A promise is usually an excellent wearing comfort and great sound and often because it's just asked a rich bass. Interestingly, each headphone sounds different. It's always amazing when you have many devices to choose from and these are then compared.
The Panasonic RP-HX550 is called Street headphones should therefore have been designed especially for outdoor use. I personally prefer for Outside Although more in-ear headphones, but many may prefer lying on the ear headphones that offer mostly also a warmer sound.
The HX550 is visually very appealing in any case. He is indeed mainly made of plastic, but has some nice chrome-colored highlights, thereby making a very high-quality impression. The one-sided and sufficiently long cables can not be removed, which is also not exceptional in this price range is. What is striking is that the cable is not round but flat. Thus, it is not so easily knotted. But that this is an over-ear headphones, the HX550 looks relatively compact.
The ear cups can be folded down, so can the HX550 good into a travel bag. But this is also handy when one is addressed, because one can quickly free up an ear for his interlocutor. This feature is of course interesting for DJs / remixers. The earcups completely envelop the ears and are not too tight at least for my taste. Comfort I would describe as a pleasant, even during longer wear.
What is there in terms of reporting sound?
The HX550 promises dynamic bass and powerful stereo sound and do not want to deny you it really the headphones also. However, I would sound more balanced towards and unobtrusive rate. That's not meant to be derogatory, because you really get a nice resolution stereo sound with a wide panorama, but he did not unleashed automatically to each sound a bass-Inferno, but forms only on what offers the song. Bass-driven hip-hop sounds according deeply stressed, pop and rock, however, are airy and shallow depending on mix. So if queerbeet by all Genre listen and prefer a more genuine, which can certainly come up with the HX550 at his own expense. The good and wide stereo playback, the HX550 is also great for movies and series episodes that are by now also on smartphones, laptops and tablets has here everywhere. In terms of volume, the headphone level of tolerance, without distorting it.
The HX550 has moreover no handsfree or remote control functions. This should be kept in mind if you want to use it on Smartphone priority.
The product promises that the headphones can shield reliably be closed, circumaural design ambient noise to confirm quite. However, getting fellow close depending on the selected volume already with what you hear, although the damping is in itself relatively well.
Conclusion: The Panasonic RP-HX550 Street headphones are a true all-rounder, who although sonically no new dimensions opened up, but more than solid to please as a reliable partner in all white musical genres. Here, the HX550 know not only as a device for outdoor use to favor, but are also at home on the PC or TV, no nakedness. Those who prefer a strong bassy that wraps maybe the Sony XB-series to the ear, but fans of undistorted and dynamic sound coming by RP-HX550 very good at their expense, especially if you look at the really low price in mind holds because visually and technically the headset acts significantly more expensive.
