Customer Reviews

Comfort and crispness
I bought these headphones when I realized that the ones that came with my portable CD player were horrible. Then, when that player bit the dust and I was forced to buy a new one, those headphones were equally horrible. I replaced them with this PANASONIC and what a difference. The sound is crisper, I get more bass, and they are so darn comfortable. I am going to hold on to these headphones for as long as I can.

Good sound but uncomfortable
These sound really good but the band cuts into the back of my ear and is very uncomfortable. Also a couple of things to keep in mind with this style of headphone:
1) You can't can't wear them and sit in a high back chair or sofa, the neck band is in the way.
2) You can't wear them if you have glasses as the over the ear portion of the band sits right where your glasses frame goes.

very durable, great sound for the price
I've had mine for over 3 years - 3 year of almost constant abuse at the gym, playing games, etc. Very, very durable. I was very happy with the sound as well. These headphones have one of the best performance/price ratios I've seen.
