Panasonic RP-HC70 Noise-Canceling Headphones with XBS Extra Bass System With the Panasonic RP-HC70 Noise-Cancelling Headphones along for the ride, you’ll no longer harbor suspicions that the airlines deliberately seat you as close to the jet engines as possible. Because you won’t care! These lightweight, folding headphones are designed for travel, and they apply two levels of noise cancelling effect to CD-Audio, music and talk radio.
Customer Review: Grandkids loved them
I purchased these for a trip to Tampa. We were flying with our Grandkids and we needed something to occupy them.
We have a Panasonic DVD player and these headphones were just right for the occasion.
They didn’t totally cancel the jet noise but performed fairly well.
I would recommend them as an inexpensive set that will do the job
Customer Review: PRETTY GOOD
I bought these recently and think they are a pretty good deal for the money.

Customer Review: outstanding value, only negative is the headband
This is an outstanding value headphone for only $25. You can’t beat that. It’s a large studio monitor headphone that encloses the ears. The sound is excellent–balanced and clear. My only issue regarding the sound is that the highest freqs are a tad excessive for my taste, but that is trivial to fix with a slight EQ adjustment (a lot easier to fix than other freqs).

Panasonic RP-HS52 Shockwave Clip-on and Straps Design Headphones with In-line Volume Control Clip-on Headphones with In-cord Volume Control and XBS Extra Bass System.
Customer Review: Great for the price
I have purchased any number of clip-on headphones over the past few years. Some have greater sound quality than others. Some are nicer looking or more comfortable. All well and good but the reason I buy a lot of these headphones is because I break them almost as quickly as I buy them. I use the clip-on’s at the gym, in the car, at the office, around the block, on the plane. I wear them so I can hear the music plus the outside noise. Plus, earbuds are too big for my ears and hurt after about 30 minutes of use. I break the ear-clips off routinely no matter what brand or the amount I paid. For the price the sound on these are great, the volume control is critical for using in the office and they are stylish (everyone thinks I paid more for these than any others I have owned). My only beef is that the cord is a bit short but is only a problem when I am plugged into my work computer.
Customer Review: Should have stuck with the RP-HG50s
I previously bought the Panasonic RP-HG50 Neck Band Headphones with XBS Extra Bass System and wanted an extra pair to go to the gym. The foam pads on the HG50s fell off too easily and I did not notice when it happened so I had to replace them with ill fitting Plantronic ear cushions. Anyway, the sound on the HG50s is great, I cannot say that about these RP-HG52s. The sound is weak and tinny, nowhere near the bass of the HG50s. I doubt I will ever use these and will probably give them away, looks like I’ll be looking for another set of ear cushions for my HG50s.

Panasonic RP-HS22 Sport Clip-On Headphones with Washable Earpads (Grey) Sweat proof and Water resistant / Housing made of Elastomer for soft fitting / Washable pads / Cord clip / Additional pair of pads included
Customer Review: It’s comfortable
It’s very comfortable and flexible. But I feel that the length of the wire is short.
Customer Review: Great fit bad sound
I previously had the koss but changed since they keep falling out. I have tried this for about 3 weeks @ 3x a day. The fit is the best and I never have to touch them again. The biggest problem is the sound. I don’t constantly have to fiddle with the earphones however I do have to change the volume constantly. For some reason the highs are extremely tinny/loud and when playing certain music it hurts my ears. The bass is obviously lacking. I’m no audiophile but when playing music that used to sound good on regular headphones now hurts the ears is really bad. I think I had to crank the volume so high to hear the mids and lows that when the highs come in they hurt.

Customer Review: Better then some
These are the 3rd pair of headphone that I have owned. All things being equal, they are the best sounding pair that I have. But they do have some problems. Their range is very short. Going beyond the room where the base is can be troublesome. I have 800 Mhz headphones, and while know that frequency can penetrate walls better then 2.4Ghz I was hoping they would at least keep up with my laptop’s wireless which they don’t even come close. If your not going far from the base then these are the headphones for you!
Customer Review: Pretty nice
I bought these primarily so I could watch TV while on the treadmill without having the volume real loud. They’re pretty much everything I hoped they would be.

Panasonic RF-SW50S Portable FM / AM Radio with Armband and Stereo Headphones Panasonic’s vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use its products every day. The company shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.PRODUCT FEATURES: SHOCKWAVE concept (tough body and water resistant); Sports radio with easy-to-use arm band; Digital synthesizer tuner with 20-station (10-FM/10-AM) preset memory; 5 preset keys; Easy-to-use tuning dial; Up to 25-hour playback with just one “AAA” alkaline battery; Easy-to-see large LCD.
Customer Review: Excellent pocket radio with great reception and sound quality
Having purchased the Sangean DT-110, 120, 180 and the 200VX as well as the Sony SRF-37V and SRF-M97 (as well as several Kaito radios, including the KA11, KA1102, etc.), I can readily say that the Panasonic RF-SW50S is the best radio to use for listening in the close proximity of computing and related RF (Radio frequency) noise generating equipment. Please see my many other very detailed reviews on these other radios. The Panasonic is very ruggedly made and has a very nice display (no clock or automatic turnoff however) with battery status (even if it is turned off by simply pressing preset button #3 and of course while it is turned on) and a lock switch status indicated when it is on or off too as well as 20 individual presets (10 total on am and 10 total on fm chosen in two user selectable operating modes, i,e, mode1 and mode2), etc. The RF-SW50S is only a little larger than the Sangean and Sony units too so that it still just fits the nice, inexpensive hard shell, HS-5, Digital Tech concepts case that I bought from Sears (this product can also be viewed at Sakar International). In addition, I really like the very high quality of the sound of the Panasonic shock wave radio (it also comes with a deep bass boost switch) and the useful DX/local FM sensing switch (with standard city interference or normal DX settings).
