 Comfort and crispness August 5, 2004

I bought these headphones when I realized that the ones that came with my portable CD player were horrible. Then, when that player bit the dust and I was forced to buy a new one, those headphones were equally horrible. I replaced them with this PANASONIC and what a difference. The sound is crisper, I get more bass, and they are so darn comfortable. I am going to hold on to these headphones for as long as I can.
 Over the Head are more comfortable September 2, 2004

Pros:
They have a volume control which is extremely nice if you have your MP3\CD player in your bookbag, or other hard to reach place to change the volume.
Has one cord coming out that help tangling and getting the headphones off.
Great sound quality.
Cons: Not very comfortable for the first couple minutes until you get used to it, also when you take them off.
The headband is too big, it doesn't fall off because it is tight on the sides of your head(which hurts a bit but you can bend it some to help). I have a smaller body and a smaller head but I still think it shouldn't be that big.
Overall: If you can do without "behind the head" than get the Sennheiser px100 or the heavier Sennheiser HD-497.
I also that these panasonics heard these are the most comfortable behind the head headphones.
 Good sound but uncomfortable May 26, 2005

These sound really good but the band cuts into the back of my ear and is very uncomfortable. Also a couple of things to keep in mind with this style of headphone:
1) You can't can't wear them and sit in a high back chair or sofa, the neck band is in the way.
2) You can't wear them if you have glasses as the over the ear portion of the band sits right where your glasses frame goes.

these are good headphones. the bass is deep and the treble is clear. it also has a volume control. i recommend these. if u dont want v. control i recommend hs500/hs520 (same thing) cuz they have the same frequency range (actually deeper on the low end) and feel just as comfortable.
Nice look, so-so sound July 13, 2006

I was attracted to this set of headphones by the design, volume control, price, and Panasonic name. While I generally like them, the sound quality could be a little better. When listening to some songs, the headphones impart a distinct hollow or "metallically" sound to the music. For instance, the music tends to sound okay, but the lyrics and voices fade into the background and don't sound like they should. This is especially noticeable on a song like The Eagles' "Lyin' Eyes". The vocals should be smooth and melodic, with the music "just being there" but somehow, the experience of listening to the song on these headphones just isn't pleasant. The headphones perform well, and they're okay for listening at the office, when the point is just to drown out background noise and focus on your computer, but if you really want to enjoy your music, I'd pick another product.
