Best List: Flex headphones by JLab Audio
If you are on a budget and routinely trash your headphones, JLab Audio’s Flex is just what you have been looking for: a decent pair of cans built to withstand regular abuse.
The Flex headphones come folded down compactly into their included case, and for $70 deliver pretty impressive sound quality.

JLab designed these headphones with what it calls Form-Fit Earcups. These ergonomically shaped cans feature cozy, memory-foam earcups, a stainless steel headband, 40mm drivers and a built-in microphone.
Although I’m not convinced the Form-Fit Earcups add any comfort, they feel decent and definitely give the Flex headphones a unique and sleek appearance.
The detachable cord with built-in mic worked without a hitch. Even though I would have liked better bass response, at this price point — and with this build quality — the Flex headphones are still lust-worthy.
