Best Headphones for the Price....or any price really.

I had the older version of these and they lasted about 6 years, which is an incredible feat since I bought them from Marshals for about $10 back then. They went through hell too: years of workouts, accidental wash and dry cycles, really just terrible stuff. When they died I immediately went looking for the new ones and I bought a pair.

In my mind these are just as good if not better than my old ones. The memory foam is still soft and extremely comfortable and isolates noise a bit better then rubber tips. The sound is fantastic for the price and there's plenty of bass for anyone that is interested. I usually listen to all kinds of rock, pop, and electronic music and I've been very satisfied the sound in those genres.

The mic and music control is okay. The button is responsive and easy to operate (one click to play/pause, two clicks to skip) although you have to learn the timing. The microphone is good, but when I'm at the gym or if it's windy outside it is very obvious to anyone on the other end of the line.

For the price you really can't beat these. I tried finding a version of my old ones first, and upon seeing them for over $50 I decided to buy a few pairs of these. You really can't go wrong with them.

I got these headphones about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier. I prefer them over earbuds or any other personal listening devices. Why?

1.) They're lightweight
2.) They've got clear high and middle frequencies (good treble, I guess you could say)
3.) They look good. They don't look tacky, and you could whip them out nearly anywhere without getting unwanted attention (except for those people who judge others with over-the-ear headphones)
4.) The audio cable is really long, somewhere around 10 feet I believe
5.) Last year when I bought them, they were about $20

However, if there were any changes I would make, I would use a different material for the headband. If I don't place it on my head, within an hour, the top of my head upon which the headband rests is irritated. This isn't worthy of docking a star, since I can either move it so I am comfortable, or I just decide I'm done with the headphones and blast whatever I'm listening to (I hope the people around me enjoy j-pop as much as I do). Like I said earlier, the headphones do a good job blasting higher frequencies (treble) but the bass may be found lacking by some. This can be mitigated by increasing volume slightly, though, or by sliding from 'Movie' mode to 'Music' mode.

Ultimately, I would recommend these over any $20 over-the-ear headphone set. They offer great sound quality, a generous length of cord, and a comfortable experience (you really do begin to know where to rest it on your head), all in a professional and stylish package.

Best bang for your buck, in my opinion, is the JVC Flat Headphones. This is my second pair, and I love them. I wouldn't buy any kind other than these.

Suberb sound quality. You won't hear any better in this price range. Seriously, these headphones are fabulous. I love that you hear music the way the artists intended for it to be heard! All genres sound good.

I've seen a lot of reviews saying they're not comfortable, but I think they're amazing. Sometimes I forget I'm even wearing them. The pads are soft and don't squeeze your ears. I can wear my glasses perfectly fine with them. I wear these hours on end and have had no problems (other than when I broke them on a 12 hour flight but I prefer not to think about that day)

THIS is a great headphones .. for the price there is nothing better than this.
build quality 8/10
ok its plastic but for 20 bucks im not expecting some metal but its good quality plastic and doesnt feel cheap. i reason i gave a 8 because of its cable  its really thin and feels like it can snap. but nothing too big . the cushion is good quality and sits on ur ear.

looks 8/10
these aren't the most good looking headphones i mean its not that bling bling but its like oh there is a headphone ok.... not so much for style but they aren't ugly either they are just normal

sound quality 12/10  these are the best u will get for 20 bucks they are amazing.. crystal clear mids and highs and pumping bass when u need it. these are the headphones where u can use them for mulitple music and they will still sound amazing... just simple amazing

NOTE!!!!  these headphone volume isn't high enough if u just run them with ur iphone or MP3 ..to run it on those i suggest a little amp to get the most volume and sound quality off them

Always thought these were the best headphones on the market for under a hundred bucks!! Great isolation, impeccable frequency response, and a nice coil cable helps keep the cord under control!!! And I was a pro audio retail salesman for over a decade.

These headphones have terrific sound quality and an excellent fit, all within a very great price point.

I know, beginning and ending a review with just that one line wouldn't be sufficient... so I'll elaborate.

There are two categories in which I judge headphones:  Their lifetime and their sound quality.  Comfort usually comes within the price point, fit usually comes due to the material used, and their "ease of use" ... to me, isn't worth mentioning.

As far as durability, these headphones are not the most durable... but they are about mid-way.  I tend to put headphones through a lot of pain, sleeping with them, biking with them, working out with them, sweating on them, laying on them, stepping on them, and so on.  Sometimes, the dog gets ahold of them and there's a little tug of war that goes on, where he's content with shreds of plasticy rubber and I'm content with working headphones that slide easily into my ear thanks to the lubricating powers of a dog's saliva.

