Panasonic RP-HS46E-K On-Ear Earphones Ultra-Slim Profile,High Gloss Finish,Enhanced 30mm Hi-Fi Drivers,Comfort Secure Fit with Ergonomic Ear Hook,,Built-In Mic Control-Stylish Black

I've been using this product for over 15 years - I lost the first one, then the second one broke after a decade - I broke the cord - I think it's safe to say it was long lasting. I am so happy that I've found the exact same product again. I hate ear bud type earphones for multiple reasons. I had another type of clip on ones before, but this one is so much more comfortable in comparison. This one is the best stuff EVER!!! Good sound, comfortable wear, good value for money and works with all my devices. Please don't stop selling it.

Comfortable to wear as fits on top of ear. I can’t stand anything in my ear. Sound quality good Lasted 2-3 years of heavy use. So good I bought again despite trying & returning more expensive products

I don't often leave reviews but I really wanted to here, mainly because there are quite a few unnecessarily bad reviews for this product. These are headphones that cost around tenner, so have realistic expectations when you buy them - they aren't going to be the best you've ever heard. BUT, as with all headphones under 50 quid there is a compromise that has to be found somewhere between comfort and sound quality. I think these hit the mark brilliantly. I don't like on-ear headphones with a headband, because they're impossible to fit in a pocket when you aren't using them. And after trying very, VERY many pairs of in-ear bud headphones, I still can't find a pair that are comfortable and that stay in: I find they almost always pop out particularly when you turn your head to check for traffic or if you're daft enough to attempt any sport. These bad boys answer all those problems. Small enough to still be very compact, but with clips that go over the back over your ears to keep them firmly place no matter what you're doing. These would stay on if you went for the world pogo record. On a trampoline. In a force 9 earthquake. While drunk. Sound quality isn't perfect, but that's the compromise. They're a bit light on bass, but where others here are moaning that that makes them sound tinny and dated I find it makes for a bright, clear, crisp sound that so far with my tunes work fine across pop, rock, metal and blues. I suspect bass-heads deep into their hip-hop might be a little underwhelmed but what do you expect for such a good price? The bass is still disappointing on headphones 2 or 3 times the price, so just deal with it! Volume seems fine to me too, no problems there. I've read a few people saying they don't fit or can't get them to stay on. I really don't understand this, as it's a very smart, very simple "one size fits all" kind of solution to keeping headphones comfortably in place. If you have ears capable of holding a pair of sunglasses or specs in place, then these are for you. I wear glasses most of the time and even though these loop over the same part of the ear, they don't get in the way with the glasses at all. I suspect people who can't get these to stay on would have difficulty working a pencil. If you want versatile, comfortable, reliable and unshakable earphones at a great price then these are for you. If you are interested in filling your head with teeth-rattling bass, keep on searching. But good luck finding anything that'll do that job for ten quid. The most comfortable headphones I've owned for a very long time.

Portable headphones good sound and well made just get practice to put them on as it took me a couple of goes to get them on but sounds great

From wearing headphones at a young age to now, I realised I'd developed a slight dent on the top of my head - I wasn't gonna let that slide and decided to order these to combat that issue. They're super comfortable and quick to get used to plus the sound quality is as good as any other earphone you can buy. You can even wear them in bed and lay on your side! Greatly affordable, durable, lightweight and thin so they don't protrude outwards. Would recommend :D

This is my third pair of these earphones. I've found them really good in the past - comfortable, lightweight, convenient, well-priced - and have had pairs for leaving on my work desk, for carrying around etc. They aren't top quality for listening deeply to music and they aren't noise-cancelling, but they were ideal for what I needed. And comfortable, as I am one of those who can't wear in-ear phones. I bought this pair a few months ago as a back-up spare if needed. Opened the pack last week and used for a couple of work meetings. Put them on a second time and the over-ear clip came off! Assumed it would just clip back in - but nope. Well and truly broken. Massive disappointment as have had good, long use out of previous pairs. Guess this must be a duff set - but unfortunately, probably too late to return to Amazon now.

Very comfy with a decent length cable, good quality sound for sleeping but if you have a harder pillow then it could become a little uncomfortable when laying on your side

Ok for money. These are cheap headphones so you know what your getting, I have them for working in garden and there quite adequate. Fit well on ear,although no adjustment on clip.Sounds ok from radio on phone and act as a fm aerial perfectly.

how anybody has given these headphones a positive review I'll never know. Terrible audio, uncomfortable to wear, and poorly made. Avoid

