As I said earlier, I may not be a huge fan of on-ear models, but I'm a fan of the Jabra Revo. While it may not be a bargain at around $160, it's a very solid headphone, particularly for mobile users looking for a model that's sturdy yet not too bulky.

However, while the Revos deliver loud and rich audio, tracks can get bogged down in base. Audiophiles that want crisper, cleaner audio will want to get an earful of the $399 Parrot Ziks. However, for $249, the Revos are an excellent choice for wireless music lovers on a midrange budget.

The Jabra Revo does not distort, doesn't malfunction in the slightest, has an inline remote and mic, and it has tremendous power, but it's missing the higher register definition that helps music sound like music.

Topped off with a remarkable 240-hour battery life in standby and 12 hours of wireless output between charges, and these headphones become pretty irresistible.

We were thoroughly impressed by the battery life and the enhancing quality of Dolby Digital Plus which makes up for the lack of noise cancelling. Overall though, these are an excellent all round pair of headphones and at a fraction of the price of the Ziks, they're well worth the investment.

The headband is wide, comfortable, and extremely sturdy. I was able to bend it, making the headphones lie flat without breaking them. It can easily flex in any direction which should help them put up with a hard life bumping around in a backpack.

The earphone touch control might strike you as something of a gimmick, but it's definitely a cool one, and even aside from that, the sound quality isn't lacking.
