Nice to look at, but not as comfortable as an older version of the item.
I have purchased similar Panasonic earphones, but this particular version, although very appealing visually, is not up to par in comparison. There are two flaws:
1) The cord is not long enough. It needs another 10-12 inches to be fully useful.
2) The split to the ears is not balanced: The right ear cord is considerably longer than the left. I don't like it.
