Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy rich and powerful sound when connected to a home stereo or portable audio device with this pair of Panasonic stereo headphones, which fit conveniently behind the neck for maximum comfort. The phones employ neodymium rare-earth magnets to produce exploding bass and crisp, clear treble. The bass response is further amplified by the dual XBS ports, which please listeners who like their low frequencies full and distortion-free. And as with all Panasonic headphones, this pair sits snugly over the ears thanks to the soft ear pads, letting listeners wear them for hours without discomfort. Additional features include an in-cord volume control, which lets users adjust the volume without fiddling with the stereo; gold contacts for corrosion resistance; and a 3.9-foot cord. The RP-HG17 headphones carry a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

 Agree with previous reviewer regarding poor quality. November 30, 2008
I too have gone through two of these in the past 3 years for the exact same reason another reviewer has: the sound stops coming through one side. And while it was working I had to adjust its placement because of the pain it would cost my ears.
Somewhat uncomfortable November 29, 2008
Panasonic RP-HG17 Portable Headphones: Sound is ok, but very uncomfortable on my ears. Might be fine for others, but not mine.
 Pretty good headphones August 25, 2008
I purchased these to wear at work and listen to music. I have no complaints about the sound quality and I like the fact that they have inline volume controls.
My main complaint with these is that it is difficult to find a spot that they are comfortable to wear. if worn low down so that the bar is actually touching the ear it starts to feel like it is cutting into the ear. if I move it up a little bit it sits more comfortably but feels a little tight for my head (not painfully so) and at the same time it feels like it wants to slide off my head. They are still better then nothing and I will keep them until I find some better ones but then they will be the emergency pair.
good value June 5, 2008
Works well for work, able to control volume easily when people come up to talk to me.
Good value foe listening to streaming music.
 Comfortable, but the quality stinks May 17, 2007
I've gone through two pairs of these headphones in about a year. The 2nd pair lasted only 2 months! I will not be buying a third pair. They are very comfortable, but after some use the sound starts cutting out in one channel or the other. You have to jiggle things around to fix it. I think the external volume knob is a mistake because it ends up being an additional moving part that is prone to problems. Eventually, the sound will fail completely, apparently from loose wiring. Buyer beware!
