Tontaube

For the perfect music enjoyment I have an elderly Sennheiser. The twenty-five-year-old boy determined but is now in menopause. What with a headphones otherwise called as "Go, do not go", or "crunches and rustles or not". For quite some time I think about for a new purchase. I admit it but then just as often be back because there are more important things than a headset. Amazon Vine now offered me the Panasonic RP-HX550. This was the opportunity to exchange old for me against new.

Actually, the comparison is enormous. My Sennheiser was bought at the height of my listening to music hobbies. Mind you as HiFi Headphones. For good sound it took time. Accordingly high was at that time and the willingness to invest a little more in audible quality. Good 250 German Öcken cost then the croaker. Gold plated connectors included. The Panasonic is actually a luxury solution for iPod, ZEN or other Speichergeraffel with volume control. My demands on the Panasonic were therefore not just overburdened by illusions. All the more surprised me what came out of the blister pack.

The Panasonic is processed very clean. The design is modern. The material mix of aluminum, leather-like fabric and plastic like. The suspension of the outer ear is made clever. Haptic of Panasonic is a winner.
Perfect I find the Einseitenlösung the cable guide. But someone has thought. The clear position feedback of the lock I find pleasant and helpful. The comfort of the Panasonic is surprisingly good.

What surprised me the tonal appearance. The Panasonic is a thoroughly honest guy with a clear message. For the friends of low frequencies of Panasonic has sufficient reserves. He is not a Bass miracles, but really no squeaky whistle, like so many of his Speaker colleagues. The tones are very differentiated at the hearing center. The shield is outwardly fine. The approach of a freight train will not miss him.
What you here for the called tariff gets surprised. Of course, the market has still significantly more expensive, and supposedly better. Nevertheless me the Panasonic fits quite well.
This is an often underestimated factor incidentally. Especially with headphones is the title of "The Best" very controversial. The perception of sounds is a very individual property. "The Best" can be a "rivet" for another already. Just the comfort also has an effect on perception. Here is just test announced. With adapter plug of Panasonic are also at the inpatient Kenwood from a decent figure.

Short and sweet

Positive:
+ Processing and haptics
+ Sound
+ Single-sided cable
+ Optics
+ Good shielding

Without nerve factor

My conclusion: The Panasonic is one of the few among many sonorous sounds in this price range. It is processed thoroughly honest. The feel is top of the price range and the sound quite convincing. Hear yourself.
