JVC Flats (Black)

Pros: Crisp, clear sound
Lightweight
Portable
High quality sound for the price
Stylish

Cons: The flats are on ear headphones, ergo they don't block out a lot of the surrounding noise

Summary: For the price these are an excellent set of headphones. The sound quality for this price point can not be beat save for maybe the Koss KSC-75. Compared to its natural competitor the Sony mdr-zx100, these headphones blow those away in sound quality. The highs and mids are very clear, it is not veiled like the mdr-zx100. The bass is good and has a bit of punch but it is still crisp. Obviously at this price point you are not getting complete audiophile quality, but these headphones are excellent for the price. The headband is made of metal with a rubber coating on it, so I feel that they are fairly durable. They are extremely portable given their size and weight. Perhaps the one drawback is that if you are looking for an on ear headphone that blocks out a lot of the surrounding noise, these might not be the best bet. The Sony mdr-zx100 or the JVC riptidz both are a bit larger and cover the ear better. Besides that on slight drawback these are excellent headphones at the price and I highly recommend them.
