Panasonic RP HC500 Noise Cancelling Headphones

 

As a sinus sufferer, I don't like earbuds either for my music player or as a mobile phone headset. You continually feel as if you should be blowing your nose, every sound echoes around inside your skull and when you speak, because you cannot hear...

Ah bliss. Everyone should have a set. What a nicer world it would be. As long as we could find a way of stopping the kid behind from swinging continuously off the back of your seat and sticking their size 9's into the small of your back that is

Not great, but not too bad

 

Not great, but not too bad

These phones are a lot better than ordinary ones but not perfect. Noise cancelling on a plane is very good for low frequencies but less impressive for engine whine. The other two "cons" are that they become uncomfortably hot and tight after an hour or...

Avoid Panasonic headphones like a plague

 

Avoid Panasonic headphones like a plague

These $100 headphones busted after a year of gentle use. As the warranty is a paltry 90 days, a series of hard-to-understand phone support technicians were unsympathetic. They suggested I buy a new one. I suggest that I will never buy another...

Excellent head phones.

 

Excellent head phones.

I purchased this product primarily to block noise from a neighbour such as barking dogs, screaming mother at children, domestic disputes, and the like. The sound blocking at least for the sounds I didn't want to hear was great. They are comfortable...

Don't understand the negatives

 

Don't understand the negatives

I purchased these 2 years ago and have flown with them at least 20 times. For sitting on an aircraft (which they are designed for) I couldn't ask for anything better. I suppose if you use them actively, the life span will shorten but these were made...

Great porduct and great price

 

Great porduct and great price

Broken Within Two Years

 

Broken Within Two Years

These are (were) uncomfortable to wear, and the tight fit eventually resulted in the plastic breaking on the left earphone, rendering the headset unusable. The noise reduction was marginal, in my view. The sound for music and DVDs was pretty decent. If...
