What the press is saying:
"The Panasonic RP-HTX7s are affordable entry-level over-the ear headphones that fit comfortably, are relatively lightweight, and sound very good for the money. They also don't leak sound, and their retro styling is more hit than miss" ~CNET.com, (July 27, 2012)
Great sound and great looks aren't mutually exclusive. The RP-HTX7 headphones put modern headphone performance in a comfy vintage package, with an ergonomic fit, a four-foot cable, and well-cushioned ear pieces.

Retro Looks
With so many similarly spec'd headphones out there, sometimes it boils down to looks. With RP-HTX7s, Panasonic gave things a vintage twist. Check the old-school perforated leather headband, the generous cans connected to piano-wire sliders, and the muted beige and white colors, contrasting with the big, puffy black ear cushions. Classic looks in a plastic age.
Modern Sound
These headphones boast a neodymium magnet and large-diameter 40mm driver units, ready to pump out the kind of crystal-clear highs, present mids, and hefty low-end you'd find with more premium price tags.
A generous four-foot cord is suitable for home or portable use, and an ergonomic design and relatively light weight mean they're ready for long listening sessions.
These are built to last too, with tough dome housing to handle outdoor uses, and a gold-plated connector to resist corrosion and help ensure great sound.

Color Name:Sheckler Ltd. Ed.
Panasonic's RP-HTX7-RS Ryan Sheckler Signature Headphones are a very good pair of headphones at the entry level of the market. But once you start getting close to list price they are outclassed by many alternatives. I was lucky enough to buy a pair deeply discounted. While these are OK as an extra pair, they should probably be priced much less than they currently are.
It's important to test out cans like these with a variety of music. It's also important to give them time to adjust with extended play before you judge the sound quality. I spent quite a bit of time with these, and I think that there certainly sound good enough for most users. However, do not expect the type of sound quality that is going to blow you away. The sound is just ok.
The fit of these is part of the appeal. If you like the space cadet look of the extended metal head-bands as well as the simple shapes and clean lines, than you will find these to be attractive. These are definitely a candy apple red, so those who plan on wearing these around town will want to be mindful of just how conservative they like their electronics to look.
I noticed a tight fit on my very average sized head that started to give me a headache after an hour or so. With time, these adjusted somewhat but just be aware that they are tight. On the same token, those with small heads may feel less of a pinch but also have to factor in if they mind the fact that the metal bands swing out from the back of the ear pieces, making your head look bigger and rounder. Once again, that's just a personal preference.
The ear and band cushions definitely could have been beefed up a bit. The cord is definitely long enough for standard use on the go, or even for hooking up to a jack at home.
Many people will want a more conservative look, and some who don't care about looks may simply want slightly better quality sound. To that end, the Sennheiser HD201 Headphones win on both fronts. They are not much more comfortable, but they definitely have a lower profile and slightly better sound. At about half the price, they are pretty much a no-brainer for those looking for budget earphones. The main reason to pay the premium for these would be if you really are after the look, in which case you could certainly do worse. But for everybody else, give the HD201s a try.
Though I was happy to test the HTX7s after getting them on sale, I plan on getting a pair of HD201s right away to have as my extra pair. Those who want to move a little further up the food chain and don't mind spending a little more should try the AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-PRO5MS Stereo Headphones or the Audio-Technica ATH-M30 Professional Headphones.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy.

Good headphones, Description is wrong, you don't get extension cable.

The people that are saying these headphones are as good as the more expensive ones must be tone deaf or something. They are good headphones but are not worth more than what they cost ~$40. I got mine for around $21 so they are a bargain at that price. Sound quality is good for most people, the headphones do not isolate outside noise as you might imagine, you can easily hear what's going on around you when the volume is low. These do not come with the extension cable so you'll need to buy an extension if you plan to use these with anything other than a portable MP3 player cable is only 4ft enough to go from your head to your waist. These are also very light, which makes them feel cheap but perfect for portable use. They also seem very delicate with the thin metal wires and plastic construction, but I can't judge on that as I've only had them for a few days now. Bottom line if you are looking for audiophile sound quality and something that feels like it's built well spend the money on the expensive stuff. If you want a good set of headphones you won't feel bad about abusing, letting your kids use them or losing them then get these, perfect for work.

Color Name:White
As a developer, I regularly spend 8-10 hours a day with my head down, music on, coding hard. Having good quality headphones which deliver great sound and great comfort is a must, and surprisingly very hard to find. The Panasonic RP-HTX7, however, meets both requirements, and it does it with style. These headphones fit comfortably around your whole ear, without placing any pressure on the cartilege. The soft leather padding rests against the head, with hardly any noticeable squeeze.
Soundwise, the quality is excellent. I'm the kind of audiophile who has a 7.2 surround system on his TV and a separate one on his computer, just to get the best sound quality. These don't deliver 7.2, but they easily keep up with most 5.1 surround systems. Sometimes the bass is a little weak, but not noticeably for most audio experiences.
All in all, probably the best headphones on the market. We have 2 in our home: mine in white, and my wife's in green. I'd buy another pair "just in case", but we've been going on three years, now, without either even showing so much as a scratch. Built to last. Built for comfort. Built for quality.

Great for the price
There's great soundstaging and kind of tremendous bass on these. The upper mids get muddy at louder volumes, which is a shame because that's where most vocals fall, but I say muddy... Read more

Good headphones for the money.
Nice fit and lightweight. It has good sound quality for the money. Also, consider the Audiotechnica ATH-M30 for good sub-$50 headphones.

Stylish and great sound
One of the biggest complaints I have with high-end cans is that they look absurd outside of a music studio. Granted, these are not Sennheisers in terms of sound quality. Read more

Pinches the ears_uncomfortable after an hour of use
I like the design, but you pretty much get what you pay for ($30). Sounds is decent, but it puts a lot of pressure on the side of your head/ears
