Customers say
Customers find these headphones comfortable, noting they can wear them for hours without discomfort, and appreciate their excellent sound quality that doesn’t leak out. Moreover, the earphones are well-built, lightweight, and portable, with good functionality and secure ear support that prevents them from falling out. However, the fit receives mixed feedback – while many say they fit nicely, some mention they need to be tighter on the ear.

Nine hours at work every day and the ears don’t ache.
These are perfect for someone who is doing a lot of activities for many hours throughout the day. I didn’t want to rely on battery powered solutions as they wouldn’t last whole day playing. Cable solution is a bit inconvenient on the other hand, but that’s in general, not only these headphones.Another principle for me was to have the ability to listen to the music, hear the surroundings and don’t disturb the surroundings. And this product delivers, so it’s safe to use while walking through areas with some sort of hazard.The sound quality is good as always with Panasonic Just don’t expect fat bass, that’s not the point in this case.The hooks holding the headphones on your ears are made of soft material and are safe if you accidentally pull the cable. They will just retract and you can easily adjust them back to make it fit your ear.- Good quality sound- Don’t block the surrounding noise which is safe in hazardous areas- Comfortable, light and can be worn for many, many hours.

Very comfortable while sleeping.
These earphones have saved my sanity, allowing me to fully drown-out my noisy neighbours at 3am and get a proper night’s sleep.I’ve discovered that a particular sea-noise track that I downloaded, played on a loop at a moderate volume, works almost as well as noise-cancelling technology – so long as the earphones are good enough quality. These ones are. They sound great, with a rich, vibrant quality to their audio reproduction.And they are so, so, soooo comfortable. Light as a feather, soft as… well, a very soft thing… and super-easy to clip on and off my ears. They are slim enough and soft enough that I can wear them all night without feeling a thing, even though I sleep exclusively on the side of my head (switching sides frequently through the night).I have to be careful not to throttle myself with the lead when I turn over, though! My solution is to have the lead round the back of my neck rather than round my throat, and my MP3 player taped to the headboard above my head. This may seem like extreme measures, but my neighbours party all night every night until 5am, and this is literally the only way I can get any sleep.Like I said, these earphones saved my sanity!I docked a star because they’re a little flimsy (I’ve already knackered one set), but they’re cheap enough that replacing them isn’t a huge problem considering how much I need them. And if they put the price up, there is no shortage of similar products out there from which to choose! Also, the ear-clips could benefit from a little padding for added comfort.Overall, I recommend them (and some sea-noise) if your neighbours are keeping you awake.

Well worth the money great little item
Just checked when I bought this item December 2023. My goodness I cant believe the price, they are great even if they had gone after a year I would bought them again. They charge up fast, sound good and when i connected them to my laptop it was instant. Excellent value.

Tinny but fine
These are comfortable to wear but quite loose so I have to have the volume up a bit higher than usual.The sound is quite tinny but they are good for the price.

Poor fit
Maybe it is my ears, but these don’t seem to fit me. They go into place and they don’t fall off easily, and they are so light I forget I’m wearing them, but to get a decent sound I have to push them in towards the front of my ear and hold them there with a finger. If I let go, all the bass is gone and the sound is squeaky. There is no way to adjust them for a closer on-ear fit. As usual, the cord is too short for desktop use and gets in the way if using a keyboard -even another 20cms would have been fine. I will keep them as they are very comfortable and OK for spoken word, but no good for music.

Great
Excellent for ps5 remote. Nice and light, good sound and no more earache from in ear ones.

Almost brilliant!
I don’t often leave reviews but I really wanted to here, mainly because there are quite a few unnecessarily bad reviews for this product. These are headphones that cost around tenner, so have realistic expectations when you buy them – they aren’t going to be the best you’ve ever heard. BUT, as with all headphones under 50 quid there is a compromise that has to be found somewhere between comfort and sound quality. I think these hit the mark brilliantly.I don’t like on-ear headphones with a headband, because they’re impossible to fit in a pocket when you aren’t using them. And after trying very, VERY many pairs of in-ear bud headphones, I still can’t find a pair that are comfortable and that stay in: I find they almost always pop out particularly when you turn your head to check for traffic or if you’re daft enough to attempt any sport.These bad boys answer all those problems. Small enough to still be very compact, but with clips that go over the back over your ears to keep them firmly place no matter what you’re doing. These would stay on if you went for the world pogo record. On a trampoline. In a force 9 earthquake. While drunk.Sound quality isn’t perfect, but that’s the compromise. They’re a bit light on bass, but where others here are moaning that that makes them sound tinny and dated I find it makes for a bright, clear, crisp sound that so far with my tunes work fine across pop, rock, metal and blues. I suspect bass-heads deep into their hip-hop might be a little underwhelmed but what do you expect for such a good price? The bass is still disappointing on headphones 2 or 3 times the price, so just deal with it! Volume seems fine to me too, no problems there.I’ve read a few people saying they don’t fit or can’t get them to stay on. I really don’t understand this, as it’s a very smart, very simple “one size fits all” kind of solution to keeping headphones comfortably in place. If you have ears capable of holding a pair of sunglasses or specs in place, then these are for you. I wear glasses most of the time and even though these loop over the same part of the ear, they don’t get in the way with the glasses at all. I suspect people who can’t get these to stay on would have difficulty working a pencil.If you want versatile, comfortable, reliable and unshakable earphones at a great price then these are for you. If you are interested in filling your head with teeth-rattling bass, keep on searching. But good luck finding anything that’ll do that job for ten quid.The most comfortable headphones I’ve owned for a very long time.

Super ligyt, thin and comfortable. Sound is allright, depends alot on the proximity to your ear canal. But overal great experience. No microphone, but thats allright for me

Excelente! Padrão Panasonic

Very comfortable if, like me, you find ear buds uncomfortable

It solved my purpose. Using earphones is medically wrong. Hence I bought these. I have been using them since a long time (regularly in office). No troubles so far. Works perfectly with laptop, smartphone etc. Good sound, good fit and good looks.Considering the price range, it is the best headphone available in the market.Cons: No microphone. If you are listening to music and you are getting a call….then you know what to do :p

Works nicely with PS5 VR2, and plugged into a PS5 controller. Very comfortable to wear. Sound quality is good. No complaints whatsoever. Amazon is asking me to rate the battery life, but these don’t have or use batteries. They plug in via a stereo jack and use wires to deliver the sound. Very happy with the purchase.
