Technics RP-F 350

The Technics RP-F 350 headphones are a basic but reliable option for those who are looking for comfortable, low-cost over-ear headphones. The headphones offer decent sound quality for casual listening and everyday use, though they may not compare to more premium brands or models in terms of sound fidelity.

This particular headphone features a circum-aural design, meaning they fully enclose the ear, which enhances comfort during extended listening sessions. However, they are not particularly robust, and may not withstand long-term rough usages. The RP-F350 is a solid option for users on a tight budget, making them affordable for most users. For casual listeners, particularly those who want something affordable for TV or HiFi use, the RP-F350s represent good value. In summary, the Technics RP-F350 provides a reasonable balance between cost and performance. They are not intended to compete with higher-priced headphones in terms of sound quality but offer a satisfactory listening experience for their price range.

As a sound engineer with experience spanning various headphone models, I must say that the Panasonic RP-350 stands out as an excellent value for money option. These headphones offer superb sound quality, exceptional comfort, and a lengthy cable that allows for flexible positioning without tethering you to your HiFi or TV. While they may not withstand rough handling for an extended period, their affordability and comfort make them a standout choice. Available for as little as £14.29 including delivery if you shop around, these headphones represent incredible value. I personally own five pairs and am even considering purchasing another. While there may be superior options on the market, none can match the RP-350's quality at this price point. If you value your possessions and appreciate great sound without breaking the bank, these headphones are an excellent choice. Gustavo Woltmann

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.

If you want some comfortable and good sounding headphones, then these are ideal. They can be worn for hours, and while they aren't as good as some expensive £100 phones, they are perfectly ok, with a balanced sound.

I've had phones in the past, Sony and Sennheiser, which were nowhere near as good to wear, although they sounded a bit better, but I then didn't use them that much. These phones are circum-aural, and actually go around the ears, not just sit on top, and are well padded, with a long cable.

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.
