Panasonic RP-HC300 noise-cancelling headphones

Date Published: 1/11/06

Airline travel can be quite the hassle these days, but there are ways to make it a bit more enjoyable. One easy way is to bring along a pair of noise-canceling Panasonic RP-HC300 headphones, slip them on after boarding the flight, and tune out everything else.

These headphones do more than just block external sound, as they actually generate an out-of-phase signal that cancels out background ambient noise. A single AAA battery is all that is needed to produce the out-of-phase signal.

As regular headphones, the closed-ear design gives the RP-HC300 a very good sound. Neodymium drivers produce full, rich audio, with a terrific bass response that sounds wonderful with pop music. The frequency response is listed as 8Hz to 22,000Hz.

For easy storage, the cord is removable when not in use. To make taking them along easier, these headphones fold up, and they even come with an adapter that will fit airplane sound systems. A carrying pouch keeps it all together.

Anyone who tries the Panasonic RP-HC300 headphones will not want to travel without them again.
