## Description

The JVC HAS160 FLATS are stylish, compact headphones with a slim 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 HAS160 Flats come in six iPod matching colors: black, silver, red, purple, blue and pink. The headphones come with a four-foot (1.2m) cord and an iPhone -compatible plug. Frequency Response - 12-24,000Hz.

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.
Review: comfortable now - JVC Flats review. These are nice headphones, very light. Minimalist folding phones. The sound quality is excellent. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Even small and light phones like these will inevitably cause ear pain for me after extended use unless they are modified to relax the clamping pressure somewhat. When new, and lying flat, the bottoms of the two ear cans meet or even overlap. I stretched the sides of the top steel band slightly (past yield) and observed the headphone in lying flat position. When there was about 1" open gap between the bottom of the ear cans I found clamping pressure much reduced, the headphone much more comfortable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific, affordable headphones that are very useful for mobility and sound great. HOWEVER...
*by J***F on August 15, 2019*

They break incredibly easily, due to not being designed sturdily enough where the headphones themselves connect to the part that goes over the top of your head. I've owned several pairs of these exact headphones, and they all have broken at some point or another because of an overly weak/thin piece of plastic that holds the metal part together. The metal isn't sharp, but it's a nuisance to have to tape the headphones back together or otherwise deal with one of the headphones often falling off of the plastic part that goes over your head if you are walking around with the headphones around your neck, for example. These headphones do break at the point where you adjust them very easily, and the pair I most recently bought here actually managed to break within the first month. Because of that it might seem very strange that I'm leaving a 4 star review, but I think these headphones are absolutely terrific for basic consumer use in literally every other way. The fact that they fold to be flat makes them very easy to transport and store. The sound quality is very good, and there's a pretty decent range of frequencies. They can also handle a good amount of bass. I can listen to metal/rock with a bass boost and it sounds great while keeping the higher frequencies clear and audible. And the headphones are just really easy to move around with/take on trips and that sort of thing. I give them a 4/5 because they are really great in almost every way, and they are my go-to make for affordable headphones... I just wouldn't expect them to stay in one piece for very long.
