Panasonic RPHJE120K in-Ear Headphone, Black

Can't forget my first Panasonic headset. Though bass a bit low, but all over awesome. Clarity+Bass+Pitch=4.5/5. Just awesome.

DISCLAIMER:I'm not an audiophile or audio expert by ANY stretch of imagination. In fact, I can barely make out the difference in quality between 64K bit and 192K bit encoded music, but only on the clarity front. I have no idea what warm, cool, airy etc. even imply when applied to earphones.REVIEW:The Panasonic black RPHJE120K was my first ever pair of non-junk, non-generic, non-free earphones in my life, which I picked up in a brick-and-morter store for ₹ 350 (~ $6) and it made a world of difference to my audio experience. I finally understood the difference between 64K bit and 192K bit audio encoding!!! Then I lost them, and had to go back to by generics, as I couldn't find them in the brick and morter stores close to me. That pissed me off enough that I searched online and managed a deal on a pair for less than ₹ 100 (less than $2). First one lasted 2 years till I lost it. The 2nd pair is still running strong since beginning 2014.Over time I discovered that there was a whole world out there, starting from Denon's Red Urban Raver AH-C100(which I bought) all the way through to Sennheiser's IE-800 (I don't think so!!).I cannot make out any difference in sound quality between the Panasonic black RPHJE120K and the Denon's Red Urban Raver AH-C100, which is an order of magnitude more expensive. It definitely helps that the earphone tips that come with panasonic give as good a seal as the ones that come with the denon. A GOOD SEAL IS A MUST, or the audio quality of ANY in-ear earphones will suffer.Pros:1. Amazing improvement over earbuds and generics.2. Very inexpensive.3. Good tipsCons (+ fixes):1. Easily tangled - get a cable manager2. Easily lost - cable manager helps with this3. Somewhat flimsy seal between earplug's plastic back horn and front disk. I needed to keep popping them back together - added a drop of superglue (no affect on listening experience).

These should cost below 700 easily. While they are definitely have good quality sound, they are too jacked up in price range. If you have someone coming from abroad, have them bring it, as it will cost a fraction.

I’ve been using the Panasonic RPHJE120K earphones for a while now, and they’re solid for what they’re supposed to be—budget-friendly, reliable, and good enough for everyday use. But what on earth is going on with the pricing here? These typically go for about ₹825 ($9.99), straight from Panasonic’s own site. But now I see them listed at ₹4,448? That’s almost five times the normal price!Sure, the sound is decent, and they’re comfy enough for long listening sessions, but let’s be honest—no way are they worth ₹4,448. This is price gouging at its finest.If you’re considering buying these, my advice is to wait until they’re back at a reasonable price. There’s no reason to pay such an outrageous amount for something that should be affordable. Save your money and keep shopping around!”