But really... The headphones will stand up to a rigourous set of abuse for about 6 months due to the way the wire enters the bud.  I have used Bose's equivalent, Shure's equivalent, and a few others... but in terms of sound quality, comfort, accessories... these Aurvana's can't be beat.  They come with ample replacement earbuds, unlike the Bose (in which I lost one earbud and would have been forced to purchase another pack... instead, I just went to Shure), and the sizes generally fit.  From tiny ears to large ears, I've yet to meet someone that hasn't been able to find comfort in the sizes offered.

My one big complaint is that they stopped offering these headphones at most Canadian retailers.  This peeves me, to a large extent, as now I'm subjected to shipping and handling fees... as well as brokerage fees from the border.

... So price kept me away for about two years of headphone experimentation.  But now I'm back, this will be my 4th pair of headphones over the last 3-4 years, and I don't regret a single note I've dropped to acquire these headphones.

If you use them casually, I'd imagine they would last nearly forever.
If you use them like me, do be sure to enjoy them while they last. ;)
... I'm sure in a half year to a year you'll be coming back... or just telling me to learn how to treat electronics with a little more care.

At any rate, I'd rate these a 4.5/5.

Thanks.  Hope this helps!

These are pretty great headphones, if you pay the amazon price and not the $70 retail.  For what you get here though, you really can't beat them.

The audio quality is great, these things are LOUD if you want them to be, although at high (max, which would blow your eardrums so you don't use it that high anyway) they do distort quite badly.  At normal operating volumes they sound great, with one caveat...you need to use the best of the cups to fit your ear perfectly.  If you don't, they will seem quiet, and nowhere near what you expect, so if none of the cups fits your ear, you won't be happy with them.  As for me, the smaller cups and foam cups fit perfectly, and definitely cancel out all outside noise. I would bet that I could even take them to the shooting range if I wanted to, I won't, but I bet it would work...  I bought these mainly for playing games on my ipod touch, and they don't disappoint, they fit the bill quite nicely.

As I mentioned before, I suppose you could say it's a gamble on the comfort end.  They do come with several different cups to fit different ear sizes, but I suppose there are some people who won't fit any of them, but I find they fit quite well, quite comfortably.  I can wear them pretty much indefinitely without discomfort.  They are small, weigh next to nothing, fit securely (unlike some.... <cough> apple <cough>  and I forget I'm even wearing them until I see somebody talking to me and I can't hear them.  Even when listening at low volume, the noise canceling on these is pretty astonishing.

The microphone works great.  Loud, rich and clear.  I've only tried it on the voice recorder and one skype call on the itouch, but it was more than adequate.

On to construction, they seem to be built ok, but I don't think they would stand up to hard abuse.  I wouldn't be too rough with them.  The leather case that comes with it is a nice touch, and the cables are good looking with the braided wire, and are quite long, so for me I won't have to worry about inadvertently pulling out the wire when moving around.

Overall, very pleased.  These aren't bad headphones by any stretch of the imagination, but they aren't the absolute best either.  They are a nice middle ground.  You'll get much better sound than a cheap disposable pair, but don't expect them to be on par with Shure, Klipsch, Sony, or other high end brands, because they simply aren't.  For the price on here though, I don't think you can find anything better without paying more.  I've never owned any skullcandy products before, and I was skeptical, but I think a lot of the bad reviews come from audiophiles expecting more than what they are.  I'm pleased, and I think it was money well spent for my purposes.

These are the best headphones I've ever had. They fit so comfortably, you barely know they're in. Once your music is playing, you're in a world of your own. With the proper tip size, they block out almost, if not all outside noise. As for sound quality, the music is crystal-clear. Bass is powerful, but not muddy or over-powering. Mids and highs shine through. The sound just blends together in an awesome way. All in all, these are incredible headphones for the price. I would recommend them 100%!

With all the new headphones coming out its a bit hard choosing the right ones. I have had quite a few different pairs from bose to beats... I can honestly say that for the price I would buy these a million times over.
Build quality 4/5 only because part of cushion on inside part came off but its not noticeable or bothersome.
Audio quality 3.5/5 of course they are not the most amazing but they have great treble (4/5) and good bass (3/5)
Price 5/5 well within everyone's budget! Even if you loose them you can always buy another pair without pulling out a loan to pay for them haha.
Overall 4.5/5 compared to all headphones Ive ever owned which says alot!

