Headphones > In Ear Headphones > Panasonic

Ouch. That hurt my ears more than my pocket.

Advantages: Lightweight, sounds good, looks good, volume control
Disadvantages: Has to be uncomfortably tight to make noise cancellation work

My second Panasonic purchase of late. These are active noise cancelling earphones, which is not apparent in the product details here at ciao, unless you peer rather closely at the picture. Technically they work, but I don't like them. Here's why. --- What is noise cancelling? --- Noise cancelling means that a microphone detects background noise and tries to cancel it by emitting equal and opposite sounds from the earphones so the pressure wave ...
...month ago, I saw these Panasonic earphones, bought and opened them there and then. At about 80 US dollars (42 quid at the time), they weren't cheap, but that's more a flaw of airport shops. The build quality is good and the box was supplied with the required AAA battery, which has lasted over twenty hours of intermittent use (and should apparently last up to 50 hours). I tried them on while waiting for the flight and was not impressed. I played ...

Review of Panasonic RPHC50

PANASONIC HEADPHONESS!

Advantages: Very cheapp
Disadvantages: if on full on the volume, it gradually wears these headphones out.

...more flexibility. i think these panasonic RP-HV are good for the money. With all headphones there are some wear and tear, because ive had mine over 3 years, only the right ear works. But i was happy that the product lasted me over 3 years. :) The reason i got these panasonic headphones was because they were cheap and effective. I like that they are in ear, not them over the head ones because they hurt my head.lol But overall i would give this a ...

Review of Panasonic RP-HV 103

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 ...
