The Panasonic RP-HC800 Noise Canceling Headphones utilize a high performance Active Noise Canceling System with improved Feed-back Noise Canceling Technology for a wide-range noise cancellation effect. Expertly crafted with a sophisticated design that fuses durable plastic with metal finishes, the RP-HC800 Headphones feature a wide padded headband and cushioned ear cups for a comfortable fit even after hours of wear. The detachable cord features a microphone and controller for the iPhone/iPad/iPod so users can quickly switch between music and phone calls with the touch of a button.

They are now available for MSRP $229.99.

RP-BTD10

The new Panasonic RP-BTD10 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones offer users a cordless headphone option featuring a sleek, sophisticated design concept and excellent sound quality with 40mm driver unit. The RP-BTD10 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) to easily pair with compatible products to establish a wireless Bluetooth connection and incorporate aptX for HiFi sound transmission and less transfer delay which creates richer sound playback when viewing videos on a tablet device.

A rechargeable lithium ion battery allows for approximately 30 hours of playback time. They will be available in May for MSRP $199.99.

RP-HS34

New earbud-style headphones for 2014 include the Panasonic RP-HS34 Sport Clip Headphones. The sporty headphones have been designed with an ear-clip style with an adjustable hanger size for individual fit. A lightweight design and water and sweat resistance make these headphones ideal for joggers, runners or anyone who enjoys listening to music while exercising or outdoors. The flexible ear hanger is both durable and comfortable and resists popping off the ear if the headphone cord is accidentally pulled. Available in black, yellow, red, purple, blue, and white, the Panasonic RP-HS34 Headphones are now available for an MSRP of $19.99.

RP-BTGS10

Finally, Panasonic’s highly anticipated RP-BTGS10 Open Ear Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones, which provides sound transmission via bone conduction and free up a user’s ears for other important sounds, will be available in May for MSRP $199.99. To provide sound transmission, the Panasonic RP-BTGS10 headphones sit directly in front of a user’s ear canal, instead of inside or over the ear canal, where vibrations move through the bone directly into the auditory nerve, producing crystal clear sound. With placement outside the ear, the Panasonic RP-BTGS10 headphones have the ability to free up one’s ear drum giving users the opportunity to hear their favorite music while still listening to the outside world. This is especially convenient for use in the office or while jogging or cycling as it allows users to listen to their favorite music while still hearing the voices of colleagues, the ring of a telephone or the beep of a car horn. The Panasonic RP-BTGS10 headphones are also equipped with a bone conduction microphone, which will allow a user to record voice notes or take telephone calls while listening to their music. For active users who tend to sweat, the Panasonic RP-BTGS10 headphones are drip-proof due to the unique product design which is free of air holes in the earphone. The sleek product design rests comfortably on a user’s head and while staying secured in place. With wireless headphone technology, users won’t have to worry about accidentally pulling the headphones from their head or long cords tangling. Additionally the headphones allow the elderly or hard-of-hearing to hear television clearly without turning up their TV speakers to loud levels as they work with televisions that are equipped with Bluetooth® transmitter.

The new Panasonic headphones are now available on www.shop.panasonic.com.
