Questions & Answers

Shopper : What type of speakers are in the headphone?KEARY K : 12 inch Altec-Lansing woofersKEARY K : 12 inch Altec Lansing woofersKEARY K : 30mm Diameter Drivers and Neodymium Magnets Despite their demure profile, the RP-HT21 delivers clear, natural sounding mids and highs along with resonant bass powered by 30mm diameter drivers, neodymium magnets and 16Hz - 22kHz frequency response.
Shopper : Will this work with the samsung III phone?JOAN B : I don't know. I don't have the phone.EMMET S : I don't think so.... the audio plug is 3.5 mm and you must make sure it will fit your phone. it is the large size which fits a regular cd player or amp. It also has another defect...the cord to each ear should have combined into one line instead of two. Otherwise the sound is very good. For the price they can't be beat.GEORGE S C : I don't know.Mike Y : It will play audio just fine and these headphones have good sound (Excellent sound for their price category). There is no microphone built in to the headphones but on most cell phones the microphone on the phone will work for your voice while hearing the conversation through the headphones.
Carrie E : Where could I find replacement foam pads for this model?Carrie E : Thanks PatJOAN B : I don't know; but, you could try asking Panasonic.PAT S : I don't actually know if they will fit well but I just ordered 2" diameter pads elsewhere with hope that they will not be too baggy on the width. I can't provide link. Description was "foam Pad 2-Inch ear cover for philips sony headphone 3pr" and cost was $1.75 + about $4 in shipping.DON P : I am using it without the foam pads either. I don't care the pads. It's one of the cheapest.

good headphones

I like these Panasonic RP-HT21 Headphones. Comfort and quality sound at a reasonable price. Useful for watching TV late at night and not bothering anybody else in the house.

Good enough for professional mixing

I've been using these incredible little phones for over a decade for both reference phone mixing and casual listening. Don't laugh at the retail price... I actually paid $4 US for the pair I'm currently wearing! Amazingly flat frequency response and on-ear comfort/protection allow for all-day mixing and listening, easily competing with high end Sennheisers and Audio Technica.

Excellent Product

This is the second time I bought this product. The experience with the first one was excellent. I searched for the same model and ordered, but I had to wait for it to be shipped (it was back ordered). But it is worth the wait!

Just right earphones

These earphones are just right and I really like them for me as I have a real problem with ear buds they really hurt my ears. I was very happy to find these on your website as they are hard to find elsewhere. The sound quality is very good and needless to say for the price it is perfect. I wear headphones when I work and these are just what I was looking for. Thank you for carrying them.

Excellent headphones for the price

I tend to abuse headphones, using them both at work and home. I purchased a pair of these several years ago, and they have lasted longer than any other pair I have owned. So I recently purchased 2 more, to keep one at the office and one at home. I must admit though, I am not exactly someone who is an audiophile, so I cannot comment with any authority on the musical qualities beyond that I don't hear any great distortions.

Awesome head phones.

Almost as good as my ($) Bose Quietcomfort 15. I can't wear my Bose set to the Gym as they cover my whole ear and make them sweat, so I bought the Panasonic HT21 and they are a 5 on a scale of 1 to 5. They stand right up against more expensive headsets. I have tow big screen Panasonic Plasma TV's in my house and they are the best.

Amazing Value

If youre someone who likes heavy bass music like i do and want to go easy on your wallet, then this is for you. Sound does leak a bit and it's not noise-cancelling. Ive been using it for over three years continuously. One of the best things ive ever bought.

Great Quality Headphones for the price !!!

I bought these for in-flight headphones instead of the horrible ones they sell for $5 on the plane. I bought 4 pairs and gave them to the family. They we pleasantly surprised by the quality sound output and everyone else that tried them was surprised as well. If I lose them or break them, just get more without hesitation. The reason I tried the Panasonic brand without hesitation is that when I was looking for phone headsets with microphone for work, I tried a bunch of different brands up to about $300, but settled on KX-TCA60 which cost about ($) each...which seemed ridiculous. Great quality...amazingly clear and crisp. I bought a dozen sets and we use them everyday. If we break one, we just grab a new set...not an issue. They usually take about 1 year of abuse before something breaks.

Excellent super lightweight headphones

These are best of breed, but you must realize what you are getting. These are inexpensive light, foam pad headphones, that sound great for something only weighing a few ounces and costing very little.. Looks a lot like dollar store headphones, but Panasonic does not make junk. Perfect general purpose headphones for general listening. Don't expect any significant noise isolation. Just nice sounding, balanced headphones.

Amazing low cost headphones

Ok, I'm going to be honest. I bought these because they were not expensive and my kids needed a headset to let them hear their computer games without blasting the living room. I wasn't expecting much, just the ability to hear the sounds. However, I was very amazed to find that the sound was very clear, the bass strong and the headset was actually COMFORTABLE to wear, even though they are not the expensive set. Now, it is true these are NOT top of the line. They do not do any noise cancelling, however, they produce a very clear sound for music and speech from the computer, which is exactly what I wanted.

exactly what I expected

I had purchased this before for my ipod to use at the gym. The wire insulation broke through first, then the wire itself. But the price is right so I ordered two more, But I am pretty hard on it! I did speak to a representative to ask if there was one with a thicker more durable cord. She recommended one but I checked and it would not fit the ipod. I don't think she understood that ipods take a different size connection from a standard stereo.

Good Value for a fair price

Since everything is overpriced, these days (and consumers seem to misunderstand the concepts of supply and demand, these stand out as a good value. If you have a child that you allow to listen to movies using earphones, these are a good value. After my grandchild ruined my valued earphones, these became the perfect choice. There, of course are no noise-cancelling features but, you'll be able to afford the child breaking them at their weakest point (as is the case with all wired earphones: at the wire connection at the ear or at the plug that always gets stretched at the jack. I purchased two, knowing that the price will never be cheaper and the children will probably break another.

Everyday headphones

I have about 10 pair of various types of headphones or ear buds in my home or at work, these are great for the price. Inexpensive but not cheap and sound great compared to other brands and similar styles. Kind of a go to set of phones to start your collection.

Bargain! The one-dollar cheater glasses of audio.

For a pittance, you get very good, clean sound. Not the most durable, but at the price, get some extras and keep them everywhere. The equivalent of one dollar cheater glasses--you have little to lose by trying them and a lot to gain.

Best Small Headphones

By Don

These little headphones are still the best i've had for over 3 years now. they outperform even headphones 6 times the price from other brands. I love the XBS feature, the extra bass will compliment any music and makes techno and hip hop sound really good. I've watched movies with them and explosions are incredibly loud and rumbly. And yet they're small enough to go to sleep with without getting a headache from the pressure. Amazing.

What a gem!

By Kristen

I got these headphones with the first portable cd player I had. It is seven years later and I am still using this pair of headphones to this day! I'm happy to see they are still selling them. They fold up, which makes them easy to carry around with you. I strongly recommend these headphones to anybody. The sound is great and they are extremely durable. Also, there is volume control on the cord, which is AWESOME!!
