: Panasonic RP- HT 21 (current prices as of 4/12 - $4.49), Koss Portapro ($18.72), JVC HA-S160-B ($14.23) and AKG K240 (4.5) ($93.90) The AKG's were to be used as a sound benchmark. I listen mostly to classical music, soundtracks, and jazz. I used the following music: Katsarsis playing the Kreisler Praeludium, Rattle and the LA Philharmonic doing the adagio from Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony, and von Karajan and the Berlin doing the opening of Strauss's Thus Sprach Zarathustra. The phones were powered only by a laptop because that is what most people will use lightweight phones for (that or other small listening devices) For that reason the AKG's were not a good choice because it could not reach even moderately high sound levels from my Toshiba laptop. The sound was super smooth on the AKG's but the lightweights were more compatible with the laptop. The Panasonics sound good with mid range music, like the Kreisler piano music, but their weakness showed in the Strauss. They could not handle the complex, loud tones with any finesse. I give the JVC's a small edge sonically over the Koss's overall because while they both handled detail and loud volume about the same, the JVC showed a bit more reality in the music. By that I mean, e.g., horns sounded more like horns and not synthesized sound. Both Koss and JVC allowed you to hear the decay and space in the Strauss opening. Now, on to comfort. The Panasonics are very small and light and one can wear them for a long time without even noticing them. The Koss's have a clumsy headband, and I found the pressure on the ear uncomfortable after 15 minutes or so. The JVC's, which use a simple headband, were almost as comfortable as the Panasonics. The AKG's, like many over the ear phones, started becoming oppressive after 15 minutes. Note: I have a large head and this comfort level assessment may not be true for people with smaller noggins. I would use the Panasonics for times when they might receive heavy handling, such as when commuting on public transportation. They are cheap (and a real bargain) so damage will not be costly. The Koss were just a bit too clumsy to use - Koss needs to abandon its weird headband design. The JVCs were a clear choice for everyday listening with smaller devices. I think the AKG's just need a real amplifier to power them. In short, I thought the JVC's were a clear winner in this bargain/comfort category. ## Features - Frequency Response - 12-24,000Hz - Impedance - 32ohms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004JRYLG4 | | Additional Features | Microphone Included, Noise Cancellation | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Music, Travel, Calling | | Audio Driver Size | 30 millimeters | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,037 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #142 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand | JVC | | Brand Name | JVC | | Built-In Media | See Specs | | Cable Features | Tangle Free | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Cellphones | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 10,066 Reviews | | Ear Placement | On Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Flat on-ear | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 12-24,000Hz | | Frequency Response | 24000 hertz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046838045578 | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Impedance | 32 ohm | | Input-Device Interface | Audio jack | | Item Weight | 66 g | | Manufacturer | JVC | | Mfr Part Number | HAS160B | | Model Number | HAS160B | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Noise Control Features | sound_isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Style Name | No Mic | | Theme | Stylish Technology | | UPC | 809187153345 100177499284 031112955568 053786042979 172302878837 659223157185 079531801097 055555561438 071020385507 172304196328 807031788019 012300172899 853585129617 803982929365 999993369426 001910134915 052778851070 012301853490 767887438233 100012616777 468380455788 163121084462 012303910603 601000775846 971471463512 163120298013 151903067321 014444938911 763615879040 115970921634 0311115577… | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Please contact the Manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Sans-fil | ## Product Details - **Brand:** JVC - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** On Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 32 ohm ## Images ![HAS160B FLATS Lightweight Headband Headphones (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Al6UVveLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How comfortable are these for wearing all day during the work on my desk?** A: comfortable.

I bought these headphones for $10, and these are the best cheap headphones ever!!! I usually get skullcandy in-ear buds for everyday use, but in-ear buds fall out from time to time, or do not have the same effect of over-ear headphones, so I made a $10 budget for some over-ear headphones. Looked on every site, at every brand, and finally decided on some JVC Flats 'cause of the great reviews I saw everywhere. I was NOT disappointed, and these headphones went completely over my expectations!!! They are lightweight, but surprisingly don't feel as cheap as I would have expected them to be. The cushions are light and do the job, and I don't even notice them after I put them on (meaning they are super comfortable). The cable is long and sturdy, considering all the yanking it goes through. Same for the plastic: sturdy, and does not crack or chip. The headband is adjustable and is not loose in any way or form. Absolutely perfect. The sound is better than the skullcandy in-ear buds. I hear the base so clearly and smoothly. From time to time I will hear the treble slightly too much then wanted, but it is NOT an issue. The speakers are clear (not muffled) and wonderful :D. I have had these for months now, and I will NEVER go back to any other headphones (unless they discontinue them, which I hope never ever happens)! I will keep my $150 Axent Wear headphones, or these bad boys with me from now on. BUY THESE HEADPHONES.
