Panasonic RP-HJE50 Headphones; Best Deal You're Going to Find

First of all I should say that I solemnly vowed I would never wear ear bud style headphones. I've always had problems keeping them in my ears, mainly the Apple ear bud style. I was always the big over the head, over the ear, big honking headphone type....

Very comfortable, Great sound, good bass, nice treble, top quality sound isolation

No mini case; Problems getting tangled if not stored properly

Awesome earphones

I bought these ear buds as replacements for the earphones that came with my MP3 player. They sound so much better that I can easily say they put the original earphones to shame. These are some of the best ear phones that I have ever used. I was...

what's with non-adjustable length?

the line leading to one earbud is very very short and because of it, I couldn't even put the mp3 player in my pocket and use these without an extension (which it came with). The line leading to the other earbud was way too long, so there's excess line...

Panasonic RP HJE50 - Good Value for the Money

I have tried a number of low cost canal phones, including Phillips SHE 9500, Panasonic RP HJE50, Koss KEB 24g, and JVC HA-FX-33A. All are in the $10-$30 range. The best have been the Panasonic. I have used mine almost daily for about 6 months,...

Nice cable extender, soft cups, good seal, reliable, cable holds up well

none, considering the low cost

Good sound...horrible design

I have to clip it to my shirt collar when I jog which makes me look like a dork...

They sound great compared to the earbuds that came with my MP3 player

The design team was apparently drunk when they designed this as the wire to the left earbud is WAAAY shorter than the one to the right earbud...they should have made them equal lengths used the extra length for the main cord. It's too short w/out the...

Cheaply made - poor sound - no low end - DON'T BUY

"High Quality" ... What a joke! This are unquestionably the worst sounding headphones I have EVER purchased. There is no low-end whatsoever. I have tried all 3 earbuds...it doesn't make a difference, the sound is crap. I recently also purchased a pair...

Just what I needed.

This ear buds were just what I needed; I have very small ears and they come with 3 sizes of "buds" and the smallest fit perfect. And, the sound was much better than the last pair that I bought.

Poor sound quality

Maybe it was my high expectation, but the sound quality was no where I would describe as hi-fidelity - non existent mid-range and very artificial bass. You may want to experiment with all the three sets of ear buds. The sound effect does change quite a...
