Panasonic Bluetooth Earbud Headphones with Microphone, Call/Volume Controller and Quick Charge Function - RP-HJE120B-K - in-Ear Headphones (Black)

Great out-of-the-box sound, no offensive high or overwhelming bass.Great range, easily reach 10-15 feet on open environment with no walls or doors blocking. Battery is okay (3-4 hours on a full charge), but the low battery sound alert is kinda annoying. A little quirky connection issue. It stutters when I turn my head to the right (phone on shirt pocket). Also the battery box sometimes snags and tends to pull the earphone off.Got it on sale for $15. Can't complain for the price/performance.

Updating my review.The second pair of earphones I got stopped working in less than 5 months.Complete waste of money, would not recommend to anyone.---Original reviewBought these earphones in January (it is October now) because I had been looking for a pair of bluetooth earphones for a while. I've bought the wired version of these earphones for many years since its cheap and it works well, although they always stop working after about a year.Anyway, I was expecting these ones to at least last a year, especially since they are more pricey, but I was wrong. About three weeks ago the earphones bluetooth stopped remembering my phone, so I had to explicitly pair every time I turned on the earphones. I know its not my phone because all my other bluetooth devices are working just fine. This was generally annoying but w/e, I could live with it.Then, one week ago during a workout, the left earphone stopped working completely. There was no audio coming from it. I was pretty annoyed about it, but after turning them off and on a few times I managed to get some sort of sound coming from the left earphone. Basically, whenever there is silence (change of song, for example) there is a very strong static sound coming from both of the earphones for a few seconds. Its extremely annoying and makes me not want to use them anymore. I dont even know how the sound comes from the left one too if music doesnt play from that one anymore.Overall, really annoyed about them. Battery life is pretty bad too. Giving them 2 stars because at least sound quality is ok.

I have had these for a whole now (over 6 months) and they are identical to the old Panasonic wired ones as far as audio goes. I love them as they are so convenient and desecrate for listening to music at work without getting caught. I use a little binder clip to keep them attached to my shirt in the back so they don't slide off. I am paranoid that I will loose them. The PRO being that they are SUPER light weight,comfortable and sound is amazing. CON battery life SUCKS no way do I even get 4 hours of play time,I would say about 2 hours streaming continuously from my spotify on full blast.Charge time sucks also as I want to hurry up and charge so I can immediately start listening to music again. I cannot listen to music while they are charging to the adapter either. I would give them a 4 out of 5 due to the streaming music time only being about 2 hours.The 5 minute auto shut down is kinda annoying too. I know it is to save battery power so you can have longer audio time but I feel that you should be able to turn that feature off and it is not offered with this pair. If anyone knows of any wireless identical to these that have a LONG battery life please let me know,any brand will do. Thanks

The sound quality is balanced, better than other mainstream earbuds . The bass is not too hard and high pitch is not too sharp. The human voice is clear too. If you don't mind the low battery life, it's a good choice.

I love my Panasonic wired earbuds, so I thought I would try the wireless version.The ear pieces themselves are the same as my wired ones and fit well in my ears. The sound is just as clear and awesome as my wired ones. No problem there. They paired immediately with iPhone, no problems there.The main problem is the ergonomics of the wire that crosses over the back of your neck. The battery part is located right in the middle and acts as a little dangling weight. Every time I turn my head or bend down the battery weight falls off to one side of my neck, then I turn my head back and the weight stays put and yanks the earbud out of my opposite ear. I tried to wear these while doing yardwork, but it was impossible. I tried to wear them while riding my bike, same issue. If that battery part just stayed put (double sided tape on the back of your neck?) then it would be fine. But it doesnt, it is REALLY ANNOYING.On my last bike ride with them I actually taped the battery part to the back of my helmet, and they worked beautifully! However, on that same ride,I started to get a lot of static from the earphones. Every few minutes they would cut, crackle a little then the music would come back. They are fully charged, I checked. So I have not worn them since that last bike ride.... will probably hunt for a new pair and return these.

Update (is anybody going to talk about the inexplicably higher price for the Black Version?): I got The Replacements in, and they're okay. The audio quality is good. Driver matching seems to be a little more consistent than on the wired headset. The addition of Bluetooth seems very basic and Half Baked. It's like they just took one of the wired earbuds, chopped off the audio connector, and stuck a Bluetooth module on. I can't find any way to call up any voice assistant or start a call from the headset. The microphone quality is also absolute garbage and basically worthless. The battery life is all so pathetic, coming in at around 2 hours.All in all, I'd say that these are a good alternative to the original wired earbuds if you're unfortunate enough to be stuck on a device without a headphone jack, but the world of Bluetooth audio has disappointed me once again.They sound nearly identical to their wired counterparts, that is to say they have good highs slightly muddy mids and some rather exaggerated lows. If you like the wired version of the headphones then you'll like these. Unfortunately, the right channel on mine died after about 5 Seconds. I'll update my review Once I receive the replacement.
