The RP-TCM325 is the USB-C version of Panasonic's long-running ErgoFit earbuds, and Panasonic's US store listed it at $24.99. The spec table gives 10mm drivers, 32 ohms impedance, 106 dB/mW sensitivity and a 20 Hz to 20k Hz response with cord, while the description cites a wider 10Hz to 24kHz range, so read the frequency numbers with care. Three sizes of soft tips seal the ear, an integrated microphone and call remote handle calls, and the 3.6 ft cord gives more slack than most phone earbuds, useful when the phone or laptop sits on a desk. Panasonic notes the earbuds work with any device that supports a standard USB-C audio connection. At $24.99 it costs more than the Apple, Belkin and Skullcandy Jib picks without a sweat rating or a longer warranty, which is why it sits mid-table.
