Home > Consumer Reviews > Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS port for increased bass response

I bought 6 pairs of these headphones, because I am constantly wearing out the headphones I use for my computer. I have ended up giving all but two of the pairs away to family members, and Have used the same headset for 9 months now. That is unheard for me, I usually pull at the cords too much and break wires, lose the stereo sound, etc... I would reccomend these to everyone. The sound is fantastic, I watch alot of TV and Movies on my computer and the quality is terrific. I barely hear any background noise. My only complaint is that I wish the cord was about 1 foot longer.

When I received these headphones I thought they were going to sound like crap. No headphones that I've ever seen or purchased for that amount of money were good. But when I plugged them in to my Mp3, I was surprised. They sounded GOOOD!! I couldn't believe it so I had my sister try them out. She loved them too! And she could barely believe how good and bass-ey they sounded...especially after I told her the price! So long story short, get these...you will be pleasantly surprised like I was! Oh! The only reason why I gave them four stars is because they have a hard time staying on my head. They slide off a lot, and I have a pretty good sized head. But other than that, they are very good quality!

They are worth the $5 i spent on them, but I think that the earphones that come with the Ipod produce better sound quality than these do. However, at least these Panasonic headphones aren't falling off every few minutes like the Ipod earphones do.

I bought these headphones for use with my iPod. While I do spend up to 20x the price of these for home usage, I don't like spending too much on phones for my iPod as they get beat up easily. I figured five bucks, good reviews, worth a shot.

These headphones sound bad. I do know these are quite cheap, but I've still heard better even for this price. The problem is the sound is plain tinny. Even with some equalization in the mix, I couldn't get "good bass" or a full sound out of these. Also the midranges, specifically the upper mids are screechy and overproduced. Another issue is the volume. I have to crank up about 70% of my recievers volume for moderate volume, and the iPod is even worse. Yes, they are cheap and comfy, but they sound as good as they cost. I've found that both the Sony Walkman headphones (MDRA110) and the Coby CVH42 for the same price sound better.

I can't believe this headphone is in the under ten dollar price range. I've used a few headphones in the ten to twenty dollar price range, and tested more expensive Skullcap and Koss headphones, and this beats everything, especially for the price and comfort (oh yeah, this is the most comfortable headphone ever created, I forgot to mention that.) Highly recommended!
