5 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the price.......2007-12-18

These headphones have done so well for me that I have ordered several to give as presents. They sound really good, have good bass, and the have a strong volume level. They are also comfortable. The inline volume control really makes them a great value. The one negative is that they will not stand up very well to abuse - I have had an ear piece break off when they fell of the counter and hit the floor, and the chord will not stand up well to significant tugging away from the ear cups.

4 out of 5 stars Nice pair of sturdy headphones........2007-04-11

I bought these almost two years ago and have just noticed that one ear is starting to short out(Is that the right term to use when you are talking about the volumes on either ear being different?) I mostly use them when I'm trying to fall asleep.

The cord has been stepped on(Sometimes resulting in the headphones being yanked off my head to crash onto the merciless concrete) and headphones have been dropped on countless occasions. So far the only damage it received is the internal wires being pulled causing one of the ears to short out. I'm usually a lot more careful with my belongings, so it probably would have lasted longer.

The cord was the right enough length for me, could be a bit shorter; it would always get caught on my knee which would cause the headphones to be pulled off. The only discomfort I've had with the headphones is after prolonged usage my ears would hurt from the pressure. For those with long hair - if you put it around your neck, be careful when you remove them; I've had strands of hair ripped out.

As far as sound goes(I'm no audiophile), I think they're good; they block out noises decently enough. The inline volume control is a godsend since I don't want to look at the bright screen of my MP3 player at night. The folding design is nice, though the cord won't stay wrapped around it(Still have yet to buy one of those cord wraps).

Aaand that's about all I can think of saying today.

5 out of 5 stars These headphones work GREAT for the price!.......2006-03-22

They are known to short-out over time, well over a long long time; talking at least 6 months to a year. (You can tell if yours is shorting out if you turn the volume control knob up and down.) I think if people hear a lot of noise, they tend to believe it's already a piece of junk. All you have to do is adjust it, so you can hear full sound on both sides. That's why they're only about 10-12 bucks anyway. If you want longer lasting headphones, just try to take good care of them or simply look into another brand.

For the new Panasonic RP-HT227s, the sound these babies put out is astonishing.. that's if you have a good enough MP3 player or CD player. If these headphones sound bad then obviously it may have something to do with your MP3 sound quality or what kind of player you got. The bass is superb for casual listening, great audio clarity and design too!

Update 1: I typed up this review March of 2006, and now it's near the end of July. As of today, they are STILL working great!

Update 2: It is now 12/18/07 (yes, you read that right.. 2007!) and I've been missing these headphones for a long time now (they ended up breaking). I couldn't find the RP-HT227 models ANY WHERE in the stores for some reason, so a few weeks ago, I decided to purchase them again on Amazon. The UPS truck knocked on my door, and to my surprise they arrived in today. I can now *hear* why I missed these headphones so much. :'-)

2 out of 5 stars They break very easily.......2005-12-03

The sound quality of these headphones is good enough, and the volume control on them is a very nice feature. The problem with them is that they break easily. I dropped my pair in the house and the ear piece broke off, the material that holds them together appears to be of very poor quality.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage. Sounds Great, though..........2005-10-08

Can a company suffer from a split personality disorder? Buy a Panasonic, & discover for yourself!

For the price, the sound, the technology, and the added frills are stunning. But the shoddiness of the materials used & construction, is even more stunning.

As other reviewers have noted, the cord is very thin, & given to shorting out with very little use. About two months after I purchased mine, I knocked them off my desk and the plastic frame broke. Bear in mind we're talking about a 2-1/2 ft. fall onto a plastic mat over a plush carpet. Break out the duct tape!

Another month later, I dropped them as I was removing them from my head. This time they fell onto the seat of my office chair. They broke in two other places.

I recently went through a similar experience with a Panasonic vacuum cleaner. This too gave outstanding performance, but it too suffered from flimsy construction in areas where stress (from the motor) was likely to occur.

Far as I'm concerned, these headphones aren't even worth the going used price on Amazon.
