A real hidded gem

I keep trying to find earphones that sound better than these. After all, they were only $30. I bought Sonys, Shure, Creative, and just recently the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro ($150), all hoping to get more if I spent more. None of these beat my little Panasonics. They have a rich, strong sound and great isolation. And due to the asymmetrical contoured buds, they are by far the most comfortable and secure earphones I've tried. (and they fit my iPhone) I LOVE these earbuds!

Great Sound, Great Comfort, Great Value!

The title pretty much speaks for itself. These earbuds are surprisingly good!

I already own the Sennheiser PX 100 Collapsible Headphones (FANTASTIC for on-the-ear headphones, providing excellent dynamic range and superb comfort) and use those for travelling. However, I was using a set of Sony MDR-E828LP Fontopia Earbuds with Winding Case for jogging and working out and they left something to be desired. The sound is good, but the fit (on me) is only so-so and they have a tendency to pop out when I'm running. I started searching for a replacement for the Sony earbuds.

I came upon these while searching Amazon. Good reviews, good price, and the being an in-ear style sealed the deal.

The package comes with three sizes of pads and a carrying case, which is a nice touch. I found the medium ones that came already attached worked fine for my ears. The build quality seems quite good.

First, the sound quality of these is great. I listened to a variety of jazz, classical, rock, pop, etc. and these did a good job of reproducing most of the dynamics and nuances.

Second, these are very comfortable for in-ear buds, without feeling intrusive. I've tried the expensive Shure earbuds, which sound excellent, but I found them uncomfortable after a while. These Panasonic earbuds feel good even after extended periods of wear. They do not block outside noise as well as some other models, but personally I don't want my earbuds to completely isolate me from the world.

Overall, if you decide to buy these, you'll get great fitting and sounding earbuds at a great value!

Surprisingly Comfortable

I owned a pair of Sony Fontopia before, so I can make a subjective comparison. The Panasonic is much more comfortable.

Also, the earpads do not come off as easily as the Sony. This is good because it is next to impossible to get the earpads replaced cheaply if they were to be lost. (I lost the Sony ones.)

It's not bad ... for the price

The sound is fine for the small price that these things sport. The ear buds are comfortable and come in 3 sizes. If you're looking for professional quality, look elsewhere. If you are looking for cheap, comfortable, and otherwise descent, then these are for you.

Content with these Panasonic headphones.

When I buy In-ear headphones I usually buy the sony ones because they are fairly inexpensive and have decent sound. But somehow I lost the sony ones and I bought the panasonic's because they were cheaper.

Comfort

These headphones are amazingly comfortable. I use the smallest earbuds, insert them in my ears and they fit perfectly. After a while they get a tad hot but that is what usualy happens with these type of headphones. I used them while working out and as long as you put these head phones inside your shirt and behind your head they don't get in the way. - 4 1/2

Sound

The head phones block outside sound fairly well but don't expect noise-canceling levels. The quality of sound is pretty decent but at higher volumes I notice the degradation in the quality of sound. However in most cases it sounds fine. Bass is a little weak but the sound is fairly clear. I also noticed the shape of the drivers is different from common in-ear headphones. Instead of a 9mm "circle" driver unit, its a 10.3 mm "oval" type driver unit. -4

Durability

These headphones seem pretty durable and I have not noticed any reduction in sound quality for the couple of months I owned the headphones. - 5

I highly recommend these headphones if you are looking for inexpensive, easy to wear comfortable, durable head phones. Overall I give it a 4 1/2.
