Product Description
The JVC HA-S160 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 HA-S160 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.

In actual use the phones exceeded my expectations - in all areas. Something I hadn't anticipated was their helpfulness in reducing the level of distracting ambient sounds. The ear pads are not so huge as to cover the ears entirely and their unobtrusive shape allowed them to be positioned comfortably either on or slightly off of the ear. That way I found that I could quickly and easily adjust how much outside sound to let in. I'd owned other cheap headphone units and they all broke fairly quickly under my ownership. Surprisingly, these JVCs were sturdy enough to last well over a year through a ritual of daily abuse (being crammed into and taken out of my heavily loaded backpack; with no protection for the phones whatsoever). The speakers swivel sideways to become somewhat compact so they've always acted like "compliant citizens" while in the pack. The point of failure was one of the black plastic pieces that rise above each speaker enclosures. That piece's function is to handle head-size adjustment by accommodating a sliding metal band into the top end, and also to hold a swivel on the bottom end where it meets the speaker enclosure. The piece is lightweight but sturdy plastic of some sort; but it eventually cracked under my abuse, the detented adjustment mechanism inside quit keeping the metal band in place. And eventually the plastic piece failed entirely & broke off completely. It would have needed some duct-tape/epoxy magic to keep it in service.
As a recently graduated student of audio/video production, I do not anticipate these as being accurate & precise enough for the professional reference applications that I'll be growing into as a professional (like mixing music and video post-production); but I think they might make a serviceable backup. And for me, a lifetime music lover and recent student of audio/video production, they've done the job admirably. I've never found any aspect of the units sound to be an issue when listening to sound effects and/or music of all styles. I hear a consistently clear and balanced sound that seems to cover the entire range of human hearing. And from some of the better classical recordings, I even think I can hear subtle 3D placement of instruments within the sound stage. I also hear nice clear stereo separation and time-based effects on modern pop and rock recordings. And when used with either Mac or PC at higher volumes, I've never heard any evidence of these gems being over driven - my ear drums have always complained before ever getting that far...
The JVC HAS160A Flat Headphones have found a place on my "practical lifestyle list" - for the price there's no reason not to always have a pair or two around. So I just purchased 2 more sets...
Dislikes: lacking somewhat in bass even with a headphone amp, can become uncomfortable after a few hours of use, no right angle 3.5mm jack(nice to have if you use a tablet, and a bluetooth keyboard with a tablet slot), no inline mic, not the most robust build.
These are a decent option if you need a low cost, lightweight set of on ear no frills headphones for medium to small ear sizes(not for kids as they are not volume limited), but do know they have no inline mic.
Also the build quality, comfort, and overall sound quality(a bit lacking in bass due to the smaller drivers) is not as good as compared to a pair of SONY MDR-ZX110( i own them with, and without mics), which are about at the same price point, and are only a bit more for the version with an inline mic.
Lastly when it comes to JVC wired headphones, and earbuds, I'd say go for the Gumy Plus earbuds over these with an inline mic(I own several pairs with, and without the mic), and mod them with memory foam aka comply foam eartips for a tighter seal to block out more nose, and better sound quality while being more comfortable than the stock silicone tips.
I added the iPhone adapter as well—pure gold!
