Lightweight and portable, they deliver crisp, immersive audio with soft ear-pads that ensure comfort and noise isolation during extended use. Compatible with a wide range of devices via a 3.5mm slim plug, these headphones are the perfect blend of style, durability, and performance for professionals who demand quality sound on the move. ## 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. ## 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 | Foldable, Lightweight, ios-phone-control | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Everyday Use, Traveling | | Audio Driver Size | 30 Millimeters | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,038 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #177 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand | JVC | | Brand Name | JVC | | Built-In Media | See Specs | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Cellphones, Tablets, Laptops, Desktops, and Other Audio Devices | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 9,985 Reviews | | Ear Placement | On Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Flat on-ear | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 12-24,000Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046838045578 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Impedance | 32 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 66 Grams | | Manufacturer | JVC | | Model Number | HAS160B | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Daily Use, Travel | | Style Name | Flats | | Theme | Stylish Technology | | UPC | 809187153345 100177499284 031112955568 053786042979 172302878837 079531801097 659223157185 055555561438 807031788019 172304196328 071020385507 012300172899 853585129617 803982929365 999993369426 001910134915 052778851070 012301853490 100012616777 767887438233 163121084462 468380455788 012303910603 601000775846 971471463512 163120298013 151903067321 014444938911 763615879040 115970921634 0311115577… | | Unit Count | 1.0 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 Ohms ## Images ![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 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Al6UVveLL.jpg) ![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 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713JcLVU+FL.jpg) ![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 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qrmGf0+uL.jpg) ![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 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31q9vWsfp1L.jpg) ![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 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Xq+ZXdZgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How comfortable are these for wearing all day during the work on my desk?** A: comfortable.

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. ## 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.sg/products/1234045-jvc-flats-on-ear-wired-headphones-flat-foldable-design-30mm](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1234045-jvc-flats-on-ear-wired-headphones-flat-foldable-design-30mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
