Panasonic RP-TCM125-A ErgoFit Wired Earbuds with Mic

I read some reviews for the best budget headphones and one of the picks was the Panasonic RPTCM125A Headphones. It was the lowest price among all the competitors so naturally I had some reservations but those faded away pretty quickly. Price The price is really on the low side. You don't see many products at this price range without sacrificing either quality or style. For $15 there's really no need to be protective of these. They're cheap enough that if you lose or break a pair; no worries, just buy new ones. I constantly just wrap these up and place them in my pockets without a second thought. (DON'T DO THESE WITH EXPENSIVE PAIRS) Shipping I placed the order on November 1st and had it by the 24th. Incredibly quick shipping with no damage in transit. Packaging Okay packaged, at this price range what can one expect. Comes with the headphones (duh) and two other size sets of earbuds (large and small). The medium size is placed on. Fit The fit is really nice for these earbuds. When I try on Apple products or others in general, I find them falling out constantly but with these they're great. I've exercised and gone to the gym and without fail they've stayed on. Sound Quality When I paid $15 I didn't expect studio quality and I didn't get it. When I first placed them in my ears I didn't have high hopes or expectations but I was pleasantly surprised at the sound. There's no thunderous bass or crystal clear highs but good enough for me. I have quality at headphones I use at home but when I'm on the go, I use these. Like I said bass isn't mind blowing but it's decent. If you're looking for bass heavy headphones these aren't the pair you want. Mids perform pretty well and the highs are actually good for $15. If you're like me and like to listen to the classics in the 70s-90s or current day pop; the Panasonic headphones are a great choice. Noice cancellation There's obviously no active noise cancellation on these but if you put the volume at around half, you can easily drown out all outside noise; great for when pesky strangers are being too loud on the subway. Overall these earbuds aren't for everyone. If you're on a budget and want some decent headphones without breaking the bank, these are a great choice and far better than any Apple headphone. However, if you're an audiophile or looking for bass heavy response, steer clear from the Panasonic headphones and go for Skullcandys'. Well that's just my two cents.

Good sound quality--I use them for phone calls, meetings, on flightd etc. They are ideally sized and soft. And importantly, the earbuds weren't expensive--I don't spend a lot on headphones and think the quality of these aligns with the price. I've had them for months and use them often; I'd buy them again, if needed.

I have been a regular customer for this Panasonic ergonomic fit for the last 10 years. I purchased this at least 8 times, and it fits my need perfectly. I think theres a clear reason why I keep coming back for this product. Its reliable, sound is pretty good, and with the mic I always use this for meetings that need me to speak. If I use it regularly for just listening to music and other stuff, this thing can last pretty long. Sound quality does go down over extended period of time using it, and my last one had left ear blown out which is the reason I purchased another one. For this price you will be happy with this product. Also the price hasn't jacked up since I first purchased which is a good sign. Another thing is it comes with different ear fits, which is great. My ear is pretty small so if you have small ear this might be a product for you. Anyways, I cant believe I havent wrote any reviews in the past 10 years so here is an honest review of someone who purchased this thing consistently in the last decade.

