The Panasonic RP-HJE900 are a pair of premium high-fidelity earbud headphones built out of extremely durable, scratch-proof, ultra-tough, and low-resonance Zirconia. The second of two Panasonic RP-HJE headphones, the Panasonic RP-HJE900 is a giant leap from the in-ear RP-HJE700 due to its Zirconia construction. In addition, the RP-HJE900 boasts a powerful Neodymium magnet and 12.5mm drivers with a 6Hz-26kHz frequency response, a 100dB sensitivity, and a 26 (versus 16) ohms impedance. The RP-HJE900 also boasts detachable earbuds and a tangle-free cord. The Panasonic RP-HJE900 retails for a whopping $229.99 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.

MSRP $249.99

Pros
- Above average sound quality, but can be muddy in comparison with other headphones of similar price range.
- Very good sound isolation, nearly everything from the outside world is muted with these headphones in your ears.
- Hard carrying case is sleek and very stylish. In addition, it is very durable and has good build quality. Serves its purpose well, but can be a pain to carry around due to its size.
Cons
- Annoying shape and size, can be a pain to put in and out.
- Wire, although relatively decent in strength, is made of odd material that has a strong chemical odor, and contorts to annoying forms very easily.
- Bound for breakage and potential defective soldering in the left earbud. As with what happened with my pair, and with the pairs of others on the web, the left earbud becomes detached completely, and parts of the insides (including the soldering) are ripped out. Left earbud, by itself, is not sold as a replacement; this type of damage is extremely easy to encounter, not necessarily due to rough handling or misuse.
