Review: After 15 years: Best Earphones For My Purposes, still five stars - Update at 2025-Jun-13: I bought my first pair of these earphones about 15 years ago. I've tried others now and then, but for me, these Panasonic over-the-ear earphones outperform them all. These Panasonic earphones typically work perfectly for about a year +/- 9 months. Some connection breaks down for one ear, leaving sound only in the other. So, I get another pair. A wireless pair would please me, but no manufacturer seems to have found a way to make Bluetooth with independence from heavy battery, user-friendly setup, basic sound quality, reliability, and the comfort of these Panasonic over-the-ear earphones. Original Review: I use my earphones while (1) Riding on the bus, (2) Riding on my bicycle, (3) Walking and hiking, and rarely otherwise. Top sound quality is something I would like to have, but I'll never get it, even with the finest earphones, because I use them in noisy environments. Fairly good sound is the best I can hope for. On the other hand, practicality and comfort matter greatly to me. Formerly, I used in-the-ear earbuds, but I got an ear infection, my first since I was a kid, and I felt (sorry, no controlled study on this) that sticking those objects in my ears led to the trouble. So, I switched to these earphone styles that grab the ears. I compare the competitor Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones K ( Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones ) with the Panasonic RPHS46EK Slim Headphones P. I've alternated use of both of them for about 2 months. Either K or P is a good choice. Both are good products. I prefer P. Of dozens of earphone makes and models, P is the best I've ever found for my purposes. K has better sound quality than P, I think, when I sit in a quiet room. On the road, I can tell no significant difference. Wind noise doesn't seriously affect either K or P. They are as good as any other earphones that don't completely cover the ear. K has a straight-thru jack, while P has an elbow jack. I like the elbow, because it goes in a pocket more easily, and because I don't worry about it snapping off, leaving a chunk of metal inside my iPhone. I've noticed no significant noise from the cord with either K or P. The earpieces of K are heavier than the P, so that when I disengage the earpieces (as when I want to hear somebody speaking to me) and hang them over a shirt collar, the K fairly rapidly descend with gravity so they swing in the breeze on the end of 30cm of slack cord. The K earpieces are rather larger than the P, maybe half again the diameter in any dimension. For me, it's more difficult to fit the K into a pocket when not in use. The earhooks on the K are more rigid than the earhooks on the P. Thus the K are a little more difficult to get on/off. I often have to "weave" my ear between the earhook and the pad to get a good fit. The stiffness of the K make them a little less comfortable to wear. Comfort can be increased with adjustment. The P are generally quite comfortable. One of the K earhooks popped off the other day. I was able to snap it back on, without much trouble. This may be a rare event. I haven't enough experience with them to say at this time. No such problem with the P.
Review: Try them. They're cheap and awesome. Srsly. - (Updated Review 2021) 5 Years Later and I use these on occasion. I still own 2 sets of these headphones. Headphone A lost functionality on the right channel, likely because I had washed them too many times accidentally and it finally gave out. Headphone B's cord is now very stiff for some reason, not loose and floppy like they came out of the package. The sound quality has not diminished from either A or B, but I can't say the same for the foam ear pads. B's pads completely disintegrated over time due to normal wear and tear, but they lasted quite a good deal of time overall. A's pad is starting to rip from the rim. Would I buy these again? No. I now have these which i think are quite decent if not equivalent to the Panasonics. https://www.desertcart.com/Technica-ATH-EQ300M-PL-Ear-Fit-Headphones/dp/B001DDIJ24/ (Old Review 2016) These headphones are worth it. Love these these things so much. About 10 years ago I purchased these headphones, cheap, pretty good audio, nothing special. However, they somehow managed to last 9 years when almost all the headphones I'd purchased since then had come and gone, breaking, etc. These Panasonic earphones finally broke when I stupidly ripped the wire and I immediately ordered another pair. They have become a mainstay in my back pocket when out of the house and, even after being sat on daily, still sound great and have zero damage whatsoever. I have faith this replacement will last me just as long as the first. They are a great choice for low profile, high quality listening without having to use bud style headphones. They're quite comfortable and if you're trying to get good, clean audio without catching attention with big, expensive cans, these are it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these be used at bedtime for sleep**
A: These earphones are so light, and so comfortable, you might forget when you are wearing them when no sound is playing. For sleep, with the light weight and the very thin profile, they are extremely comfortable; the clip portion never irritates the backs of the ears. To avoid the wires pulling and breaking, get a short extension 1/8" stereo wire; if there is pulling, the extension wire will usually disconnect rather than pulling on (and breaking) the earphone wire. The wires of this earphone are very very thin. Another suggestion for sleep listening, take an inch or two of the wire directly at the ear portions, and put a piece of adhesive tape on each side, holding that part of the wire against the outside of the earphone. (This looks unusual, so this is a special pair just for sleeping, not outdoors.) If and when the wire pulls on one side, the tape will disconnect, and the earphone wire will straighten, instead of the wire pulling directly and breaking. Just replace that tape with another piece.

**Q: Do the clips open and close, or are these the type that you have to slide onto your ear?**
A: These clips of these specific earphones rotate all the way around, all 360 degrees, there are positional "clicks" around every 40 degrees (9 positions by my count). To me, this is only to prevent them from breaking, I never "open them up" to put them on, they very easily slip on.

**Q: Does it contain the sound of the music well so other people can't hear what you are listening to?**
A: There is absolutely no noise-cancellation for these earphones in either direction. Without playing anything, you will hear everything around you. The only reason others might not hear what you are listening to, is because these earphones do not have an extremely high maximum volume (very good max volume, just not extreme).

**Q: Is the end a straight plug or does it have the bend like some headphones do? I need something straight to fit around my iphone case.**
A: As phrased your question could be interpreted two ways so I'm going to be nitpicky. The metal portion of the headphone connector is straight BUT the plastic portion that the metal pin is mounted in is at a 90° angle to the pin. I think this means that these headphones are not for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good, given how light they are
*by M***E on May 1, 2013*

I have recently had to give up ear buds, but I didn't want to be tied only to "over-the-head" headphones because I frequently wear a wide-brimmed hat outside for sun protection. I ordered these headphones with some amount of skepticism but have been very pleasantly surprised by the listening experience they provide. These are not high-end earphones that deliver rich sound across a wide range of frequencies, but the sound is crisp and clear, not tinny at all when connected to my iPod. And while they do not block out any exterior sound (in fact you can have a complete conversation with someone without taking them off), they manage to deliver decent audio without having to set your listening device to a high volume. The other nice thing about these headphones is that they are very comfortable. The clips keep them in place without pinching the ear or creating uncomfortable friction. In fact, because they are so light, it is very easy to forget entirely that you are wearing them if you happen to turn your device off for some reason. I wear them for up to 90 minutes at a time while taking long walks and have not had any discomfort at all. Best of all, I can wear them with the wide-brimmed hat, which I could not do with standard headphones using a head band. I should add a note about shipping on this item. It is shipped from England (which I didn't notice when I ordered it) so I was troubled by the notice (after ordering) that it would be a month before delivery. But in fact the headphones came within two weeks. I have been wearing them every day since they arrived and am very pleased with them.
