JVC HA-S160-B-E FLATS Lightweight Headphones - Black

9/10 without a doubt! There is no words to describe how amazing these cans are for their price! For ~£10 they are absolutely top notch! Do not let the price of them make you think their just cheap tat, the sound quality alone in these are compatible to £50-60 headphones I've had in the past.I've been on and off about if I should pick a pair of these up for a good couple of months now, but honestly whether you're buying them off Amazon, your local shop, supermarket or wherever - I urge you to pick a pair up at full or reduced price if your looking to spend next to nothing to replace a set of broken headphones. Easily worth spending the extra couple of quid on top of the fiver you'd spend on cheapy cheap ear buds floating around the till in electronic shops.They are by no means the best built set of headphones in the world, they're thin and made of pretty nasty, shinny plastic from the headband down to the ear cups, but the headband itself is a nice rubercoated plastic type material that stays put on your head well. They're small headphones and I have a fairly cumbersome head and pair of lugs but these sit on them fine for hours on end. I think if you were to have an extremely large head or wear really padded hats and you need to extend the band fully, the metal runner may start to bow after a lot of use. They also fold flat so you can pop them in your bag. That said, you cannot do much more than twist the ear cups flat, so if you put other items in your bag they could damage the headband.The cups themselves are small but nice and squishy. I have a couple piercings on both ears and although the cups sit directly on-top of them, I have no comfort issues at all. As above, my ears are pretty big, and although these are small they sit nicely on the ear where they need to and don't overhang and bleed sound. That said, listening to music on about 50% vol on the computer you can hear a lot of the high notes bleeding out into the room, but not as bad as some larger headphones I've had in the past. They do a good job of drowning a lot of sound out from the surrounding environment, but don't block everything out, so you'll still hear traffic and surroundings if you're walking down the street.The sound. Oh the sound! Bass is punchy but not distorted or muted in any way. Mids are alriiiiiiiight depending on the audio and the highs are lovely and crisp. You could (should you posses the right equipment and/or software) tweak this and make improvements. But for the average Joe who tears the packet open and plugs them into their phone or MP3 player, you really cannot complain. To explain the mids a bit more, I find anything with a lot of bass and highs like Rap, Dubstep, Electronic etc fairs quite well as the music blends really well. If you listen to more Rock, Metal, Pop music you'll notice it can be a bit lacklustre in places. That said, unless your extremely picky and sitting inside in a quiet room, you will NOT notice this.

As i can't wear 'in ear' headphones, i was looking for lightweight, comfy ones at a good price.These aren't the strongest I've come across - some reviews have said they broke within a short space of time - and i agree they wouldn't stand up to any rough handling. I haven't taken them out of the house, so can't report on how easily transportable they are, but the twist feature on the earphones makes it easy to store them in a drawer when not in use. Sound quality is good - again you get what you pay for, but for listening to podcasts/radio/music etc they are perfectly adequate, and the earpieces are well padded for comfort.Treat them gently and they are good value for a very reasonable price.

I have never really liked wearing headphones. Uncomfortable, hot, cut off totally from surroundings is not my thing. However, sometimes needs must either for private listening, mixing my own recordings or out walking. The price and appearance made me suspicious initially but I love them. These headphones are the best I have tried for my purposes. Sound quality is really very good, very neutral they don't appear to "colour" the sound at all, and detail is great. They sit nicely on the ear and are so lightweight I forget they are there. I find them light enough to listen in bed too. I've had phones that were ten times the price of these but they didn't suit like these .Cheap enough to give a try without breaking the bank. You might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.Recommended

I use headphones every day: when I'm at work, at home and walking my dog. I go through them at a great rate of knots, normally, as the blasted cord keeps snagging, and before I know it I can only hear through one side of the headphones.These, though, have been really excellent. The sound quality is more than adequate--I listen to audiobooks rather than music, and so perhaps I don't need to be quite as choosy as I might otherwise wish to be--but the main thing is how hard wearing they've been. The cord has snagged countless times, but they've kept on playing excellently. Today, finally, it sounds as though one of the little wires is finally going, but I'm more than happy with the wear I've had out of them. I've just ordered two new pairs. I'm delighted to see that the price has also dropped. I'll get two pairs for just a little more than I paid for one pair.They're comfy, and they stay on when I run with my dog. The only reservation I have is that I suspect they might fit blokes more easily than women. With the expandable band closed up to the smallest setting they just about fit me. If they were any larger they'd be too large. They do fit me, though, and that's why I've just ordered more.I've tried many, many headphones over the years as I use them almost every day, and these are the most long-lasting I've ever had. That, combined with a quality sound, leads me to recommend them very highly.

