Designed with a durable stainless steel adjustable headband and soft ear pads, they offer excellent comfort and noise isolation. Ideal for professionals and commuters seeking high-quality audio in a compact, stylish package. ## 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 - CONVENIENT PORTABILITY: Enjoy the convenience of a flat foldable design, making these headphones your perfect travel companion; compact enough to easily slip into any bag, ensuring high-quality sound on-the-go. - EXCEPTIONAL AUDIO CLARITY: Immerse yourself in powerful sound with 1.18” (30mm) Neodymium driver units, delivering dynamic bass and crisp highs for a truly captivating listening experience. - COMFORT FOR EXTENDED USE: Soft earpads provide superior sound isolation and a comfortable fit, allowing you to enjoy prolonged listening sessions without discomfort. - NOISE ISOLATION: Experience enhanced concentration and privacy with soft ear-pads that effectively block ambient sound, transforming your surroundings into a sanctuary of silence; ideal for busy offices or noisy commutes. - ADJUSTABLE STEEL HEADBAND - Built to last with a rugged stainless-steel frame that adapts to your head size, offering a secure, comfortable fit and long-term durability for everyday use. ## 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 | #2,589 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #152 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 10,029 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 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Impedance | 32 ohm | | Item Weight | 66 g | | Manufacturer | JVC | | Model Number | HAS160B | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 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'm always surprised by the rave reviews that people post about the sound quality of entry level headphones. I don't know how many dozens of cheap headphones that I've purchased over the past decade (primarily for my children that seem to break or lose at least one set every few months), and you basically get what you pay for... sub-par sound quality. Having said that, I do think that the sound quality is slightly better than other headphones in a similar price range. You do get a pretty good bass punch, but it is also pretty sloppy bass that tends to muddy the sound a bit. Realistically, though, you're not going to get much cleaner, tighter bass until you get to the $100 range of headphones. I bought these headphones primarily so that i can watch Netflix as I run on my elliptical trainer, and for this purpose these headphones work very well. They are very attractive, and fold nicely to lay flat for packing into a backpack. They are also very lightweight and comfortable over the ears. I feel I could wear these for hours without being bothered by them at all, which is more than I can say for most of the over-the-ear headphones I've tried over the years. I am giving these headphones 4 stars because I don't think it's fair to compare them to much more expensive models. For a sub-$15 pair of headphones, it's hard to beat them. The sound quality is just as good as anything else you will find in this price range, and the sleek design and comfort put it toward the top of its class. I've just purchased a second pair for my daughter who is heading off to college. ## Frequently Bought Together - JVC Flats On-Ear Wired Headphones - Flat Foldable Design - 30mm Driver for Powerful Sound - Soft Ear-Pads for Comfort – Steel Headband - Lightweight & Portable - PC/Laptop/Gaming - 3.5mm Slim Plug - Maxell - 190319 Stereo Headphones - 3.5mm Cord with 6-Foot Length - Soft Padded Ear Cushions, Adjustable Headband for Comfort - Sleek, Lightweight, Wired for Reliable Connection – Black - Koss KPH7 Lightweight Portable Headphone, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1234045-has160b-flats-lightweight-headband-headphones-black](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1234045-has160b-flats-lightweight-headband-headphones-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
