Marshall Mode vs Panasonic RP-TCM125 ErgoFit

I got the Marshall. Charge 5 being mono sounds too flat compared to Marshall. With Marshall I can hear the sounds that are missing with charge 5.

Being so cheap, I also don't have to fret too much if the Janitor decides to steal this pair also. JVC "Flats": These are on ear headphones, so probably not fair to compare to ear buds. Still they were part of my purchase, so I am including for contrast. At only 12 dollars, I was very surprised how crisp and clean these sounded

Sound: - "S" sounds, cymbals, and high drum beats have an annoying hiss, and bass is a little fuzzy and under-powered (this is not a product for bass lovers.) I am, however, hearing details in my music that I had no idea were there before - for $30, I can't complain. Fit: - There are four sets of tips instead of the usual three, which is nice, and they're designed for comfort, not appearance, which is nice too. If you have really small ears the odd asymmetrical drum shape might get uncomfortable after a while, but they happen to fit perfectly in my slightly smaller than average ears

In that sense, they're more in line with the $7 JVC Gumy Plus I also reviewed. That budget earphone also wasn't a clean sounding as the RP-HJE120s. Like other Panasonic ErgoFit headphones, this model offers a comfortable fit. Sarah Tew/CNET On the plus side, I made a few calls with the RP-TCM125s and while call quality wasn't great, it was decent enough -- about on par with what you get from Apple's EarPods

I ended up returning these, however, due to two major issues. The first is entirely subject but worth mentioning: none of the included ear pieces worked for me. They were all either too large (resulting in a painful fit) or too small (resulting in no sound isolation). The second, and perhaps slightly more objective reason, was material quality

The Panasonic RP-HJE120-K ErgoFit are very basic in-ear headphones with no additional features. They have a decent sound and barely leak, even at high volumes. However, they have a typical in-ear fit, which may be uncomfortable for some. They're not very stable and cannot block the ambient noise of a moderately busy office
