Hello,

I'm a noob in the market for a set of earphones to use with an iriver h140.

I was considering the Sharp inearphones but have recently seen the Panasonic RP-HJE50 for sale at www.minidisc.com.au

I have no idea whether these are good or not and cannot find any reviews or comments.

Can you please have a look at the specs and let me know if at least in theory they look like decent phones

I never used it but RP-HJE50 is fairly popular in Japan. According to japanese headphone BBS, they say:
-better than Sony EX71, comparable to Sharp HP-MD33.
-lots of bass, sibilant highs, recessed mids, but balance improves after burn-in.
-nothing like E2 or E3 but pretty good phone for the price.

I cannot guarantee but it could be worth considering.
