FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: Do these headphones enclose the ears or press against them?
A: These headphones do not completely enclose the ears, but the plush-padded earpads softly surround the entire ear to minimize ambient noise and distractions.
Q: Will the headphone jack fit through the headphone jack on my iPhone 5s life proof case?
A: Yes, it fits fine through an Otterbox Defender (iPhone 5S).
Q: Can I use 2-inch-diameter replacement foam earpads with these Panasonic headphones?
A: These headphones have oval-shaped earpads with dimensions of approximately 2.25 x 1.75 inches, so it is unlikely that circular foam earpads of 2 inches in diameter will fit. You may want to check with Panasonic for compatible replacement earpads.
Q: Are these headphones suitable for outdoor activities such as brisk walking or running with an iPod?
A: While they may work for a brisk walk, they may not be stable enough for running.
Q: Can these headphones help with hearing loss when watching videos on a laptop?
A: These headphones can provide clear and high-quality sound, but they may not necessarily improve hearing loss. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for hearing-related concerns.
Q: Is there an on/off button included with the in-cord volume control?
A: No, there is no on/off button included.
Q: Are these headphones comfortable to wear for extended periods?
A: The plush-padded earpads and smooth, quick-adjust headband provide comfort during extended listening sessions. However, individuals with larger head sizes or ears measuring over 1 3/4 inches may find them uncomfortable.
Q: What material are the earpad covers made of?
A: The earpad covers are made of a comfortable parachute cloth material.
Q: Can these headphones be used with an iPad?
A: Yes, these headphones can be used with any device that has a standard L-shape headphone jack.
