There's a lid for every pot and a pair of headphones for every ear. In the test, the very good-sounding Focal Listen, the sporty Bose Soundsport Wireless and the Plantronics Back-Beat Pro 2 noise-cancelling headphones stood out. You should definitely keep your hands off the cheap ones - you should not do bad sound to your ears.

It almost doesn't get any cheaper: the inexpensive Panasonic RP-HJ125 surprised us in the test: it sounded pleasant and only slightly less refined than the competition, but better than many of the accessory earpieces. Panasonic offers the 125 in many bright colours, but otherwise the 10-gram plastic part doesn't look much. A headset function is missing, as are any accessories.

The Panasonic RP-HJ125 surprised in the test, it sounded pleasant and only slightly less finely drawn than the competition. Panasonic offers the 125 in many bright colours, but otherwise the 10-gram plastic part doesn't look much. A headset function is missing, as are any accessories. But on the other hand, the Panasonic costs just 10 euros and sounds better than a set of earplugs.

For a price well under 10 euros, the In Ear is anything but bad. In terms of sound, the model can convince with a quite good sound including a powerful bass. The headphones also fit surprisingly well and comfortably.