Update at 2025-Jun-13: I bought my first pair of these earphones about 15 years ago. I've tried others now and then, but for me, these Panasonic over-the-ear earphones outperform them all. These Panasonic earphones typically work perfectly for about a year +/- 9 months. Some connection breaks down for one ear, leaving sound only in the other. So, I get another pair. A wireless pair would please me, but no manufacturer seems to have found a way to make Bluetooth with independence from heavy battery, user-friendly setup, basic sound quality, reliability, and the comfort of these Panasonic over-the-ear earphones. Original Review: I use my earphones while (1) Riding on the bus, (2) Riding on my bicycle, (3) Walking and hiking, and rarely otherwise. Top sound quality is something I would like to have, but I'll never get it, even with the finest earphones, because I use them in noisy environments. Fairly good sound is the best I can hope for. On the other hand, practicality and comfort matter greatly to me. Formerly, I used in-the-ear earbuds, but I got an ear infection, my first since I was a kid, and I felt (sorry, no controlled study on this) that sticking those objects in my ears led to the trouble. So, I switched to these earphone styles that grab the ears. I compare the competitor Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones K ( Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones ) with the Panasonic RPHS46EK Slim Headphones P. I've alternated use of both of them for about 2 months. Either K or P is a good choice. Both are good products. I prefer P. Of dozens of earphone makes and models, P is the best I've ever found for my purposes. K has better sound quality than P, I think, when I sit in a quiet room. On the road, I can tell no significant difference. Wind noise doesn't seriously affect either K or P. They are as good as any other earphones that don't completely cover the ear. K has a straight-thru jack, while P has an elbow jack. I like the elbow, because it goes in a pocket more easily, and because I don't worry about it snapping off, leaving a chunk of metal inside my iPhone. I've noticed no significant noise from the cord with either K or P. The earpieces of K are heavier than the P, so that when I disengage the earpieces (as when I want to hear somebody speaking to me) and hang them over a shirt collar, the K fairly rapidly descend with gravity so they swing in the breeze on the end of 30cm of slack cord. The K earpieces are rather larger than the P, maybe half again the diameter in any dimension. For me, it's more difficult to fit the K into a pocket when not in use. The earhooks on the K are more rigid than the earhooks on the P. Thus the K are a little more difficult to get on/off. I often have to "weave" my ear between the earhook and the pad to get a good fit. The stiffness of the K make them a little less comfortable to wear. Comfort can be increased with adjustment. The P are generally quite comfortable. One of the K earhooks popped off the other day. I was able to snap it back on, without much trouble. This may be a rare event. I haven't enough experience with them to say at this time. No such problem with the P.

Le cuffie sono molto più piccole e leggere di quanto mi aspettassi, ma visto l'uso che ne devo fare, lo reputo un vantaggio. Se usate il pop socket sul telefono potete confrontare, è praticamente uguale. Sono una grande ascoltatrice di podcast ed ascoltarli in cuffia mi permette di continuare a fare pulizie, occuparmi della biancheria, cucinare, girare per casa, fare giardinaggio e quant'altro. Le cuffie normali diventano pesanti e scomode se portate a lungo, se poi hanno il cavo, questo era troppo lungo e mi impigliavo su sedie e altro. Sono passata così agli auricolari, sia bluetooth- batteria debole per l'uso che ne facci, sia con il cavetto. Dalla nascita ho un difetto di udito all'orecchio dx, che è quasi completamente sordo, così ho deciso di portare un auricolare solo, quello sx. Portarli entrambi mi escludeva del tutto dal mondo, eliminare il dx non toglieva nulla alla fruizione del contenuto permettendo però di sentire il citofono, le figlie che mi chiamano, comunicare con gli altri in velocità. L'idea dell'auricolare per tante ore però non mi ispira tantissimo anche per questione di igiene e cercavo altre soluzioni. Beh, queste cuffie sono perfette. Piccole, leggere, ottimo suono per quello che serve a me, comode e non danno fastidio neanche con gli occhiali. Il punto di unione dei cavetti delle due cuffie è parecchio in basso, cosa che mi permette di infilare quello superfluo in tasca o dentro il collo della maglietta. E' anche più leggero dell'auricolare, non sbattocchia e non da alcun fastidio. Riesco a fare tutto ciò che devo fare in casa continuando ad ascoltare il podcast, ma riesco anche a sentire se le figlie mi chiamano. Ottimo acquisto per le mie esigenze. Devo farne scorta, nel caso escano di produzione. Sono prive di pulsanti, rotelline o altro per attivare o disattivare il contenuto e regolare l'audio, sarebbe stato un in più gradito, ma io devo dire che sono molto contenta già così! Se però lo scopo è una più esigente fruizione di materiale audio, non sono la soluzione migliore. Questo però credo sia chiaro già proprio dal tipo di cuffia e anche dal prezzo dell'articolo stesso!

Pour ceux qui ne supporte pas les intra-auriculaires ou les gros casques qui couvrent les oreilles, c'est une bonne alternative, l'écouteur est juste posé à côté de l'oreille. On continue d'entendre un peu les bruits extérieurs et l'oreille continue de "respirer". Je ne sens pas le crochet autour de l'oreille. Côté qualité sonore, c'est basique mais suffisant pour les amateurs. Vu le prix, on a pas peur de se les faire voler.

Super ligyt, thin and comfortable. Sound is allright, depends alot on the proximity to your ear canal. But overal great experience. No microphone, but thats allright for me
