JVC HA-S160-R-E FLATS Lightweight Headphones - Red

I bought these headphones after reading the good reviews on Amazon... and also as they're a great red colour.These headphones for the price are just terrific. I have a few low cost headphones, including the brilliant Sennheiser HD201 Headphones, but I wanted headphones that looked okay (and didn't make me look like a bumblebee) wearing them going to/from work. These headphones look cool. They fit great, and are really comfortable to wear and don't slip off your head. They fold away flat too which is handy, and they have a sturdy cable that I think is just the right length - not too long.Sound wise - fantastic. A little more bass heavy than the 'neutral' Sennheiser HD201 Headphones, but not too bassy IMO. For just over a tenner you would be silly not to get a pair. I am buying another pair of a different colour - just because I can.I compared them with our boy's Dr Dre Beats. The sound definition maybe isn't just quite as tight and crisp ,and for sure looks wise, they just do not make the same statement, but as a listening experience they aren't a million miles away... And Good Grief, they are a ten times cheaper than Beats! Honestly - smashing wee cans. Do your ears a favour, get a pair.

What do would you expect for a pair of headphones under £8? Probably not much. But you'd be wrong.To start with the headphones are lightweight and comfortable. They fit quite snuggly over my ears and although there is some leakage of sound from outside, they are pretty good. Previously I'd had a pair of JVC noise cancelling headphones. These are nowhere as good, but the noise cancelling phones are at least 5x more expensive!The sound quality is pretty good too. We are talking lower end of the market, let me remind you under £8, so expectations have to be moderated.However, the treble and mid ranges are good, although I do pick some distortion on the bass range while listening to classical.Overall, for what I paid for them, and what I use them for, I'm delighted. If you need a pair of headphones that give a good listening experience without costing you the earth, give these a go. You might be pleasantly surprised.JVC HA-S160-R-E FLATS Lightweight Headphones - Red

If you're wondering whether the hype is justified about these cheap JVC headphones, it definitely is, they are that good. As for the fit, the comfort is no problem, and you will not really notice them on your head. They have a slightly flimsy build, but strong enough as long as you don't throw them around. Noise cancelling is fairly good also.I would describe the sound as being natural and warm, and a bit on the bassy side. The treble is not as pronounced, but that is not a bad thing as the treble on some cheap headphones can be shrill and irritating.If there is a negative, it is that I had to search for an EQ setting on my Samsung  phone to suit the majority of my music, as the default normal setting had a bit too much bass. I thus settled on the "pop" setting as it reduces the bass slightly while making the music sound clearer. Although I do switch back to default setting when listening to bass heavy music like RnB.I would say the JVC Flats are perfect for using round the house. If using outside, just , treat them carefully when throwing into a bag.For me, for less than £10 you cannot go wrong buying these headphones, even if you're just  buying them as an extra pair in addition to your existing cans. Apart from normal use I will use them to test against premium headphones, as I need to get a pair for sound monitoring and DJing - thinking of getting the Audio Tecnhica M50x, so would appreciate feedback on these.Don't think you will get any headphones as good at this price

I HAVE BOUGHT 5 OR 6 PAIRS OF THESE JVC H160 HEADPHONES BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY GOOD SOUND QUALITY BUT A LITTLE BIT FLIMSY BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER A YEAR OR SO THE SOUND ON ONE SIDE STOPS WORKING . BECAUSE THEY ARE ON EAR HEADPHONES YOUR EARS STAY COOL AND THEY LAY FLAT AGAINST YOUR HEAD AND SO GOOD FOR LAYING IN BED WHEREAS MOST HEADPHONES ARE THICK AND BULKY . ITS A GREAT PITY THAT THE CABLE CONNECTION IS NOT MADE MORE ROBUST TO PREVENT LOSS OF SOUND . SO I WILL TRY AND FIND AN ALTERNATIVE .

Have ordered 6 if these at the reduced price as these are really light weight and robust. Having a simply design that is hard to destroy. At the presently discounted price of under £8, I stacked up most of the colours, including the apple friendly white. The ear pads swivel flat around the next although there is no folding option (however, this does remove a possible breakage point).Sound is great, not as good as my Beats or Bose. But more than good enough for commuting or wearing around the house where they can be dropped around the neck for a low profile when needed.

