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

Quiet listening in noisy places at a bargain price

Advantages: Clear sound, light, fold nicely - great for travel
Disadvantages: Intentionally exaggerated bass!

The Panasonic RP-DJ100 headphones aren't exactly what you'd call professional-level kit, but I like them. I picked mine up in Argos of all places, because I'd broken my cheap-and-nasty headphones for the third time, and the sellotape bills were beginning to mount up, but I can't do without music at work. I like to try to concentrate, and I have some fairly noisy co-workers, so closed headphones sounded like a good plan. For those new to the topic, ...
...are: they're headphones which completely seal the ear off, meaning that very little outside noise gets through. Even when nothing is playing through the headphones, the mere fact of having them placed over the ears means that the world for you gets a little quieter, making them great for concentrating on music in noisy environments (one reason for the DJ monicker) - and as a bonus, they're just a little bit more socially acceptable than putting on ...

Review of Panasonic RP-DJ100E-S

Panasonic RP-HX70E

Advantages: Design is nice, but probably part of the durability problem
Disadvantages: Breaks easily! Don't buy it, unless you are really really gently.

Sound is A-OK! But (in my opinion) the headphone breaks too easy. Bought it, broke it within a week. Got the same product, broke it again within 2 weaks. Now I have troubles getting my money back, or getting them to repair it for free. They could surely say I was too rough with the product and they probably would be right. The problem is they say what you should and should not do with the product. When they say you'll have to be really really gently ...

Review of Panasonic RP-HX70E

iDont think they should be falling apart!?

Advantages: Very very good sound quality
Disadvantages: After constant use, they stop working

...I have used the included apple earphones that you get with the iPod for listening to my music on the computer and on the iPod. Out of all the earphones I have used, these are probably the best for sound quality. They have good bass and treble and all songs sound very, very clear. I liked the style of the earphones, with them being white, and they are incredibly comfy to use. They fitted in my ears very well, and even if i used them when i was walking ...
...anyyyyyy mp3 player or ipod or headphone port (apart from those is quite a few phones, where the port is smaller) Although... after about 8 months of constant use, i noticed one of the earphones starting to cut out or get quieter when i tilted or moved my head. It was also starting to fall apart with the rubber around the earphone. I decided to bin that set of earphones but did not want to pay 20 pound for some new ones. I got a new iPod for christmas ...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

Sony's hook

Advantages: neat and tidy with good sound production
Disadvantages: the retractor can sometimes be annoyingly in the way

...The Manufacturer Sony was founded by Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka in 1946. They were always designing and manufacturing new electronics. One of their first innovations was the automatic rice cooker that was successful. Morita and Ibuka earned a living by repairing radios and manufacturing voltmeters.

...For many years now, Sony is a household name, everywhere you go, Sony is there. CD player in the living room, television in the bedroom, DVD player in the car, mobile phones in your pocket and more. The Design This is basically an in-ear design; the earphone goes in the ear rather than covering the ears. 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 ...
