There's not much to dislike with the Nocs NS200. The only disadvantage is the retro cable, which tangles like a excited ferret on a lead, and the occasional lack of precision on the audio side. However, you're at the bottom of the midrange scale here, so it seems churlish to pick holes.

The Nocs NS200 are one of the few sets of earphones to cater specifically for HTC phone users, whether running Android or Windows 7. And while the functionality on offer in the remote isn't at iPhone level, we appreciate Nocs's inclusive approach. Their sound quality is great too, offering well-behaved but powerful bass and good balance. Slight treble harshness stops them from netting top marks, though.
