Review: Super sound, comfort and price. - I had certain requirements after reading about a variety of headphones. I didn't need a mic, they had to be over the ear not on the ear, clear sound, adjustable headband and wired so I didn't have to use or charge batteries. This headphone checked all the boxes and it just happened to be a company I was familiar with Panasonic. They came today and I'm totally pleased. The sound on my laptop was so low but now I actually had to turn it down. They are very comfortable and super easy to adjust. I could wear them all day. Read about this one. You can get it with a mic if you want. I couldn't ask for a better headphone for listening on my laptop.
Review: These sound great. A deal at thrice the price. - Forget for a minute that these are under 7 bucks. I purchased these headphones primarily because I needed some cheap cans that would allow me to play video games and still hear what is going on around me in the real world. Xbox One now supports Windows Sonic, a surround-soundifier for headphones, and I wanted to take advantage of that. Figured these would be less isolating than my earbuds or over-ear Skullcandys, and the price was right. I didn't have much expectation beyond that. TLDR version: These sound way better than I expected. It has been a few years since I had a heaphone of this design, a lower-end "came with your '90s Walkman or CD portable" on-ear type. Both the very best and very worst I've owned were made by Sony, and if my aural memory serves, these are much closer to the good ones. Bass is not super-powerful but there's certainly enough low-end thump to make video games sound satisfying. From guns and explosions in Wolfenstein II, to thunder and horse-hoof beats in Oblivion, these are more than adequately bassy for a sense of realism. I can listen thru these quite happily without wishing for my larger and bassier Skullcandys. Upper-bass and lower mids are smooth and warm, never honky. Upper-mids and treble are airy, if a teensy bit over-emphasized. I don't mind that, as it makes dialogue and quiet passages in music easier to hear at low volume. I've been mostly listening to electronic chill and ambient thru these, with a few classical tunes here-and-there. No complaints. Bass is, again, not mind-blowing, but just enough for low strings, low brass, drums, and various electronic bloops and bleeps. Stereo imaging is great, seeming to extend well beyond the boundaries of my head. I think this helps the illusion of 5.1 surround when listening to Windows Sonic. Rain in the game Oblivion sounds like it's really falling all around me, and the voices of various characters walking around the game all come from distinct points in space. Shows like Stargate Universe on DVD and Battlestar Galactica on desertcart Prime sound similarly spectacular. I would say the sense of surrounding space is more realistic with these than with my earbuds, and the fact that I can still hear my loved ones around me while listening is a great bonus. I can't find too much fault with these. Hard rock and hip-hop might sound a bit thin and screechy through these headphones, especially when cranked to eleven. The plug might be too fat to fit through some phone cases, so use an extender or remove your case for portable listening. Build quality is not phenomenal, but as long as you're not stuffing them in a backpack or gym bag, and treating them like a grown adult should, they will last quite a while. These would be great to wear while walking around a park, while shopping, or anywhere else where you want your tunes with you but still want to hear what's going on in the real world. Ok, now we can talk about the price. Holy crap, 7 bucks??? They're worth at least 20. Score one for Panasonic! Get 'em!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they enclose the ears or press against them? I can't tell how big they are.**
A: With a center hole inside the padding of only about 1 & 3/4's inches around, these do not come close to enclosing my ears.

**Q: Will this headphone jack fit through the headphone jack on my iphone 5s life proof case?**
A: Fits fine through my Otterbox Defender (iphne 5S)

**Q: Down the road, will 2-inch-diameter replacement foam earpads fit these Panasonic headphones?**
A: I just measured them & they're actually oval, not circular. Approx dimensions are 2.25 x 1.75, so they're more than 2" at the longest dimension. You could try them, but more than likely, won't fit. Perhaps Panasonic sells some?

**Q: Will these work well outside brisk walk or running with an iPod?**
A: We only use these on a computer, so I'm not sure how they'll function with movement. I can see them maybe working on a brisk walk, but they might be shaky for a run.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW, but... !!!
*by K***6 on January 7, 2026*

Has a very, very low-level volume on one side, from the 'mic button' (???). So, i tape it into the pressed-down position, when both ears went low from pressing & letting the button go. Taping made both ears work just fine. (Keyboard's new, but didn't work with my BT Adaptor b/c it made the keys have timing lag, or echo !!! lol...) SO, both ears working, have a VERY FULL & REALISTIC, sound. So much so, that it sounds like it's LIVE, in a room where it needs to be silent. & the headphones trick me b/c it SOUNDS like it IS LIVE, when i forget i'm wearing them. I've double-taked a lot forgetting i'm wearing them b/c they are very comfortable.