I recently lost my earbuds while traveling and where looking for replacements. I had been using a pair of JVC HAFX66 which I absolutely loved as well as my Apple earbuds which were only used for phone calls. So the search began looking for a set of earbuds that hopefully could solve my previous use of two different sets of earbuds to handle music while working out as well as being able to use it for phone calls. I am cheap when it comes to earbuds since I tend to lose or destroy them on a somewhat regular basis, so I try to spend under $30. I have a similar rule for sunglasses for the same reason. To note, my preference is for bass heavy sound. I listen to just about anything from rap, country, rock, classical, and anything else in between. It doesn't matter, I like bass. I was able to compare directly side-by-side the older M6P, M6, M7P, and the RP-TCM125. **MEE M6P I have had these since 2010, but had never used the MIC on them. I just used them at work and at the gym for music for many years. These were very bass heavy which I liked, but not quite as bright in the mids and highs. For the price, these could not be beat at the time. I am pretty sure I paid under $15 for these. +comfortable +decent sound quality +bass heavy +stayed put in my ears +included carrying case -tips came off easier than I would have liked (I have newer M6 that seem to not have this issue) -cable failure in one pair (many years of use and abuse) -MIC voice quality (far end stated I sounded muffled) -MIC issues on iPhone6 (lots of popping, clicking...remember this is a 6 year old set) **JVC HAFX66 I had owned the JVC HAFX66 since around 2011 and had gone through 2-3 pairs due to either losing them or getting them run through the washer/dryer accidentally. It appears they are no longer available as well as I would like something with a MIC on it. +very comfortable (used them for background music on a 12hr flight) +sound quality was more balanced the the M6P (strong bass, but mids/highs were smoother) -no MIC **JVC HAETR40 Extreme Sports Pivot Motion Fit These were my first replacements to try since I could pick them up at a local store. In the end, I ended up returning them mostly due to the lack of bass. If these had been cheaper, I probably would have kept them as backup since they were quite functional and comfortable. +fit good +very clear sound quality +MIC worked, no complaints from the far end about my voice quality +short cord +included cord extension -short cord (was almost too short, but then too long with the extension) -lack of bass....serious lack of bass The lack of bass is what ultimately doomed these for me. The bass was lacking so much, it was like they weren't seated properly within my ear...yet they were. I really wanted to like these. **Panasonic RP-TCM125 These were ordered based upon reviews I found for best bang for your buck. These were just to be music earbuds since they don't have a MIC. I have not used these yet while exercising so unknown how well they will stay put. For sure, these are the most balanced sounding out of all of the earbuds I have so far. These overall seem to me to have the best all around sound. +comfortable fit +sound quality is wonderful (voices are warmer, bass is still strong) -cable seems to be pretty cheap, weak (reminds me of the cheapo dollar store ones) **MEE M7P I was still looking for a proper earbud with MIC that can do it all. The price was right and my history with MEE was good so why not. +fit good +good sound quality (bass not as strong as M6) +stay in place while running +comes with carrying case +MIC worked, no complaints from far end about my voice quality (while sitting still) -MIC was popping or dropping out when I was up and moving around (I have a support ticket open on this) **MEE M6 I went ahead and also purchased a set of M6 since I pretty knew I would like these. +fit good +stay in place no matter the activity +sound quality decent (strong bass, but mids and highs aren't as powerful) +comes with carrying case -no MIC So all of this....which pair do I use the most? The M7P will end up in my laptop bag for sure for travel purposes...but more than likely I will end up using the M6 the most since I know it stays put while running.

I recently picked up the Panasonic ErgoFit Wired Earbuds, and they’ve quickly become my go-to for daily use. These in-ear headphones offer a great combination of comfort, sound quality, and functionality, making them a solid choice for anyone in need of reliable earbuds. Comfortable Fit: The ErgoFit design lives up to its name. These earbuds are incredibly comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. They come with three different sizes of ear tips, so it’s easy to find the perfect fit. The snug fit also helps with noise isolation, keeping unwanted background noise to a minimum. Good Sound Quality: For the price, the sound quality is impressive. The audio is clear and balanced, with decent bass and crisp highs. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or making calls, the sound is consistent and enjoyable. Built-in Microphone and Call Controller: The built-in microphone and call controller are very convenient, especially when I’m on the go. The microphone picks up my voice clearly during calls, and the call controller allows me to answer/end calls and play/pause music without needing to reach for my phone. Durable and Tangle-Free: The build quality of these earbuds is solid. The cord is durable and resists tangling, which is a big plus for me since I tend to toss them in my bag. They’ve held up well so far, even with daily use. Affordable Price: One of the best things about these earbuds is their affordability. They deliver great value for the price, offering comfort, sound quality, and functionality without breaking the bank. Overall Experience: Overall, the Panasonic ErgoFit Wired Earbuds are an excellent choice for anyone looking for comfortable, reliable, and affordable in-ear headphones. They’re perfect for everyday use, whether you’re commuting, working out, or just relaxing at home. I highly recommend these earbuds to anyone in need of a budget-friendly, high-quality option.

Used them daily for remote working and regularly for gaming. They were OK average normal audio quality. Did the job for 6 month until it broke. They never leaved the desk, never entered a pocket or any other tight space. So, anyone moving them around for travel or on the go use, might broke them earlier. Cheap enough to be replaced, anyway i’m trying from a different manufacturer next time.

