All round, I'd say Panasonic's first foray into the noise-cancelling headphones market is a pretty successful one. Its RP-HC500 headphones are nicely made, comfortable and (for circumaural headphones) are pretty portable.

Moreover, for the sort of money we're talking they sound very, very good and the noise cancelling works brilliantly without being over-intrusive. They can't quite match the best that Sennheiser has to offer in terms of sound quality, and sound quality is pretty nasty once the battery dies, but if these are anything to go by, the German manufacturer is going to have to up its game, because the RP-HC500s offer very good value for money.
