Digital camera reviews of Panasonic RPHT710 Basic Headphones

Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased these headphones in hopes of finding an adequate replacement for my Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 system during the midnight hours...I was off target with these headphones. The bass is weak, they distort at fairly low volumes in my opinion, and they produce a very inaccurate reproduction of every note I pushed through them.Save your money and buy a higher-end pair of headphones.

Summary: 5 Stars
These are very comfortable to wear for long periods, unlike the Koss headphones that I just replaced. One thing that I like about them is that the cord is not coiled, so it's not constantly catching on things. The sound compares very favorably to my only other pair of headphones (high quality Sony ear-buds), but compared to computer speakers with a sub-woofer, I don't hear the full impact of the bass from either pair of headphones. I think that's just an effect of the sub-woofer, though. The sound is very well balanced. Overall I'm very pleased with the comfort and sound of these headphones.Digital camera Review: Studio Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let Panasonic fool you with the "Basic" misnomer. These headphones are definitely one of the best studio pairs you can find. I have only used them for two weeks now, so I can't give you a good idea of their durability. Let me break this product down for you...Sound-
The most important aspect of a pair of headphones is sound. For the price range, the 710's probably deliver the best. The frequency response is advertised as 5hz-27khz, however the package said it was 8hz instead. But, that's not much to gripe about. The clarity at high frequencies is unbelievable. After using them for two weeks, the bass has increased in power. But, it will not thump the bass unless the bass is meant to be thumped. So, if you want all of your bass to be thumped, you'd have to get an amplifier. You can't just turn the volume up on these things cause the bass will blow your eardrums out. Believe me, I had a serious headache after listening to some hardcore at a little higher volume than usual. One more thing, you won't get any unwanted distortion with the 710's.
Comfort-
The second most important aspect is comfort; you can't enjoy the sound if your head is getting squeezed to death. I found them to be quite comfortable. They need some breaking in at first, but eventually you should be able to forget they are on your head. I use them while mixing on my PC for 3-4 hour periods and feel fine.
Design-
Ok, I guess I've got to say a few things about the design. These can be folded up somewhat. Not enough to get excited about. However, they are not the sturdiest things in the world, so I wouldn't be stuffing them into a bag or other luggage anyway. If you have to take them somewhere, make sure they are well protected. They have little plastic swivels just above the drivers that adjust to your head for added comfort. These look fairly fragile and I can't help asking, "Why in the world didn't they use metal?" A note to DJs, they can be positioned for single side monitoring.
Looks-
I don't care about looks as long as they get the job done. However, there are those of you who just have to look cool. If you are thinking about getting these things for portable use, forget it. They are way too big. If you are going to use them as a DJ or in the studio, you couldn't do much better.
Efficiency-
In this price range, they have to be the most efficient of all. Don't wait; buy 'em!
