Panasonic RP-HTX80BE-K Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Comfortable Overhead Retro Style with Microphone and Dynamic bass with Acoustic Bass Control - Black

Product Information

Accurate and Fun– I was surprised by how many of my choices are, in fact, either designed for recording studio use, or have become favorites among recording artists and engineers. This is a reflection of how so many of the very best retro headphones are far more accurate and high fidelity than other choices in their class. After thorough evaluation, we believe these headphones are better suited to persons rigging or operating bigger sound systems. Even though the soft leather around the ears makes them more comfortable and acts as a tight seal, the weight may become too much, particularly for prolonged periods. We like the earcup-mounted volume controls that make it simple to customize the sound. They aren’t as boomy as Beats – not anywhere close, in fact – but these Panasonic 80s do have remarkably deep, strong and dominant bass. And their high frequencies are sparkling and prominent, and yet have very low distortion and always sound sweet. When we did focus on the sonics, we noticed that the Panasonic RP-HTX7 had a big, full and warm sound, with a slight emphasis on the midbass. Music that was already generous in this area, such as the album Villa Manifesto from Slum Village, could sometimes sound a little too boomy, but it never thumped its way into a one-note drone and still had decent pitch definition and clarity. Panasonic’s RP-HTX7 came in an easy-to-open, clear plastic display box with graphic cardboard inserts; no scissors or garden shears are required for getting to these cans.

They have a richness and smoothness that is unparalleled at this price level, and yet with detail, transparency and dynamic energy that is at times quite astounding. Deep bass, and plenty of it, is perhaps the only thing that keeps these from being at the very top of the “most accurate” category, but that same deep, strong, emphasized bass makes these some of the most exciting and fun headphones I’ve ever heard. but honestly I have gotten so worked up writing about all of these fantastic products – not to mention listening to them – that I can’t help but close this particular article with a little more gushing enthusiasm. Sony’s marketing clearly brings our attention to the large diaphragm of the MDR7506 wired over-ear headphones, and this really does say a lot about the design and sound of these legendary cans.

The quality of the sound is wonderful straight out of the box. We agree they are quite big and perhaps too heavy for “on-the-go” listening, but they’re completely worth buying because of their sturdiness and construction quality. In fact, they are not built or intended for portable usage. Instead, they are traditional-style headphones useful for frequent usage. One of the coolest and most fun looking pairs of headphones available, the Sennheiser HD 25 are also really fun to listen to, with an excitingly energetic sound and deep, fast, solid bass.

But these new ones,-the third generation of this true modern classic, with not just the latest Bluetooth but amazing active noise cancellation, hear-through technology, smart switching, digital assistant compatibility, a wonderful phone app and incredibly simple and intuitive operation – are more useful and integrate better into my life. Bass is strong, fast and sometimes intense – boosted beyond what we might call “neutral,” but so much fun. Vocals and mid frequencies come through with real presence and without distortion or harshness, and high frequencies are surprisingly well extended, fast and almost liquid in sound. In this guide, we’ll discuss retro headphones in detail. We’ve compiled a list of the 10 best retro headphones on the market but first, we need to tell you other things about retro headphones, such as factors you should look at while buying them. While the trend today is for sometimes overwhelmingly boosted bass, the Koss – which are designed to be accurate enough for demanding studio engineering work – take another approach: fast, solid, low distortion bass that goes much deeper into the deep bass and sub-bass regions, but is not artificially increased or accented. And, for their price level, they have really amazing sound – again, not for audiophile purists, maybe (except when their audiophile purist friends aren’t looking), but for everybody else they have a clear, clean and highly dynamic sound, with tons of bass, bright clear highs and a much more sweet and musical signature than most others in their class.The soundstage is respectably wide, too. However, all the good bits aren’t enough to detract from the core issue, which is hard to ignore. Basic, wired headphones that don’t even have a microphone, the AKG K92 are retro in all the best ways, and highly recommended! Full disclosure – this is my own personal headphone of choice, and my favorite headphone of all! I’ve owned these Momentum 3 headphones for around two years now, and use them more than all of my other pairs – uhm, yes, I do have quite a few pairs of headphones, thanks for asking… Aside from these ugly mids, the Panasonic RP-HTX80B sound pretty decent. Bass isn’t as powerful as that of the AKG Y50BT, but it sounds balanced and clean. Compared to the brashness of the mids, the treble is smooth and non-sibilant.

They are comfortable, light, and have standard-sized cups. It guarantees you won’t experience any of the typical discomfort associated with using headphones. They don’t press too hard on your head or harm your ears. However, because of how bouncy the headband is, they are secure enough to wear when using a treadmill.

Maybe it’s their resemblance to the true classic original Apple earbuds, which it seemed were all you saw 20 years ago, but the amazing little JVC Basic Gumy earbuds – especially in white – seem so very retro to me. The best retro headphones may be really old school not just in looks but in functionality as well, doing little or nothing more than playing music with a big, warm sound. Or they may have such space-age features and innovations that they are truly at the leading edge in terms of technological advancement – they may just not look like it!
