MONITORING FUNCTIONS SITED BY PANASONIC ARE PURE VAPOR.
It’s no wonder Panasonic does not define what it means by “Single-side Monitoring” or “Free-Style Monitoring”. I bought these headphones thinking that the multiple swivels would allow me to swing one ear phone out of the way so I could WEAR the headphones and hear what was going on in the room while I listened to the TV through my receiver.
But THE HEADPHONE SWIVELS JUST DON’T CUT IT. The horizontal swivel allows an earphone to swing up and in but you can’t wear the headphone that way. The horizontal swivels do NOT permit any outward swivel at all. So you have to grab the earphones and stretch them apart, fighting against the springy headband, to put the headphones on your head. The vertical swivels allow an earphone to SWIVEL A MAXIMUM OF 90 DEGREES so it it useless.
The Panasonic website states that these headphones have “Free-Style Monitoring”. The packaging mentions only “Single-Side Monitoring” and shows someone holding one earphone against one ear while the rest of the headphone flops in the breeze. BIG DEAL. All of my headphones will do that.
For all of the swivels and alleged monitoring abilities, THESE HEADPHONES ARE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE HEADPHONES I have tried, and that includes full size sound insulating and sound passing Koss’, and lighter portable Koss, Panasonic and Sony.
The sound quality is mediocre. Stereo separation is good; bass is fair but highs are a little muffled compared to other good inexpensive headphones, such as Koss UR-29.
And all the swivels and alleged monitoring does absolutely nothing for the comfort or usability of these headphones
