Panasonic RP-HT21 (Black)

In the past few months I've been on a minor mission to check out some budget headphones that cost less than $10. I started with Pansonic's sub-$10 ErgoFit RP-HJE120 earphones, and came away pleasantly surprised by their performance and fit. But what...

Panasonic's very inexpensive RP-HT21 on-ear headphones are lightweight, fairly comfortable, seem sturdy enough, and sound quite decent for their low price.

The headphones have a generic design, don't fold up, and their thicker, reinforced L-shaped plug may not be compatible with certain smartphone cases. They also leak sound.

As far as really inexpensive headphones go, you're not going to do too much better than the Panasonic RP-HT21s.

"Kudos Panasonic."

It sounds just fine if you're not expecting a Dr. Dre experience. And I'm not going to scream if they die. Super light-weight. Perfect if you're working out and you cannot stand sticking jelly-things in your ears. I imagine great for kids with this...

Price point.

None relative to cost.

If I could give them 10 stars I would

I needed headphones for listening to music because the iphone original headphones hurt my ears. These headphones are terrific. The sound quality is amazing and crystal clear. The headphones are so comfortable I can wear them for a long period of time...

Great inexpensive little headphones

Positives: Price *****, pretty good sound quality, they don't bleed noise very much Negatives: Connection part of the plug is a tad short so sometimes I have to readjust the plug in my headphone jack. Headphones are a bit tight for me and begin to...

Worst purchase ever

These were broken when I received them. The ear piece was snapped off the headband. I knew I was buying cheap, but I at least hoped to be able to use these for a short time. The shipping to return will be more than the price, so they are going right in...

Excellent headphones for the money

Although these felt absolutely tiny in my hands, the sound produced is great. I don't quite understand how they are priced so low and actually work this well. I don't find any particular range being overshadowed by another and I am still pleasantly...

One of my favorite things!

I admit I'm pretty tough on headphones. I'm constantly pulling the wires when I get them caught on doorknobs. I drop them. I sit on them. I sleep in them. It's not surprising that I manage to destroy a pair every couple of months. That's why I love...

These headphone sound good and for general use around the house and air travel they are fine. But, they are not sport headphones. They are with the price