This is my second pair of these headphones (a heavy-set teenager sat on the last ones).Don't get these headphones thinking that they'll blow your mind and you'll get the best sound quality in the universe - they're just cheap headphones. But holy moly, for their price range they are fantastic. Their lightweight design makes the headphones really comfortable to wear, cable length is pretty good too.The sound quality for the price range is great. It doesn't seem like any frequency range in particular has been naughtily boosted to get "better" sound quality. Everything sounds nice and balanced.

My go to headphones. Last a while (1 year + since last buy) before I inevitably break them by yanking a cord accidentally. These are great value for money. They are light headphones and fit a range of head sizes from small adults to big adults. The cord length is nice too (not too short, not too long) - for use with mp3 players and computers. I think the design is pretty cool too.

der sound ist super die verarbeitung ebenso.schön ist das man die ohrmuscheln einklappen kann.ein guter kauf.und sehr günstg.für biker,jogger sehr zu empfehlen.

These are the best sounding, light weight, no distortion and price balance out there. 20htz to 20000htz is not good enough. These are 12htz to 24000htz...no distortion on either extreme of human hearing range. Soft earpads...I hate buds! Very inexpensive for high quality. Buy buy buy!

-Es el segundo par que uso y sorprenden por su calidad de sonido en relación a su precio. Muy indicados para películas en el ordenador, para llevar de viaje por lo poco que ocupan, para el gimnasio o correr porque son muy ligeros y aislan bien para su tamaño. El cordaje es resistente, la diadema es de acero, las almoadilllas son suaves y resistentes. Tened cuidado con las articulaciones que giran los altavoces, son de plástico. En condiciones normales, durarán mucho, pero son vulnerables al peso o la presión. A parte de eso, tienes cascos BBB.

Spinto dalle recensioni positive ho voluto acquistare queste cuffie da usare principalmente per correre, odio gli auricolari!Venendo da un utilizzo continuativo di prodotti dalla caratteristiche simili, di marchi come Sennheiser e AKG cercavo un prodotto che rimanesse in termine di qualità valido ma senza spendere cifre esorbitanti, perchè chi come me le usa in modo continuativo, sopratutto per lo sport le consuma!Ne ho prese due paia, (per me e per la morosa) per lo stesso utilizzo. Arrivate nei tempi di consegna previsti, il primo approccio a vederle nella confezione più che semplice, mi ha messo di cattivo presagio e.. sbagliavo, perché come sempre l'abito non fa il monaco.Le cuffie sono leggerissime, molto bella la finitura rossa, ben costruite si adattano perfettamente all'orecchio e i morbidi cuscinetti forniscono un'ottimo isolamento!! Non riuscivo a crederci quando le ho indossate, sembrava quasi una delle leggere Bose a isolamento.Pressione sonora buona e il suono risulta avere un ottimo bilanciamento (vorrei capire chi ha scritto che i bassi sono troppo invadenti, che termine di paragone ha usato, forse auricolari da 1 euro?) con bassi corposi e morbidi, medi leggermente in taglio e alti puliti e delicati; impressione sincera di un musicista professionista 24h su 24 in studio.Ragazzi a questo prezzo? Sul Serio, 13 euro? Non c'è nulla che abbia provato che le eguaglia!!!Jack ottimo, di lunghezza adeguata, ne troppo corto ne lungo. Correndo la cuffia rimane incollata alla testa, le stanghette reggono benissimo i contraccolpi e non scendono.Testate con un iPhone 3GS e un Ipod Nano 4G, nessun problema. Se proprio vogliamo trovare il pelo nell'uovo.. se nella versione successiva introdurranno l'ormai comodo comando di controllo, penso che raggiungeranno un livello di qualità prezzo imbattibile.Super consigliate!

J'achète ce casque depuis des années et franchement j'en suis ravi.Je trouve le son excellent (basses pas trop fortes, bonne fidélité en général) et pour moi c'est le plus important pour un casque de ce prix. Le confort n'est pas le meilleur qui existe mais n'est pas non plus pourri (un peu trop de souplesse au niveau du réglage de l'arceau, coussins pas très ergonomiques).Je m'en sers quotidiennement pour me déplacer (metro, RER) et pour cela il est très pratique car pas il n'est pas encombrant, il se range facilement et pas besoin de le chouchouter vu le prix qu'il coûte. J'en achète un par an environ (ne comptez pas le garder des siècles ce n'est pas non plus un tank).En résumé c'est un casque excellent à ce prix, nomade et qui peut être secondé par un casque de plus haute gamme à la maison (comme un Klipsh Image One qui est fragile donc peu nomade mais qui est très confortable et dont le son est quasi-parfait).
