New Noise Canceling Headphones

Every day, our ears are assaulted by myriad levels of sound. Many people aren't aware of the negative effects of audio overload and how hard our brains are working to filter out background noise, which can result in a lack of concentration and fatigue. To the rescue are Panasonic’s new noise canceling headphones. Perfect for traveling, studying or working, the headphones are designed to counteract noise, negating the annoying background sounds of airplane engines, air conditioners, disruptive voices and other ambient noise. Noise canceling can be also switched off when the user wants to converse or listen to external sound.

Panasonic's noise-canceling headphones come in three configurations: an ear-bud, open air type and monitor style.

The RP-HC50 ear-bud headphones feature 2-level noise-canceling, separate controller, long battery life (up to 50 hours) and XBS Extra Bass System.

The RP-HC70 includes the same features in a foldable headband design.

Also foldable, the RP-HC100 features large, 36mm-diameter speaker driver units and a Neodymium rare-earth magnet for powerful sound. It has a frequency response of 8Hz - 22Hz. An included carrying pouch makes it ideal for travel.
