Panasonic RP-HC 500 noise reducing headphones

Advantages: shuts out background noise, allows lowr volume, decent sound, removable cord
Disadvantages: slightly chunky, lack of lower bass

...twice as much? The Panasonic RP-HC500's come complete with a hard case and a set of adaptors to suit different environments such as aircraft which have a different connector to most MP3 players . Surprisingly, no AAA battery is supplied so you need to pick up a pack of those before you can start using them properly. Looks wise they appear a little bulky compared to the slimmer Bose ones although the ear padding is nice and soft and overall construction ...
...and for the money, the Panasonic RP-HC500's do an excellent job of noise reduction with a better sound quality than most other headphones in that price bracket. Yes, they could have a little more detail, yes, they lack bass and treble extension but the overall sound still manages to please. Moreover, the reduction in volume that is needed to listen when traveling is remarkable and can only be good for your ears. The price is very fair for the performance ...

Review of Panasonic RP-HC 500

Slim Stylish Sony

Advantages: Slim and styish design
Disadvantages: Blocks possible important incoming sound

Hi there, I have decided to write a review about Sony’s earphone MDR-EX76LP The Manufacturer In 1946, two Japanese gentlemen, Akio Morita and Masaru had a business that was called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which is interpreted as Tokyo Telecommunication Engineering Company. Morita and Ibuka earned a living by repairing radios and manufacturing voltmeters. They later became the founders of Sony, which is a household brand. Did you know the word sonus, ...
...that was used in America, which mean bright youngster, is what was put together to create the name Sony. The Design Sony’s MDR-EX76LP is an in-ear design; the earphone goes in the ear rather than covering the ears, which are called headphones but most people tend to mix the names. The earphones is pushed a few millimetres into the ear canal, this helps prevents external noise coming in whilst listen to the sound coming from the earphones. The reason ...

Review of Sony MDR-EX76LP

iLove My Music

Advantages: Stylish, durable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Sound quality not as good as more expensive products, length of chord could be longer

...and that’s all down to Apple and their range of computers, coupled with the iPod in which then came iTunes; a place where anyone can download music to their computers to sync with their iPod, to CD’s or simply to listen to on their computer. It’s safe to say that Apple have achieved the best gadget of the decade in the iPod. But what good is an iPod or indeed any portable music player without headphones? I doubt I have to answer that for you but ...
...you? This is where Apple have come up with a winner with their classic set of headphones. Apple headphones have always been pretty much the same over the years and I think they’re all the better for it. You can go out and buy all the latest £100 pairs of headphones that you like, but you’ll look just as stylish with these because they have become synonymous with iPods, therefore as long as iPods continue to be seen not only as revolutionary music ...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

Decent enough but could be better!

Advantages: Decent fit, good sound quality, free with Ipods
Disadvantages: Expensive if bought without Ipod, breaks quite easily

Apple Ipod Earphones Review Apple Ipod Earphones are probably the most used and also the most recognizable earphones available. You will walk down the street and nearly always see someone wearing these or on the tube. Everyone has them because nearly everyone has an Ipod. However the earphones are actually not that great and although free with an Ipod cost about £15-20 if you want them new and I definitely would not recommend them if you are ...
...look quite nice like all Apple products. I do like the look of the earphones compared to most others around. ***Fitting and Comfort*** The earphones are quite comfortable and fit reasonably well. Mine used to often fall out of my left ear for some reason but that does not really happen now! They are basically quite nice fitting but nothing special. ***Sound Quality*** People sometimes criticize the Ipod sound quality but in these earphones the sound ...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

Better than your average pair, but not without flaws

Advantages: Great sound quality, Isolates noise, Great bass
Disadvantages: Poor treble, Poor packaging

There are a few reasons why you might want noise-isolating earphones. The obvious is, of course, the "noise isolating" (although to be more accurate it should be noise-cancelling). Earphones like this sit in the ear canal and expand so that extraneous noise is blocked out (other types of noise-cancelling headphones use a microphone on the outside powered by batteries and, if you're interested in listening to music on the train or plane, that sort ...
...The other reason to use this type of earphone would be because they don't tend to fall out as much as traditional earbuds of the sort you get with an iPod. I for one can only use that sort of earphone with the small foam "sock" or something similar as I seem to have very strange ears! So if you find yourself constantly having to push earphones back in, or find the falling out while at the gym or on the bike, then this type might be worth looking ...
