Panasonic RPHT030ES Monitor Headphones - Silver

Great sound quality for the price, rivals much more expensive headphones.I don't like in-ear units so these are my go to cheap headphones.Total cable length is about 1.2m not 3m, if that's important to you.Comfortable for long term wear but these are not closed ear phones so others will hear some sound leakage.UPDATE: on the negative side, these don't last too long. After about 18 months the sound fails one one channel (it's ALWAYS the cable!) and the headband ratchet mechanisms disintegrate at about the same time. I've just replaced the cables on 3 pairs of these, bodged a ratchet repair with tyraps and they're all working fine again. Replacement foam pads are also easy to get. However, they are very cheap and the sound quality is still great!!!

I needed some headphones for online video courses. In-ear were uncomfortable, and my expensive hi-fi 'phones were too heavy and hot to wear for long periods.On first trying these Panasonic phones, the sound was muffled, and I nearly sent them back. But after a few hours' use, they opened up and gave much better sound quality. I find them great for general everyday listening to music, radio, online TV, DVDs, YouTube videos, etc. The smooth sound profile makes them comfortable to listen to for extended periods and makes music listening more pleasant. They are also supremely light and comfortable.The only warning I would give is that the cable is quite short, so probably not long enough to use for watching TV.Happy to recommend these phones for the price I paid.

I was gifted an unwanted pair of these over 6 years ago and i always thought they sounded really nice but i had no idea they were as reasonably priced as this... OK, the headphones may not be the most luxurious but that said, they are lightweight, durable and comfortable and the sound is easily as good as a pair costing in excess of £100... or would not be far off it in my opinion... and i listen to music all day and night.It is unlike me to buy the same product again, i wanted a reasonably priced set of headphones but did not want to forego the sound if possible and i found these by typing the code in from my existing pair (which only stopped working in one ear, i suspect the wire eventually came loose but i have a bad habit of wrapping the cord around the folded phones whenever not in use and besides, 6 years use can't be bad going anyway and i could probably fix these if i tried).A terrific price for a set of headphones that deliver a decent sound in all areas, bass is rich without distortion... they may not "blow you away" but for the price you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sound they produce... and they will last a long time too.I would give these 5 stars for the price but 4 stars as they are obviously not high end headphones but at this price who's complaining?

I've had Beats and other expensive headphones, and so I didn't have much expectations for this, but I am absolutely blown away! I actually prefer these to my other headphones!The sound quality is just amazing. The bass etc isn't too overpowering, but is just spot on!I thought it would hurt my head when wearing these, but it doesn't. It feels very light and comfortable.The wire isn't too long, so if you plan to plug these into a computer, you might struggle if it has to be plugged into the back.Another note is that the connector isn't straight - it's a L shape. This is fine, but I found that I had to remove my phone case to get the headphones plugged into my phone.Definitely recommend these! They fold into a nice portable size as well, perfect for travelling etc. My favourite headphones!Hope this review helps.

Phones very goodfor light listening, would recommend.

Very good value

the left headphone doesnt work. id say its fine for its price but just so you know it doesnt cancel out background noise and is also very easy to hear even if you arent wearing them.

I am on my 2nd pair, the foam of the ear pads of the first pair just disintegrated and I have not been able to find replacement foam ear pads. This appears to be the weakness of this product. On the other hand they are not expensive to replace. The sound is well balanced with reasonable lows and highs, but if you want that big base thump, you may want to look for a different product. I like that they fold up, great when traveling, however because they do not completely cover ears, there is no reduction of ambient noise. Not too good in noisy environments.
