Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic RP-HT970 Vibration Series Home Theater Headphones
Customer Review: good idea but has some design issues
Summary: 3 Stars
These headphones sound great and the VMSS is pretty cool but its design could be better. First of all, the VMSS control and battery pack is poorly placed. Even though it has a clip to allow you to clip to your clothing I found that the cord between the headphone and battery pack is kinda too short to allow you to clip to a good spot so most of the time I just leave it hanging, which results in another problem. With the battery inserted, the battery pack is kinda heavy so dangling the control gets very annoying because if you move around the battery pack tend to swing back and forth etc. and can get banged around. I wished they had built in the battery pack into the headphone itself or have it located next to the plug. I've already managed to put a crack in the battery cover because it came off one time, due to me moving around and the battery pack banged against something, and I stepped on it because I didn't notice it came off. Also, the cord is very long, which can be good but if you make a product with a cord that long you should built in some sort of cord management feature. I almost broke the headphones because there was a pile of cord next to my chair and somehow it got tangled with the chair and when I moved my head I almost broke off the cord where it enters the headphone.So, in conclusion, it sounds pretty good and if you can tolerate its design inadequacies then its a good buy but for me if I had to do it again I probably would have bought something else.
