PanasonicRP-HS46E-K On-Ear Earphones Ultra-Slim Profile,High Gloss Finish,Enhanced 30mm Hi-Fi Drivers,Comfort Secure Fit with Ergonomic Ear Hook,,Built-In Mic Control-Stylish Black

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.

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.

These are great, so small two pairs fit in a standard playing card holder, so easy if you are travelling. Great sound and price too. I don’t like ear buds so these are a great alternative

I have problems with my ears, so I can't actually wear earbuds.Conductive external headphones aren't ideal because they don't block the surrounding external noise and they have to be very high (too high for not disturbing other people in work / transport situations)Traditional surround headphones are too obvious and bulky for me to wear in a lot of situations.These kind of ticked all the boxes for me, they're small enough to sit unnoticed, they don't slip out because of the hooks (even when moving about / running, and I can even wear them with my glasses hooked over my ears at the same time.They do a decent job of blocking outside noises (not entirely, but I wasn't expecting them to as they are just sitting flat to the ear, however they are better at it than the external conductive headphones - they are a definite step up there)They have a good clear sound on them, so the volume doesn't have to be turned all the way up, which is always a bonus for the ears.The base isn't as powerful and great as some headphones, but again, for the design that's not unexpected and it does a decent enough job that you still get a good amount.They were exactly what I hoped they would be when I first took a chance on the design; there are expected limitations to it, but the headphones handle them well. My original purchased set are still going and I've decided to get an additional extra; they impressed me enough to come back to them again, and I would highly recommend them.

This is my third pair of these earphones. I've found them really good in the past - comfortable, lightweight, convenient, well-priced - and have had pairs for leaving on my work desk, for carrying around etc. They aren't top quality for listening deeply to music and they aren't noise-cancelling, but they were ideal for what I needed. And comfortable, as I am one of those who can't wear in-ear phones.I bought this pair a few months ago as a back-up spare if needed. Opened the pack last week and used for a couple of work meetings. Put them on a second time and the over-ear clip came off! Assumed it would just clip back in - but nope. Well and truly broken. Massive disappointment as have had good, long use out of previous pairs. Guess this must be a duff set - but unfortunately, probably too late to return to Amazon now.

Good value for the price. Sound quality is good and they look well made. I use them to plug into a guitar amp so it doesn't annoy anyone else. I've noticed I have to turn the amp up quite a lot more but that's no problem. Work as they should so pleased with them so far.
