Panasonic RP-HT225E-K Monitor Headphones - Black

EDIT: I've bought my 5th pair in 2026 because thes eehadphoens are amazing. My older pairs still work but wanted a new pair for a new setup I have now. They're my favourite headphones, very clear, decent sound quality, not much bass but I can live with it for the price. I have now owned these headphones for 1 1/2 years and they are still going strong. I use them everyday for at least 3 hours and I can safely say they are very reliable and very much worth the price. I find them very comfortable and good for watching videos and gaming. They do lack a bit of bass and can be quiet at times but overall the sound quality is very good. I by no means look after them either, I have dropped them and tripped over them numerous times but they keep going. The ear pads are still comfortable and the cable is a good length and has lasted perfectly fine (unlike previous more expensive gaming headphones I have owned). Very happy with how well built they are and would definitely buy another pair.

Great wired over-ear headphones, comfortable, easy to use inline volume control via an analogue thumb wheel but no bass/treble adjustment, decent length of wire. Only gripe is that the material used on the ear cups breaks down and flakes admittedly not until a couple of years have gone by, but they then get replaced even though they are still working perfectly! Hence, I have had 4 pairs now replacing when you start getting black bits everywhere! They are cheap as chips but it’s just a shame for the planet.

Wow, I was blown away. Really didn't expect to have this quality of headphones for £11. Would easily pay £30 up to £50 for these. Can get very loud, which some people like. Can't find a problem with the sound, has enough bass for people who feel that it's important, and listening to music styles from Rock to 8bit, these headphones definitely do the job better than the pricetag tells me they do. When I put them on, I can't hear anything around me too, and I don't turn them anywhere near all the way up. There is a bit of noise that escapes from the headphones, though, but unless you're in a silent environment with the music blasting it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Sound: 5/5. If the price tag was £50, 4/5. Noise Cancellation: 5/5. Noise 'leak': 3/5 Comfort: 5/5 (I've worn them for hours and hours and I didn't feel the little bit uncomfortable, so as long as you have a break from them every few hours or so you'll be totally fine) Cable: 5/5. Good length, hasn't broken and is the 2nd longest lasting headphones I've ever had already! For any gamer out there that wants a pair of headphones for gaming, these are perfect. Makes you feel so immersed and you can pinpoint footsteps quite well which is important for the FPS games.

Excellent for my ancient ears, sound very clear. The long cable and in line volume control really helps me to enjoy my TV and discs in comfort. Very pleased

Headphones ok but the jack didn't work. The box was open. So not too happy as I had to go a buy another Jack.

The Panasonic RP-HT225 Headphones have been Available for Over 30+ Years and they have never Changed anything About Them That Tells you something - People Buy Them & Love Them , I Know Because i Have used these headphones since 1998. I Can Tell you the Good & the Bad about these Headphones as i am a musician and Like to Master my Music Only Using these headphones as the Frequency Responce i have got so used too i can not master with any other Headphones. If Somebody Offred me a Set of OLLOAUDIO S4X 1.3 Calibrated Studio Headphones that cost about £400 a Pair but i had to Give up my £15 Cheap Panasonic RP-HT225's for good - I would Not Take the Deal as the Panasonic RP-HT225 actually Has A Wider ( Not Quite as Flat Responce ) & Higher Top End than the £400 Pair. I Don't Know how Panasonic Make the Drivers in these Headphones so Capable for £15 but they Do ! and they Work - Not Marketing Hype - I challenge anybody to find a set of headphones that can produce the Same SUB Bass & Top End for the same Price or Even 4X the Price. Another Good Point about these headphones is the Length of the Cable its about 3 Meters Long which Means they have not Skimped out on Cable Length & Yes They Come with 6.35mm & 3.5mm Plugs. O.K So Whats the Bad Points - and Yes they Do have Bad Points - The First Bad Point is the Ear Pads - after about 3+ Years the Ear Pads start too loose the Black Covering & You will no this as you will see little tiny Black parts on your ears when this happens & Also the Plastic Does Crack with Stress of Repeated Taking them on & Off - but i use them about 15 Hours a Week and recon to break them about every 4-5 Years but please remember they only cost £15 so thats really Good Value Really. Another weak Spot is the on cord Volume Control - It Tends to get a bit Scratchy at about 3.5 Years Use Again not bad for £15. Uses - Quality Sound for home Hi-Fi Listening - Mastering Audio once your Used to the Curve of the Frequency Responce - DJ's Could Use these too as they are Loud & have good isolation from Outside Sources of Sound & Can be used on One Ear Only for Beat Matching Mixing. Not so Good for Wearing while Traveling as the cord is too long for this use Case. Overall - Great Sound - Will be good for about 3.5-4 Years of repeated use if cared for - good for most static use Scenarios - No Good for Mobile Use as the cable is way too long for this. MY RATING - As a Long time User - It's Got to be 5 Stars for Sound Quality & Price

Bought as a cheap spare pair for monitoring one of my synths. Sound not perfect but adequate for what I'm using them for. Bit tight even on my small head and definitely painful if fitted over glasses. Good value at £15 and does the job

I'd bought a pair of these well over a year ago for my son to play on his laptop with and they are still going strong. Whereas I on the other hand have been through several pairs that have either ended in breakages or sound eventually going. The cord length on these is very generous and the over-ear cups are plenty big enough for any sized ear. My son likes to play games and listen to music and he could be sat right next to me and I wouldn't hear anything at all. The in-line volume control is always a great addition, and usually one of the main things I look for in a pair of headphones. Sure they may be rather plain looking, but I don't buy headphones to look pretty. They are comfortable, and they sound great. The only thing on my son's pair that is showing some wear is around the cushioning, but they are over a year old and they do get a lot of use. For the price these really are great headphones! So now I've bought some for myself and we can play shoot-em-up video games together without disturbing the neighbours.

As described, good for the price.

These headphones are perfectly priced; entry level at best but adequate. You may find yourself ready to move up almost immediately.

Sehr gut

Los he recibido hoy, y me han causado buena impresión, aislán bien de ruidos externos, reproducen con sonido suave, son cómodos y se ajustan bien, aunque quizás presionan un poco, pero no le doy demasiada importancia. La calidad relación precio es buena y recomendaría su compra sin duda alguna.

Belle cuffie, comode, circumaurale come le cercavo. Isolano molto bene, non danno fastidio alle orecchie nonostante il padiglione non sia grandissimo. Il suono è buono, anche in virtù del fatto che stiamo parlando di un prodotto di 15 euro. RIsultano un pò plasticose, ma non danno noia alla testa ( sono anche pelato....), hanno un cavo di 3 metri con la rotellina del volume che non guasta mai. DIrei promosse a pieni voti.
