Are these slim? I'm looking for a pair of slim clip phones for use when I sleep. I've been buying the Panasonic RP-HS46-K SLIMZ which are of course slim and comfortable to wear while sleeping and have pretty good sound but unfortunately don't tend to last long. The slimz are .400 inches thick and I probably won't find much else that thin, but would like to find something similar that might last longer. Are these slim?

Yes it is a bummer. You'd think with a well know brand name that has been around quite a while, their build quality would be better. I have yet to try a pair out but the Audio-Technica ATH-EQ300M look very promising. You'll have to Google them as it appears Amazon doesn't carry them. I do know that Audio-Technica is a well respected brand amongst audiophiles and they are available in different colors.

Isn't that a bummer about the panasonic brand? I, too use this style when I am going to sleep because I wear ear plugs. I loved how slim the design of the panasonics is but the cord got very stiff after being exposed to air. Also, they didn't last very long. I like all the great reviews for the Sony brand but would like to know the thickness. Have you found any other brands that are slim and seem durable?

Thankfully I barely remember the headphones. I don't think they were rechargeable. I may be wrong. I wouldn't buy them in any case they were useless and did not work at all. I sent them back. If you need wireless phones buy expensive ones that the seller might feel even slightly responsible for. I decided I didn't need any after all and saved my money. Most bits of consumer tat are five minute wonders in any case. Save up for a decent house instead they seem to be the only things that retain their use and value.

I'm not sure of why you would want to sleep with these on?.... but I can say they are great for the gym if you running on the treadmill or any other high pace exericise or movement. before I started using these, I was using the (white in color) ones that come with the phone. I notice two, things I didn't like.... first, when the cord moves when you are exericising, I can hear the movement..... second, the bud ear piece was not sound proof and you can hear things around you (people talking, exerice machines, etc.) and the bud piece hurts my ear... so I got the JVC Sport Clip and they are much better... !!! jmo.....

This was one thing I wanted to know as well, thinking of getting a wireless and do 1 ear when I go biking. I thought of the idea of a paper clip to clip the line to the neck of the shirt. Maybe they added a clip feature in next model. Still thinking hard if I should get this.

I suffer as you do. I've had the S305 for years now and have already returned a different brand/model because they were too small. Thankfully, I still get great battery life and quality from these. I never had pairing issues in the past, but since upgrading to a Note 4, I tend to lose sync when answering calls and have to repair. Wish they'd just update the electronics on these with Bluetooth 4.0 as it's so hard to order headphones and have to return them because of poor fit.

I have a large head and they are very tight on me. But they should be good for someone with a small head. Also they aren't as durable as you might expect. However, they do sound very nice and balanced. If you want some smaller headphones, I'd check out the Sennheiser 219, 229, and the 239. They are smaller yet still sound fantastic. I'd also recommend the Panasonic rp-htx7. The are nice, light, low profile, and have a fun sound signature.

That's why I stopped using them and got a refund. They go out when your phone goes out of service. This happened the first week and I purchased the JLab Bluetooth headphones.

I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums. I don't consider myself to have large ears at all. I thought the Sennheisers pinched my ears; I couldn't ever quite get comfortable in them. I thought the PSB's weighed a metric ton and had a headache after an hour of wearing them, but they definitely have larger ear cups; I had no issues there. I thought they both sounded great; Sennheiser has more pronounced bass but PSB has a better balanced sound. But neither of those obstacles were enough for me to keep either pair; I instead have the Bose AE2i's. There is a downgrade in sound quality but not a ton - they still sound great, they are light weight, and fit comfortably around the ears. I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums.

I wear it all day long, since i wake up until i go to sleep. They're turned on all this time. I make a few calls every day..I listen to music when i for to train, or run..I also watch movies at night using it, to not disturb the others sleeping at home. With that kind of using, it goes from "battery full" in the morning, to "battery high" in the evening...I put it on charge every night, and so it lasts something like 20 minutes to get full again (blue lightning).I have not gone to a complete empty battery for now.I'm just very satisfy about this headphones, in everything.

Hi Nancy, I have had my first pair for almost a year, and second pair for about 4 mo. and no trouble so far. These are very good wireless phones.

If you don't mind regular headphones then I recommend the Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS Port.Here's a link: Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS PortNot only do they last much much longer but they're also cheaper and they have good bass. My first pair lasted about 8 months. I got my second pair in July last year and they're still working. These are the best headphones I ever had.

Thank you for the info. A few days ago, I got the 'Eneloops' anyway. Maybe my stock Panasonic batteries had run their useful life course, because the Eneloops work very well and last much longer than the Panasonics. Plus the 7 hour audio and text recharge message does pop up when they run low (someone had suggested that the phone just 'dies', with no message). In any case, I can always use the Eneloops until I am not satisfied with their performance. They only cost me like ten bucks for 4.

Scott,Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

I have a set of blue ones. The difference is the blue has no microphone, the red does. Don't know about the all-black ones. When I receive a phone call using the blue ones, I can hear the caller in my left ear only, and need to hold the phone close to my face for the caller to hear me. The normal phone position in a case on my hip does not work for phone calls, but is fine for music. I purchased this at a T-Mobile store. The red ones were not available at the time, almost two years ago.

Hi Max, with regards to the comparison, personally I feel there is no comparison. The PSB is far superior in sound quality. Howvere the noise cancellation in the Bose is impressive. With regards to whether people can hear you in the library, I would say like any head phone when played at a very high volume people near you can hear you especially in a quiet surrounding like the library. But if played at a reasonable volume your're pretty safe. Ask a friend to give feedback or ask a friend to put the headphones on and you listen. That's the best gauge. Battery life based on 4 hr usage a day last more than 2 months. Reviewers say it last 55 hrs on a day and night usage. Hope this helps.

I ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!