Compré los JVC HA-S160 buscando unos auriculares asequibles pero con buen rendimiento para uso diario, y debo decir que estoy bastante satisfecho con la compra.Puntos positivos:Sonido sorprendentemente bueno: Para el precio que tienen, la calidad de sonido es muy decente. Los graves son profundos y los agudos claros, sin ser demasiado chillones. No es el audio más avanzado, pero funciona perfectamente para música casual y podcasts.Diseño compacto y ligero: Estos auriculares son extremadamente ligeros y plegables, lo que los hace fáciles de llevar en cualquier parte. Se sienten bien sobre las orejas, sin ejercer demasiada presión, ideal para usar durante largos periodos.Puntos a mejorar:Aislamiento de ruido moderado: No tienen un gran aislamiento del ruido exterior, así que si los usas en un entorno ruidoso, como el transporte público, el sonido ambiente puede filtrarse un poco.Materiales sencillos: Aunque son bastante duraderos para el uso diario, los materiales son sencillos (principalmente plástico), lo que puede hacer que no sean tan resistentes como otros modelos más costosos.En general, los JVC HA-S160 son una excelente opción para quienes buscan unos auriculares económicos con un buen balance entre calidad de sonido y portabilidad. Son ideales para escuchar música de manera casual sin gastar mucho dinero. ¡Recomendados!

J'écris cette évaluation avec le casque sur les oreilles. Je viens de le recevoir et de l'ouvrir. Premières impressions : simple, sobre et léger comme une plume. Ecouteurs réglables en hauteur et pivotant, pour s'adapter parfaitement à votre tête. L'esthétique est simple et jolie. Le côté brillant sur l'extérieur des écouteurs est peut-être le point faible, susceptible au traces de doigts ou aux rayures. Mais c'est vraiment pour trouver un truc à redire. Car sur tout le reste ce casque est tout simplement fabuleux. Une fois sur les oreilles on l'oubli en quelques secondes. L'arceau et les écouteurs ne gênent pas et les mousses font le job et on l'air résistantes. Et une fois que l'on appuie sur play, on ne peut qu'être étonné de la qualité de l'audio. Bien équilibré, profond et clair. A ce prix là, c'est incroyable. J'ai des casques qui valent 7 ou 8 fois ce prix et honnêtement je penne à leur trouver des avantages. Oui, il est filaire et n'en jette pas mais qu'est ce qu'il est efficace ! Et pour ce qui est du filaire, cela me va très bien. Trop souvent déçu des casques Bluetooth et de leur bruits parasites je reviens au filaire et n'ai plus que ça. Pas besoin de charger, d'y penser. Pas de pollution liée à la batterie, meilleure qualité audio... Dernière remarque : il faut bien noté que c'est un casque acheté seulement une dizaine d'euro et de par sa simplicité et sa légèreté il conviendra de le manipuler sans trop de violence pour le garder longtemps. D'une bonne qualité pour le prix, l'arceau et le câble sont de simple facture et je ne pense pas qu'il faille trop les maltraiter.Bref, léger et confortable, avec des finitions simples et efficaces ce casque offre une qualité sonore incroyable pour le prix et je le recommande chaudement. Idéalement, quitte à payer 10 euros de plus, j'y ajouterai un micro intégré et un bouton pour gérer les appels sur le câble.PS : si cet avis vous a aidé, n'hésitez pas à le mettre en avant ! Merci ;)

Inexpensive, but very good sound, if a little bright. Tweaked the equalizer settings on my device and now it's just right. Comfortable to wear, if a little large for some people- I have a size 7-1/2 head and I have the headband expanded only about half an inch, but it fits me fine. I bought a second one for a relative because I liked the first so much. This replaces an excellent set of Koss Porta-Pros that I've used for many years and had the company replace several times as the right or left channel stopped working (I've done a review on those with a couple of updates). For the price and hassle of shipping the Porta-Pros back for replacement, I can buy a new set of these. I also like the ear cushioning and comfort better on this one. The Porta-Pros have a replaceable open foam cushion that soaks up sweat and wears out pretty quickly. I'd give the edge in sound quality to the Porta-Pros, but these are good and I'll just use these instead now. I'd say the value and sound for these as over-the-ear headphones are comparable to Panasonic Ergo-fit earbuds (RP-HJE120-S for the silver version) in the earbud realm.

good product

Voor dit geld absoluut de beste lichtgewicht koptelefoon met een indrukwekkende weergave. Bass is echt heerlijk. Op mijn iPhone SE ingesteld met minder hoge tonen.
