*PROs: -Very loud (I never go louder than 25% on my iPhone)
-Sound quality (Clear stereo sounds)
-Great bass (Easy to hear all of the low frequencies)
-Noise isolating (At 10% volume, near impossible to hear people talk)
-Affordable (I got mine for $8)
-Purple (Love the color. I'm sure the others are great, too)
-Great fit (Has yet to fall out of my ear)
*CONs: -Hurts ears (After hours of use, ears may start to feel sore)
-Noise isolating (Touching the cord sounds loud)
-I didn't buy sooner (Super great earbuds!)
*Detailed Explanation:
These earbuds are quite loud; I always check the volume before pressing play, just in case it's at 50% volume or higher. It's possible that they produce just as much noise as many other earbuds, but these isolate a lot of noise due to the way they are designed, which I'm sure enhances the volume.
When I say noise isolating, I don't mean that they have any sort of isolation built in; rather, they fit so well in the ear that most outside noise isn't even able to make it to your eardrum. I've had people having normal conversations directly next to me, and I could barely hear them at 10% volume. At 5%, it was still really hard to make out any word they said. This may be a problem for some though, because many internal noises, such as breathing and swallowing are heard more. I'm used to it now, but at first it was weird. Similarly, if you move your head or move the cord, it produces some noise. I've also tried mowing with these earbuds. With my old, Apple earpods, I had to crank the volume up all the way, which is not only extremely loud, but bad for your ears. With these, I had the volume at less than 50%, clearly hearing every note while maintaining a comfortable volume.
I've noticed some people in the reviews commented on the bass. Now these aren't huge speakers or even a full headset, so the bass isn't overpowering, but it is definitely there. I hear every frequency sound that I hear with my turtlebeach headset. It's not something that makes your chest reverberate like at a concert, but it's more than I expect from any speakers the size of a dime.
Most earbuds I have owned don't seem to like my left ear. I'm not sure why, but they have a tendency to either fall out or lay at a slight angle, making the volume louder in my right ear. With these, the left (and the right) feels natural, and the earbud has yet to fall out. Conversely, if I leave the earbuds in my ears for over an hour, then take them out, they feel slightly sore (this is more of a problem with my right ear than my left). It's not a bad pain, just kind of like someone flicked your ear (we'll say in the summer, when you're not cold); it goes away after a few minutes.
*Final Thoughts/TL;DR: I'm very happy that I purchased these earbuds. They are affordable, trendy, and - more importantly - excellent quality. I love the way they make everything sound and that they fit both of my ears. The noise volume is fantastic, especially when coupled with the bonus noise isolating effects. Unless you want the highest quality earbuds on the market, I highly recommend buying these earbuds. 9.5/10

Panasonic RPHJE120K In-Ear Headphone: Great once you learn how to wear them
I've had a love/hate relationship with these earbuds until I learned how to properly use them (I've had them for a few weeks now). These are my first pair of in-ear earbuds and as many have already said, they are to be worn sealed into the ear canal to get the proper fidelity. You cannot simply fit them into the opening of the ear and get any bass response at all. I knew this but didn't know how you were supposed to get them inserted properly and I struggled in the absence of any pertinent guidance. I understand that everyone's ears are shaped a little differently but what I found that worked for me was to insert the bud into the opening of my ear canal and rotate it while applying inward pressure (kind of like turning a screw) until the cable/shaft points upwards (see my pic). When the bud is situated this way it slides into my ear canal and makes the appropriate seal and I can run the cable behind my ear. No amount of inward pressure could get the proper seal with the cables hanging downward like you would think it is intended. It took me a while to figure this out. I also discovered that there is a fine line between pushing it in just enough to create the seal and pushing it in too far. Go too far and they begin to hurt rather quickly... and they hurt pretty bad. So find the spot where they seal but go no further. Again, it took me a while to figure this out. When positioned correctly I can wear them for extended periods.That being said, once fitted correctly - sealed in the ear canal - these buds provide an adequate (quite a bit actually) amount of bass and sound isolation compared to the regular headphones that simply rest in front of the ear opening. The bass was too much at first. I realized I had my EQ settings on my device set to a high bass boost to compensate for my old headphones. Once adjusted to flatten out the bass they sounded fantastic.I've never had any other high-end earbuds to compare these to but I feel that these sound great especially for the price. They do a very good job of keeping out surrounding noise. I used them on a recent flight and they did a MUCH better job keeping out the background noise of the jet than my old phones. Use caution when walking/running as they can block the sound of traffic and other hazards you would otherwise hear.Summary: These Panasonic in-ear earbuds are a great value and have exceptional sound... once you learn how to properly use them. Experiment to achieve the correct and comfortable fit.
