Damage Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 There are some strange looking ones, but this one in my personal collection :Behold, the Panasoni RP-HS9.Get the placement right, they sound little bit better than stocks, but by not much. For looks, nothing tops this in a good or a bad way... Quickie impression: Bright Mid-trebs to highs, Bass is severly lacking, Vocals are overly predominant, maybe with a hint of nasalness. Fairly nice soundstage for what's its worth. Slightly better than your stocks, I think it set me back about $20 at the time.Obligatory Disclaimer:---Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've said it before, I'll say it again. You know, with the phones sitting there like they are, they almost look like the guy from Spy vs. Spy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 haha, what a unique way to look at 'em, Ben. Aren't the official "oddest" the Koss cheese ones?And semi-on topic, Panasonic and headphones; are their high end 'phones worthwhile?

Damage Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) haha, what a unique way to look at 'em, Ben. Aren't the official "oddest" the Koss cheese ones?And semi-on topic, Panasonic and headphones; are their high end 'phones worthwhile?←Not sure about their high end ones, but the Technics RP-DJ1200 was one of the best impulse buys at $40 (MSRP $120, discontinued). Despite them being DJ phones, they are surprisingly fun (slightly bright, especially with cymbals) to listen to though there is very little to speak of in terms of soundstage (left, center, right, very little in terms of up or down). Comfortable isn't the word I'd use though, they remind me of a vice on my ears. Since they are closed 40mm cans, I think those who has trouble using PX200s will probably not like these in the least.I did forget about those KOSS cheesehead cans, but their cables aren't WHITE! These have white cables, and that was about 3 years ago! So, I guess I was ahead of the curve! Ha!I wonder how they'd sound with the Pod?How about the cutest? Any fangrrls around to drop some opinions? Edited January 4, 2005 by Damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamagatacamille Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 hey, it's the clip-ons again!! hehe. i think these (or any set of clip-ons) work great for exercising; i'm sure it has decent sound and as you mentioned, damage, it's better than your typical stock 'phones.
