Dreadful headphones! Though comfortable to wear the sound lacks bass & resonance. My previous pair, also made by Technics, cost about £10 & lasted over twenty years; don't know where they have gone wrong with making this model.

I killed an old pair of cheap technics headphones by rough treatment, so I thought I would do a little research and get something halfway decent. Sennheiser seemed to be the brand many were raving about at the time. I spent £60 on a pair of HD 465. I thought at first I hadn't plugged them in fully the sound quality was so poor. Maybe my PC sound card? X-fi - No. So I out them in a corner and bought the first paid of technics at half the price. Happy. I don't like my headphone volume loud, thats what my hi-fi is for. I like my headphones to have clarity, be distortion free and comfortable to wear all day. For the money there was nothing better when these came out, I've had these about 4 years now and would buy another pair if they died. I can imagine a more expensive set giving a better experience a little more mid range and a tad, just a tad more bass, but any decent equaliser will assist there. I'm writing this review now as I am building a machine for a relative and was considering giving them the sennheisers, after testing side by side from my hi-fi with metalica to handel I can't in concience give the woeful sennheisers away, but I won't give up my technics.

These F350's are excellent headphones. they deliver rich, mid-range frequencies beautifully, the high-ends aren't quite as refined as one would hope for, and the bass range lacks a bit of emphasis too.
in all, for £40 headphones, i think they're really really good, but there's certainly much better out there (ie, Sony's XB-300's or XB-500's)

think i shall stick to my £120 Sony XB-700's though. there's nothing out there that'll match 'em. now £100 from the Sony Centre, you're guaranteed superiour sound quality and clarity you will not get anywhere. Sony XB-700's ALL THE WAY!!! 3-28000hZ, massive 50mm 3000mW drive units (which you can actually SEE and feel bouncing on the side of your head when turned up!!!) and massive squishy ear pads that give ULTIMATE comfort. :)

Being a sound engineer, and been through the best and worst of headphones. The Panasonic RP-350 I find are great value for money, great sound,really comfortable, and a long lead so you dont have to sit on top of your HiFi or TV. Granted they,re not going to last long if you're pretty rough with them, but im from that age where pennies were worth money. Great style and sit so comfortable after long periods of time. You can pick these up from £14.29 including delivery if you shop around, its the best £14.29 Ive spent for a while. In fact Ive got 5 pair, and debating whether to buy another pair. Ive got headphones that were a lot more expensive with a lot more dissapointment. True there are better headphones out there, but not at this price. If you look after your prized possesions, these are for you.

I have to say that these are terrible headphones. Beyond poor. They are tinny, sibilant, thrashy, not very comfortable and built extremely cheaply, even for the cheapish price tag.

To my ears, the sound best compares with the cheap, nasty, generic earphones that come bundled with most mobile phoes or MP3 players these days.

For a similar price, Superlux HD668B knock the stuffing out of them, and are upgradable with better earpads from the AKG range.

Avoid!

Great sound, great price, just what you want to sit back at home on the sofa or at the PC chilling to your most love tunes, base and treble are most generous, The colour and design is what attracted me to them as they have certain retro touch that i found to be the image that suited me, The only thing i did not like was that fact that i did not get a pair of Technics 350 any sooner, as i got them 2nd hand i did not know what they would sound like so it was a gamble that paid off, some folk may say bad things about them as they are expecting a £30 to £40 set of headphones to perform the same as a £150 top DJ's head phones at high volumes, these are a gentlemen's set of headphones for the person who just loves music at a comfortable level, 5***** bit of kit,

i think Technics RP-F 350 are good, nice, comfortable, loud, good sound, long lead.

When I first got these headphones I was expecting good Quality as my last £20 Technics Headphones was very good. When I tried them on I was impressed with the comfort these headphones provide but when it came to listening to music I was shocked because there was too much treble, little mid and absolutely no bass at all. My apple earphones produce better clarity and a more balenced sound than these, save your money and read What HIFI mag on recommended headphones

Sounds like a mess, too loud, great bass, but no details. Bad value for money

sound quality size comfortable absolutely fantastic utter best buy

These are very poor headphones, the high end is WAY to loud and lacks clarity.

I'm taking mine back to the shop asap
