Panasonic RP-HC100

The Panasonic RP-HC100 is a full-size noise-canceling headset that completely covers your ears yet folds to about half its normal size when not in use. Our test unit lacked competitors' transparency and extended high end, and it provided the least...

Panasonic RP-HC100

Based on other reviews, I thought it would likely only work in planes and similar environments. However, it even significantly reduces television background sound. When playing a CD and watching TV, I can't even hear the TV. When on, there is just a...

Quiets the environment, good price, better than expected

Could be slightly lighter but not bad

Panasonic RP-HC100

I took these headphones on two plane-rides and a handful of subway commutes. The noise cancellation completely took care of the engine noises on the plane. As my friend said, "I can't even tell I'm in the air." The NYC subway is a much tougher...

Great noise cancellation, fantastically loud, good sound

I said good sound, not perfect sound

Good performance at a decent price...not the best if you travel a lot.

The noise reduction in these headphones is good, and they don't drain the battery fast. As long as the phones are fitted tight to your ear, the noise reduction works pretty well. If you travel a lot, like I do, you'd want a stronger headband than...

Great for the noisy office

I got these because of construction going on at my office. I didn't have the budget to buy the big boys, or even the need--just wanted something to help drown out the buzz. I've used them on airplanes as well and they're a big step up from standard...
