Discrete and comfortable with good sound
I have used a previous version of these earbuds that were bigger in size and remembered them fitting my ears perfectly so i bought them as disposable/beater headphones and have used them until now when they have started to break to the point where they are difficult to use. This isn’t as much of a problem as you think it is Especially when you consider how much I’ve used them.
The quality of the earbuds doesn’t feel cheap but its obvious you didn’t pay a lot for them however the low price is one of the main selling points for roughly £8 (at the time of the review) a pair as a result I’m not complaining. The size of the buds is incredibly small they practically disappear into your ears and in my case fit perfectly this makes them great if you want to wear them under a hat as they wont stick out this also makes them excellent for sleeping in as it doesn’t poke you if they sink into your ear like me. The sound of these earbuds are as described “powerful sound” being a pseudonym for having a lot of bass this can be jarring at first if your used to earbuds that are more flat sounding or some kind of reference headphones however they still sound good despite this if you like bass or music with a lot of bass it will sound good.
The only down side is the fact that they earbuds (like every other pair) will break eventually in my case the jack began to break and wouldn’t fully provide as much volume to one ear at first and then began to only work at one angle. HOWEVER this is after roughly 3 months of constant use (since October 2022) they were my daily earbuds that would see constant use only given a break when I’m sleeping as a result they were probably used more than the average person would due to this yours will definitely last longer than my pair.
Overall they are great value for money and should last a while I highly recommend them if your using them as a backup or just need a cheap pair of earbuds.

Nice general usage headphones
As you will see by my previous reviews I am gradually reviewing the low budget headphones.
These produce good sound from a variety of music types. You can hear all the elements of your music (mid, treble & bass) with these headphones. The quality is good but I wouldn’t say these are spectacular. For example the bass is there and for most music it is perfectly good but on the track I used for testing it lacked a bit of definition (depth and rumble). To be fair though, that sort of definition comes in on headphones £40+ so these £7 set of headphones which are punching way above their weight and I am being picky.
The volume is good so there is no need to have your music set as the maximum just to hear it.
The buds are very light and fit in the ear ok (I can see running with these maybe an issue as they will fall out occasionally). Because the fit is a little bit loose the noise canceling effect for these type of headphones is not as good as others.
The build quality is represented by the price, this is a no frills design. The cable is thin and stiff. for example it still has a kink from how it was wrapped in the manufacturers packaging. With this in mind I don’t hold much hope that these will last a year, but so far so good. The two tone plastic is meant to add to the aesthetic look but I think these would look better all one colour.
Overall
Even though there were some negatives, I think that for the price these headphones are an absolute bargain. They produce a quality of sound which is not usually found in this price bracket. Go for it, you wont be disappointed.
Headphones are one bit of technology which is highly personal. It appears that one persons “awesome” is another’s “total £$%£”. I feel this is partly due to music taste as I can see some headphones are suited for a particular music type rather than all round performance.
I personally have a wide music taste ranging from Dubstep, Classical, Punk, rock, Ska, Pop to Acoustic so my requirements for headphones are that they are all round performers. My headphones have experienced death by kitten after 2+ years of use. Unfortunately, they were very good headphones which are now obsolete. So it has a been a trial by “Nails on a chalk board” finding alternatives on a tight budget. So I have decided to review all my recent headphone purchases to hopefully help others avoid my audio pain.
To ensure fairness I used the same track to test all the headphones which is Versus official music vol. 1 because it covers Bass, Mid range and Treble.

These stayed in place and blocked outside noise. That might be good for you or not. It was good for me. I thought the sound quality was great. I bought four sets of them. The wires are kind of thin. But so far, about a month, they still work fine. Come with the standard three sizes of buds to fit your ears. Just don’t yank them out by the wires and they should last a good while.

I bought these after reading Matija Ferjan’s post, 11 Best Cheap Headphones (Under $50, under $30, under $20) in 2023, on Headphonesaddicts.com.
I agree with him:
BEST IN-EAR HEADPHONES UNDER $10
Panasonic RP-HJE120 are incredibly cheap and basic earbuds that just work well and sound good.
I bought these for my partner, who was in the hospital and used music to fall asleep.
