Panasonic's RP-HC55-S earbud headphones with noise reduction use active noise control circuitry to reduce the low frequency noise in airplanes, trains, and cars by about 88%. Get great noise canceling in a pair of ultra-portable earbuds.
Earbud Design
If you thought noise canceling was only available in over-the-ear headphones, think again. The RP-HC55 are some of the smallest noise-canceling earphones on the market, designed to stay comfortably in the ear. Three pairs (small/medium/large) of removable and replaceable earpads are included for a comfortable custom fit.
Solid Performance
Neodymium magnets and a 9mm drive unit work together to deliver great earbud sound, with a frequency response of 10 Hz - 20 kHz with 88 dB/mW sensitivity.
Made for Travel
The RPHC55S noise-canceling unit doubles as a handy cord holder, allowing the phones to be drawn out or rewound into the case. A carrying pouch is included as well, for easy, protected transport. These are ideal for travel, in fact, with an included airplane plug adapter.
About Noise Canceling
Environmental noises in airplanes, trains, and buses, or noise caused by air-conditioners can be reduced by a fourth, to provide a quieter listening environment. This function allows you to enjoy music without raising the volume too high, and is, therefore, kinder to your ears.
The RP-HC55-S headphones mainly reduce lower frequency sounds. Sounds with higher frequency portions, such as car horns, telephones, or human voices, remain relatively intact.

This review is from: Panasonic RP-HC55-S Noise-Cancelling Earbud Headphones (Silver) (Electronics) I was an early adopter of active noise canceling technology and over the years have had many a pair of ANC headphones. They did serve their primary purpose of hearing protection and I still have them in the garage for the occasional power tool moments.
For long commutes, however, these headphones are simply too bulky and heavy to be comfortable. The pressure on the ears becomes particularly unbearable with glass frames. Two years ago, I got a pair of Shure E2c Sound Isolating In-Ear Earphones Color CLEAR - E2C / E2 just for my daily rides on the rail. The Shure is light, convenient and good-sounding. It lacks the active NC circuit but the in-ear design dampens the ambient noise sufficiently on the train. Once I started flying regularly for business, however, I went looking for a stronger solution. My first try was...Read more 125 of 126 people found the following review helpful:  pretty good set of noise cancelling buds, This review is from: Panasonic RP-HC55-S Noise-Cancelling Earbud Headphones (Silver) (Electronics) I bought these panasonic noise cancelling buds after the sony N/C buds I bought only worked on one ear. I use a lot of headphones, and I think the sound is pretty good, but not great, and the noise cancelling feature is good, but not great. They are comfortable, and use a rubber type bud that really helps to seal out the sound in addition to the noise cancelling. I really prefer using buds, but the Sennheiser 250 noise cancelling are superior for not a lot more money, but if you are trying to use buds they are pretty good, especially for the money. One annoying thing, the wire to the battery unit is just a little short for walking around with. I am pretty tall but this just hangs from my ears if I don't have a shirt with front pocket or placket. 118 of 120 people found the following review helpful: Best Deal!, By This review is from: Panasonic RP-HC55-S Noise-Cancelling Earbud Headphones (Silver) (Electronics) These are the best bang for the buck! I bought them after reading Consumer Report's review rating them higher than the Bose and Sennheisers. I own a pair of Sennheisers and they're ok, but too big. This is my 4th pair of noise cancelling and by far the best. Previously, I've owned Koss, Sennheisers, Logitech and more recently Audio Technica, ranging in price from 35-$100 and by far these are superior in every aspect. These are also the first in ear I've owned. The only downside is the bass is a bit disappointing. I'm curious to see how these match up to the dual driver phones Apple recently released. Give them a 4.5/5 for sound quality, 4.75/5 for sound isolation, 5/5 for value! |
