Excellent value for an outstanding earbud Mar 10, 2011
By Vipervick
"Metal Enthusiast"
These Panasonic earbuds blew me away. I had originally upgraded the default Apple earbuds with Bose earbuds. I really liked the overall improvement in sound. And I had no reference for quality headphones.
I workout between 2-3 hours, 6 days a week. So my headphones take a beating and they have to resist sweat. The Bose cable broke internally near the jack so I was without music. Working out without music sucks, a lot. I need that hard and heavy metal to keep me pumped.
To further complicate things, I am deployed on a US Navy warship to the Western Pacific. Options are severely limited. Luckily we stopped in Korea soon after the Bose earbuds broke. I was at the NEX on the base there and they only had approximately 5 headphones (brands) total. I didn't know what to buy. I definitely wanted the best sound I could get. I knew the Bose sounded good, but they were unavailable. So I took a gamble and bought these.
For under $20, these have got to be the best earbuds I have tried so far. But, I haven't listened to anything high end. The most I ever spent was on the Bose. I would buy these any day over the Bose again. The quality to price ratio is just too good.
Overall sound quality is really good. I mostly listen to heavy metal which has a lot of distortion, especially on the low end of the spectrum. Cheap (in quality) speakers and headphones just can't reproduce the music accurately. And the bass response in this set is unbelievable. I can even listen to bass centric music, like Bass Mekanik I Rock Bass, without these Panasonics even breaking a sweat.

The finest pair of $1,000 earbuds I've ever owned Jul 09, 2011
By Curtis G When my V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds broke, so did my heart. I'd never known how deeply in love I could fall with a pair of $20 earbuds, and when the end came, I wasn't sure I'd be able to go on. After drunkenly wallowing in sorrow and filth for several days, I finally pulled myself out of my fetid hole of mourning, took a shower, and started searching Amazon for a reason to go on. I decided that I would be willing to spend an extra 10 or even 20 dollars on some new earbuds. After all I'd been through, I felt I deserved it.
I've been a fan of Panasonic products for years, so when I found these earbuds using my sophisticated (and patented) Amazon search algorithm, I was confident they would not only help me get over my loss, but also allow me to listen to my music and podcasts in auditory bliss. Like most relationships, it turned out to be a mixed bag. Using no EQ at all, the bass response was not as strong as I prefer, but I found an EQ setting on my iPod that works for me.
There are few things in life that make me angrier than having my earbuds ripped from my ears. What I really, really like about these earbuds is the shape of the buds themselves. Whereas many other buds are round, these are slightly oval, and fit my ear canal much more comfortably without creating a vacuum seal. If you believe that most household objects are inanimate, wearing a pair of earbuds while walking around your house will disabuse you of that notion post-haste: furniture will literally come to life, grab your headphone wire, and violently yank your earbuds out, taking your eardrums with them. At least that's what happens in my house. Now when this happens, it's less painful, and slightly less irritating. I was disappointed to learn, after ordering them for $29.99, that others had bought them for less than $20. The trade-off is less eardrum pain, so I'd say it was worth it.
What was really surprising, though, was finding that these earbuds are now valued at ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! You might think that after a run-up like that, I'd want to cash in and maybe diversify my earbud portfolio, but I'm going to hold. I might even refinance them--take some cash out and do some improvements on them. Next year they should be worth at least two grand--unless, of course, we're looking at some sort of earbud price bubble...
The bottom line is this: These are good low-end earbuds for 30 dollars. They're even better for 20. If you're like me and you can't see yourself spending a hundred bucks on earbuds, give these a shot. Unless you're more about the bling, and then there's Skull Candy...
Update 7/12/11: Good grief, the bottom dropped out much faster and farther than I expected. Now they're $16.99? Outrageous! Now I'm underwater on my earbuds and I'll have to contact the bank about some kind of program to allow me to keep my earbuds in these turbulent times. Because if owning my own earbuds isn't the American Dream, I don't know what is.
Update 3/2/12: I seem to recall that these buds sounded too "bright" when they were new, so either they've broken in or I've gotten used to them, as I use no EQ settings now and they sound really good. (Or I could be thinking of a different pair entirely. I'm becoming sort of a budslut.) However, the cable is a constant annoyance. Not only are they too long, but they're thin and prone to tangling. I swear, you can put these down on a table and forget about them for 10 seconds, and when you turn back around you'll find them in a knot of Gordian proportions. I'm currently testing some Bluetooth buds, but I'm not impressed so far. Lately I've been winding up the cable and clipping my iPod to the back or my shirt collar or my hat, just to keep the everything out of my way.

Good sound and very durable. Jan 21, 2011
By M. Miller I got these after having wasted my money on other brands that just fell apart after barely being used. These seem to be just like every other Panasonic branded electronic item I have ever owned: durable.

Superb Dec 28, 2010
By G. Hipps Bought these originally to replace the ones I had (at an airport of all things) on the recommendation of the sales guy Yes, i was really leery of him after he had tried to sell me A 185 dollar set of ear buds when I was just needing them for a two hour flight. These buds compared very favorably with the Dr Dre buds at 15% of the price even at airport prices! I lost them (sigh) and replaced them with the same ones. TOTALLY satisfied!

Good quality and good prices at Amazon.com Dec 20, 2010
By Bruce Lee
"Let-it-be"
I am just like so many people who bought this Panasonic Earbud is very satisfy and happy. For under $20.00, Panasonic RP-HJE270 has an excellent sound, very comfortable in the ear. In my opinion, better sound than the iPod earbud that came with the iPod you purchased. Fit perfectly in my ear canal and block 80% of the unwanted noise. You won't regret a bid to invest $20.00 for this nice sound earbud for your iPod. I am glad I made the decision to buy Panasonic product again on Amazon.com. You won't regret it to own this Panasonic product. Thank you Panasonic and Thank you Amazon.com.
