PANASONIC Stereo Earbud Headphones with Comfortable, Clear, and Powerful Sound. Includes 3.9 ft Cord with Miniplug 3.5mm Headphone Jack - RP-HV096-K – In Ear Earbuds (Black)

These have been my go-to headphones for years. They are very comfortable, produce high-quality sound, and are durable. They slip inside the ear and fit well without causing me to be annoyed by something being inside my ear. It almost feels like they aren't even there most of the time. This also makes it easy to take it, which is great for when I am constantly on the move and for safety. There is no chance of that experience of having your earbuds ripped out and causing immense pain because they were so tight.

These earphones are great. The sound is good and I've definitely had worse sounding earphones at this price. I love the way Apple's EarPods feel and these are pretty similar. They don't go into your ear, but sit sort of on your ear like EarPods. So far, after a couple of weeks of use, they've held up well. I wish more companies had this type of design. These are probably the best alternative to Apple EarPods I have found that are actually name brand. Hopefully they hold up and don't start malfunctioning soon.

the earphone volume sounds actually pretty good and I think its far better than apples included headphones for the iphone 7. there are some definite disadvantages though. this works great for plugging into a laptop and although normally a sign of good earphone audio is that they produce powerful sound at low volume. that is not the case for these. you need to turn this up to about 36 in windows to get decent sound. although once I damaged the earphones with the 99.5 decibel source ive turned that down to 20. the earphones still sound fine but it is disappointing. the audio source was stereo converted to surround sound then converted to stereo and then raised to 99.1 with a perceptive decibel increasing tool. anyway although these are great headphones more powerful drivers or some way of providing the earphones more power would have been preferred for a higher price. these are good headphones and incredibly cheap. just try not to break them. because although the audio quality is good. these are the easiest earphones to break ive ever owned. although i frequently break headphones and earphones. still I might actually buy this again. hopefully theyll last for a couple more months.

I'm not sure why the packaging says "Powerful Bass". I think they meant "Powerful Treble", because there is absolutely no bass. In fact, there's a surprising lack of bass from these earbuds. Something must have gotten lost in translation.These inexpensive earbuds are terrible for music. I use them at my desk at work for watching instructional videos. Voices come through clearly.The buds themselves are rather large. They don't go inside your ear. Instead they rest just outside the ear canal, so they probably would not be good to use with a device where you're going to be moving around much. They'll fall out. The kind of earbuds that go inside the ear can sometimes start to irritate me after a while, so these are good if I have a long video to watch. Since these buds aren't the kind that you jam inside your ears, you can still hear what's going on around you.So, if you're sitting still listening to podcasts, these may be fine for you. If you're planning to block the outside world and listen to music while you jog or hike, don't use these.

This style of ear buds are old school today since every company has switched to inner ear style ear buds. While that newer style is nice and all they have two big draw backs. They cause your ears to produce more wax since your body thinks its being invaded by a froigen object. They also prevent you from hearing things outside of the music you're listening to which can be dangerous. If you're outside and say someone sneaks up on you or something else happens where you need to act fast but can't because you can't hear anything.These older style ear buds however don't block out outside noise and they also don't cause your ears to produce more wax.These Panasonic earbuds are in my opinion the BEST of this style earbud currently on the market. They're loud, very clear and are able to produce great sounding lows. By comparison the Sony and JVC earbuds in this style sound good and are in fact great products in their own right. But they don't compare to these Panasonic earbuds!Compared to inner ear style earbuds these come close but they won't hold up since these are considered lowered end products today so the major manufactures won't invest in making this style of earbud compete in the market today.So where are these earbuds useful? If you're always out and about these will be great. You can hear almost everything around with these on while you play music. Another use would be if your job allows you to listen to an MP3 player.Or just to use as your everyday earbuds.I wish Panasonic and other brands would start to make these with a microphone built into the cord so I can use these with my cellphone in the same way I can use my inner ear style earbuds.