Fantastic headphones for the price,my first pair of headphone were Sennheiser and cost me five times what I paid for the HD229 s but I was just as happy with them!!! Great brand at a great price.

I am not an audiophile, but out of all of the sub $20 headphone I have owned in my life, these are by far the best. They are even comparably to headphones I've owned that cost around $50-100. When you consider the price, this product is undoubtedly worthy of 5 stars.

Delivery was fast. The provider included some foam tips which felt and sounded better than the standard rubber tips. I am happy with this purchase after owning these for a very short time. I will update if they fail -- but 5 stars for now.

These are amazing headphones for the price, much better than other headphones I've tried in this price range. I use them for gaming, listening to music and home recording. The bass really booms, and the mid- and high-frequencies come through clearly. The mid- and high- might not be quite as sharp as higher-priced headphones, but when I'm playing a game or listening to music I don't even notice it. The sound quality is high enough that you can easily get immersed in the fight or the song or whatever experience that you're looking for. Unless I win the lottery tomorrow and can afford a $400 set, I will not be retiring the HD202 anytime soon.

It's what I hear when I have people listen to these and them my $100 sennheisers.  THE best headphones for the price- if anyone else tries to tell you otherwise, tell them to cram it with walnuts...

Good build quality too- but don't go slamming them around.  Tascam spent their resources into the sound, not so much into ruggedness.

By far, The best headphones out there as far as price to performance. Hell, I have a pair of Bose Soundtrue and they don't come close to the build quality, sound, and features of .. Hold on let me read the box, these "Origem MageBass Stereo Bluetooth Headset" buds. Of course I've spent less than an hour with them but, my god, nothing short of amazing so far.

I did Not receive this product for free nor was I suggested this product nor was it purchased through a discount. Just a random, satisfied customer. Only thing that I could possibly suggest is to provide a small "notch" or area to specifically have the replacement tips "snap" into. I like the freedom of having it rotate and easily slide in but, of course this is a matter of personal preference.

Good Job, whoever designed the details on this beast. I'll update this review in a month if I remember, I don't usually post reviews, but this caught my attention particularly well.

Update!(10/24/15) So I find it Particularly frustrating to actually open the flap on the side of the ear piece just to charge the thing. Thinking about cutting it off altogether -_- mind you, I have fairly skinny, nimble fingers, and I'm still having trouble unlatching it.
Also, I don't know if its a programming issue, but the bass that I experienced the other day? All gone. Even when cycling through all the presets (3 in total, hold the top and bottom buttons until you hear a beep), nothing brings back the sound I heard the first day I got them, and I highly doubt that it's my own personal taste that just changed so abruptly because my Bose now sound better than these, aside from me previously stating the other way around.
Another problem, the battery died in 5 hours of playtime. I'll give this thing another few shots, but so far, it's turning sour. Going to downgrade the review to 4 stars for the time being.

I can't express enough how much I am impressed with these headphones. From the minuscule price and compared to much more expensive headphones I have purchased in the past, these are great. From the sound to all the features that one would ever need in headphones, they're awesome.

For the price I paid, these are hands down the best headphones I've owned. I've tried several before and after buying these and the only ones that I prefer over these are its immediate relative the crossfade wireless. These are not neutral, if you want to neuter them a bit, take down some of the bands at 125khz -5db, 250khz -7db, and 500khz - 2 or 3db. I did this for rock and metal. (metallica, tool, megadeth, pearl jam, meshuggah, animals as leaders) It removes some of the boxed in feeling and you're left with a pretty smooth sound that thumps when the song calls for it. I don't think all music needs this, I'm not into edm or pop music, but for the hell of it I youtubed some tracks from those genres and the headphones sounded appropriately tuned for them. So if that's what you're into - you probably won't have to tweak a thing. Of course, sound is very personal so you might want to eq them to your taste and think that my suggestions sound off or bizzarre. one last piece of advice on the sound, let them burn in! I didn't notice how smooth and responsive they had gotten until I tried my friend's pair fresh out of the box. They didn't sound as smooth as my pair. Two weeks later and his sound like mine. You can probably burn them in faster if you purposely burn them in. He just used them day to day.

If i had to give one negative about them  it would be the comfort. I wish the earcups swiveled to better match my headshape. They're not uncomortable, even with the stock pads- but i've tried other headphones and have been very impressed with comfort.

Either way the only way you'll be disappointed with these headphones is if you are looking for something totally different like an open back neutral headphone. The build quality is excellent, the warranty is top notch, and the headphones look extremely cool. They're worth the asking price, but if you can get them on sale - they're a steal. I got them on thanksgiving, not even black Friday for almost half price.
