Review on Turquoise Panasonic RP-HJE125-Z Wired Earphones by Matt Watson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

These headphones are useless.

My daughter is almost 10 years old and almost the same height as me due to early puberty - her ears are the size of a small adult like me. This special earplug will NOT stay in your ears, it will fall out instantly! I had the same problem when I tried them. She's had two different types of headphones before and these only occasionally fell out of her ears when properly inserted, but this earbud fell out longer than it stayed in! Maybe we could overlook that if the sound quality was decent. But unfortunately there is NO sound quality because they broke after about a week! My kid is quite grown up with his earbuds and headphones and doesn't abuse them too much. Their last two headphones were budget brands and each lasted over a year before experiencing problems. A week after receiving them for Christmas, she complained that she couldn't hear music well and didn't like it. I assumed she just liked the old headphones better and kept using them. Once I tried them myself: at full volume the sound was less than a whisper! I couldn't even tell what song was playing! I asked her if they were "always like this" (she's had them for over 2 months now) and she replied that "they were fine at first but started sucking about a week after I started sucking." "So it's clear they were like that most of the time. I apologized to her for forcing her to wear broken headphones and told her I would buy her new ones. It was a total waste. We've had similar $10 jelly inserts that were absolutely fine, but they're useless. I don't know if we're just married or what, but they went in the trash can.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
