These comfy in-ear phones block the majority of noise via rubbery stoppers, and the in-line volume control spares you from having to fumble around to make quick

Panasonic RP-HC55 Review

 

Clear sound with active cancellers at a surprisingly economical price

The headphones are quite solid and boast of an interesting shape that gives a unique touch to it. The superior isolation score makes sure the active noise cancellation technology works really well. It is one of the most economical active-cancellers...

The audio quality could have been better. The pendant is not located at a strategic place which robs off the comfort factor to a considerable extent

The Panasonic RP-HC55 headphones promise decent audio experience along with durability and comfort. The active noise cancellation is, probably, its most remarkable feature. The long battery life makes it a sensible choice to go for.

Best noise-canceling earphones

 

Of earphones that offer both passive and active noise cancelation, the Panasonic RP-HC55 earphones get the best reviewer response. These earphones block sound waves physically, as well as generate white noise inside the ear, which negates other...

Active noise canceling, very long battery life, comfortable fit

Unexceptional sound quality, noise-canceling unit can pull on cord

A scientific, in-depth analysis with side-by-side comparisons

The RP-HC55s aren’t spectacular headphones. In fact, they have some issues with comfort since the control pendant is downright awkward. This being said, if the pendant doesn’t annoy you, these are a very inexpensive set of active-cancelling in-ears....

I'll just summarize my comments which echoes other reviewers. Pros: 1. decent noise cancellation 2. works well as advertized Cons: 1. cord is too short and if you are doing workouts, you can hit the cord and have the clip on piece come out 2. clip on...

good value

 

best priced for the value, they just increased the price so now I would need to compare it again, but at 50 usd, it beats the comprable pioneer and audio technica earphones at 1/2 the price.

Consumer review by:

Produces static after little use

 

I wish I'd read the four other reviews stating how the earbuds produce static after little use. I've possibly used these five times at most and there is a loud static in the left earbud that makes the listening experience noxious and unbearable after...

Consumer review by:

Bad Design

 

Product broke within a week of receiving. Started getting nothing but static from right earpiece. Problems with the design in the battery pack is heavy and the line is too short for support so it constantly pulls on the unit until it causes a break in...

Great For the compactness

 

I have had my pair for about 2 1/2 years and they are everything I expected. I wanted a small headset/ earbuds that had decent noise cancelation and were easy to take everywhere. I would estimate they cancel about 80% of ambient noise compared the the...
