Processing:
First falls in this handset of course the retro design eye, thus it is I have noticed in the business.
Fortunately, you could plug in his iPhone right there and Preview. I have a few devices from Panasonic with whom I am very satisfied.
However, my company was not known for headphones.
I have the Panasonic now than half a year. Build quality is excellent as before. The handset itself are held by steel strap, which can be adapted instantly and easily. The ear cups completely enclose the ear. The pad could be a little softer, but close very well, so the Panasonic environmental noise shields very well. Whether the headband is made of leather, I can not determine, however, it is very comfortable to wear. The cable is single-sided and sufficiently long (even an extension cord is set). Cable noise are available, but be regarded as quite moderate. The PX360 Sennheiser is there even quieter. The cable is quite thick and seems durable. The caps at the end of the earpiece are provided made of metal and very discreet with the company logo.
A total of HTX7 looks very stylish is very well made and it exists in real great colors.
Sound:
So connect the iPhone out of pure curiosity. And I must say that until then I with a
Bose OnEar was traveling. The first impression was just surprising. The headphones achieve high volume and although the iPhone is indeed throttled.
The sound is very powerful with rich bass. Nevertheless, middle and treble are not forgotten. In short, a headset fun immediately.
So buy now and on the way home (subway in Berlin: According to) tried. Environmental noise disappears, the headset plays really inspiring to.
Such a big sound on the go, I have rarely experienced. Clearly, with this handset you fall course (even in Berlin ...) on).
Home been tested at rest: What really speaks for this handset is its excellent spatial imaging. The sound is created very spacious, which is rare for a closed headphone. Stereo effects are very effective over here. Whether this is due to the domed type I can not judge.
Despite the spaciousness of the headphones never loses its pressure. As a second feature you have to praise the dynamism of the listener. The Panasonic is definitely dynamic: Loud passages are also noisy. Other headphones act as often slowed.
The headset comes with every material cope very well. However, electronic music, he seems to love). It is classical music because of its bass the necessary ground.
Of course, he also has weaknesses. A bit more transparency would be desirable especially for delicate pieces. Here you should, however, remember that the Hörerziemlich is favorable.
Compare:
Compared Bose OnEar, Bose AroundEar, Sennheiser PX360 Sennheiser HD238.
Sennheiser PX360: Here a direct Vergeich is possible, because it is both listening to the closed building type (For this listener, I have set a separate review). The HTX7 is the better choice here. Although the Sennheiser solves a bit better and is more precise, but plays much flatter, less space and does not develop this momentum.
He is on the iPhone much quieter and costs more than double.
Sennheiser HD238: difficult to compare, because an open headphones. The HD238 (Again own review available) draws mainly from its very high resolution and accuracy as well as the comfort. Since the Panasonic does not come with all. But he scores here with its dynamism, at high volume the HD238 goes ever run out of steam. Stereo effects come in HTX7 over better. Listening with the Sennheiser is relaxing, transparent and detailed, with the Panasonic, however powerful, powerful, what is striking about the new TRON soundtrack. Here there is a tie, because the Panasonic actually makes just as much fun. But if you only listen to classical music, which is recommended due to the high resolution of HD238. Also significantly more volume with the Panasonic here incidentally achieved.
The Bose models:
Both models are quite similar, with the OnEar is the better, because more accurate model. Both have the typical Bose signature, so a lot of bass. The sound is actually not as bad as often described - on the contrary, very pleasant - but the act Bose listeners tuned and sometimes therefore not realistic. Both reach a fairly high volume on the iPhone but stay behind the Panasonic. Their biggest shortcoming is certainly the (too) high price because of Panasonic for significantly less money offers the same.
Conclusion:
By HTX7 Panasonic is a very good headphones succeeded on the iPhone works especially very effective. After six months, no weaknesses in the processing has been made. The sound can be described as very good for the price range and the type, it lacks a little transparency / resolution.
The headset offers excellent space and a wide dynamic range and a more than adequate volume. The design is unusual but this very well thought out.
Last but not least you have to give the most reasonable price. Everything taken together can therefore confidently call it a Best Buy.