If you don't want to read my long review skip to the last paragraph and it should tell you all you really need to know! Those really looking for a good pair of earbuds and "researching" reviews this is for you! Seriously I absolutely LOVE these. I have never used in ear earbuds but honestly they are extremely comfortable, way more comfortable than regular earbuds any day of the week or hot & sweaty over the ear headphones. They reach a great volume and the sound is incredibly crisp with no static or needing to twist it just right in your headphone-jack to get some resemblance of clarity lol if you know, you know!!! The microphone on them is good enough to use for phone calls, I have had zero complaints or even had anyone notice if I'm using them opposed to regular hand held mode. They are not rated as noise cancelling however I have found that at just about half volume they do a decent job drowning out any background noises while listening to my podcast and music. They have a sleek aesthetic without compromise of any ergonomics. The colored pairs are accurately depicted and very beautiful tones.... Most importantly they are BUILT TO LAST!!!! That's right folks the barely more than$10 earbuds are top notch quality, reliability, and just downright built to last. I'm rough on earbuds and my 7, 11 & 15 year old sons are even more rough if it's even possible. However here we are after over 2 months of use and the 4 of us sharing and using 2 pairs of these for homeschool online tutoring, music, tik tok, you tube, Xbox, phone calls, video chats, Nintendo switch, Netflix, audible, podcasts ECT and of course dropping 1927749372347927 times, unplugging and plugging in even more times, and my personal favorite dropping the ear pieces in water, coffee and tea numerous times as well as the time one pair took a ride through my washer and dryer in my son's jeans and worked the next day!!!!! They still work as well as they did the day we opened them! So yes I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone that will listen!

I know a thing or two about audio equipment, and I've now owned a quite extensive list of earbuds and headphones. While these are unlikely to win any "best ___" award in my book, I would in no way call them bad. For around $15, they are a fairly good value. Feel/Quality Right out of the box, they feel very light, flimsy, thin, almost like the cord could (and almost definitely will with prolonged use) go out at any time. But you'll be hard pressed to find anything much better in this price range. Comfort They feel pretty decent actually. They sit pretty low profile in your ears, which is good, as the could quite comfortably be used while sleeping, even with your head sideways on a pillow. The ear cushions seem on the small side, as usually I have to go down a size to find what fits, however I found myself using the large cushions for these. No problem with that though, extra cushions are easy to come by. They do not cause much irritation while sitting in your ears, they do indeed fit ergonomically in your ears. Good marks here. Sound Quality Arguably the most important department, and unfortunately where these seem to fall down most. Perhaps I have gotten way too accustomed to my over ear, $200-range headphones of which I've owned several pairs before, and that makes me feel that these have poor sound quality. The bass is actually quite excellent for the price, well balanced and not overly boomy or muddy. The mids are quite clear as well, vocals are clear and do not even seem to distort much when presented with complex dissonance and high volumes, an extremely common problem with lower priced audio exquipment. The highs seem quite weak, even fragile. Definitley the worst area of these earbuds.You'll notice discomfort at how shrill cymbal crashes will sound at higher volumes. It greatly reduces the pleasurability of listening, distracting from the music itself. Sadly it really is that bad. While I do think some of this can be overcome with an EQ adjustment, you shouldn't have to do that for earbuds to sound tolerable. I was dissapointed in this category. However, if you listen to bass and mid heavy music, you will notice little to no flaws in the sound signature at all, which is very impressive. Tldr; great value earbuds. EQ adjustment necessary to compensate for lack of capacity for high frequency clarity. Other than that, very good sound. Very nice comfort. Satisfactory build quality. Very cheap. Buy these earbuds if you need a travel pair, something to sleep with, or are on a budget. Better sound quality can definitely be found around this price mark, but again, by no means would I call them "bad" at what they do. Can't really go wrong with getting them. Ps. If you are deciding between these and a comparable pair of Skullcandys, do youself and everyone else a favor and get these. Unless you're a dubstep loving bass junkie and really don't care how real music sounds, these are by far a superior option.

Guter Sound und sehr bequem!

Value for Money !

Great fit into ears, does not fall out. Lightweight and attractive, would buy again.

I wanted a comfortable headset for zoom/skype calls as well as well as listening to music. I spent ages looking around and settled on these, almost in spite of their price. They didn't disappoint. People comment on the good mike sound when I'm on a call, and when Iisten to recordings of zoom calls I've been on, the sound quality is more pleasing that of some people wearing obviously expensive headsets with a mike near the mouth. It's a mellow but clear sound, not precise but harsh like many. The sound on the earbuds is also very pleasant. It doesn't seem prone to clothes rustling sounds transmitting to the mike, like many of this sort, or cable rustling sounds coming thru to the earbuds, although of course some of that happens. The connector feels sturdy, and hopefully less prone to disintegration that the straight connectors. And the hype is true, the earbuds themselves fit very neatly and comfortably. I've only had them a few weeks, so longevity is unknown. I dont usually review items, but felt that this deserves a shout-out, and I'd happily pay double the price.

One of of the best... beautiful bass, beautiful featings....best quality in this price 😍😍😍😍😍
