Panasonic RP-HJE125-Z Wired Earphones, Turquoise

I have used so many earphones over the years and these remain the best for staying in my ears while running. I’ve just gotten adapters to continue to be able to use them with newer cell phone plugs.

For years I was buying JVC earbuds that were pretty decent and fit my small ears well. (After about 18-24 months generally they'd crap out and I'd have to replace them, which was fine because they were like, $10 each.) However, those were discontinued and I had to struggle to find a pair of just simple wired earbuds with a 3.5mm jack to use with my ancient iPod Nano (which is still my preferred music listening device).The sound quality on these is pretty decent (nothing mind-blowing, but also not terrible, and with a decent-enough bass for such small earbuds) and they do a pretty good job of filtering out most outside noise just by how well they fit in your ear. I use them with the smallest tips and I can wear them comfortably for hours. At first I was suspicious of their oblong shape, but I find they don't get pulled out of my ears by accident as easily as my old (round) JVC ones did, so there is something to the shape. (Also, the ear tips seem to stay on better, which is good considering how many times I would lose the tips from my old ones in the bottom of my bag or something.) The cord is also a decent length.I'll definitely keep a stockpile of these around and hope they last me a long time.

I was surprised by how good these sound, and then by how cheap and badly it was made. I just got them and i already know that in like a few months the audio jack is gonna fail or the wire is gonna get pulled in the wrong way and fail. Bonus, the earbuds fit really well

For under fifteen bucks, these earbuds are fantastic. Superior in audio quality to their peers, and far superior (as long as your device is decent) to anything in the Bluetooth budget space. Seriously, these things will provide musical details lacking in many others; the tiny little drivers used in these things are gems; perfectly sensitive and efficient, so they work well even on lower-powered devices.Ergonomically, I find them really comfortable (although every ear is different). I also *really* appreciate that you can tell which is L and R by simply feeling the shape of the bud, since they are angled differently. No need to turn on the lights just to put in your earbuds at night. (My last pair of Sony and JVC buds were so close in shape between ears that I gave up keeping them straight.)They even come in fashionable colors to match your outfit, and if you accidentally leave a pair somewhere, well you're not going to need an insurance policy to afford another set.What's not to like? I hope they make these forever. I'll keep buying a new pair whenever I lose one or they get destroyed by the laundry.

I went through endless pairs of headphones that always died to the same design flaw and Panasonic has the 45° angle at the jack, where as other headphones do not. The Panasonics last and last. The other countless brands I have wasted so much money on, only lived a couple weeks. The Panasonic brand lasts several months so far and is the only brand Ill buy dye to the design.

A lot of earbuds that I have owned seem to have one side lose its sound shortly after purchase. I use these every evening on my Kindle to listen to audio books or when I watch online videos. They are so comfortable and long lasting. Definitely worth a little extra money.

I have purchased many of the older model Panasonic earphones that these replaced. I was looking for them again and saw they only had this newer model out, the 125.( When I received them, they had virtually no volume to them and no bass, like the older model. (and yes I did put the right rubber ear plugs on to fit my ear, which are also a pain to put on) The quality of the headphone also looks and feels much cheaper made. I know these are cheap earbuds, but I would expect they would work at least as well as the older model they replaced. They don't. They are much worse. Very disappointed.

I've had my SoundMagic E10's for a lot of years. They have lasted a long time and the cords have really lasted. However, they don't stay in my ears very good. I am always stuffing them back in and that gets annoying. Also the sound is just so-so.These panasonics are cheaper, and the cords aren't as robust, I can tell already. BUT they are 1/3 the price of the SoundMagic and they stay in, are comfortable and actually sound better than my SoundMagic E10's do.So in the end, these are an awesome set of earbuds for the price. Now we'll just see how they last.
