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

Product Information

We found that the SchoolMate Deluxe Stereo Headphones are soft and cushioned. They have a braided nylon cable that is six-feet long, leatherette ear cushions, and an adjustable headband. Each set of headphones comes with a sturdy carrying case. They are easy for the kids to use and fit well on small heads, and kids can place the soft leatherette ear cushions over the ears to cut out ambient noise. Because the best retro headphones really are great choices for anybody – not just fun, but really great products on all levels! And, besides all that, they are pretty cool looking – kind of retro, kind of modern, kind of unnoticeable. A little harsh? Yeah, sure – and in fact these amazing headphones are not really that ugly… Or beauty is in the eye of the beholder… Or, ahem, form follows function. Or, beauty is only skin deep. In conclusion, if you want headphones that have a retro look and active noise cancelation, then Koss QZ-99 Noise Reduction Stereophone is the one you should buy! These headphones are comfortable and durable. We loved how they isolated ambient noises, even in the busiest surroundings, while providing stellar sound performance and clarity.

The headphones’ cups are made of aluminum instead of plastic, and the headband cushioning comes in fabric instead of synthetic leather. Using textured materials is a tried-and-true Marley strategy. These headphones weigh next to nothing thanks to their lightweight aluminum frame and foldable plastic earcup hinge. And the Sony MDR7506 are one of the best examples of this, a superbly musical and accurate pair of headphones that are legend in recording studios as well as among normal music lovers everywhere. Most of the headphones on this list of top retro-style cans have been made for many years, decades even, and so their retro headphone style is totally understandable. Because one of the main and most obvious qualities of the 7506 is deep, deep bass. They go really low, with speed, accuracy, detail and incredible dynamic energy. In this they also reveal a bit of a trend among all of the best retro headphones on the market – accuracy over hype.The Panasonic RP-HTX80B are light, and have full-size cups. This ensures they steer clear of the most common headphone comfort issues. They don’t hurt your ears, or clamp around your head too tightly. The headband is super-springy, though, making them secure enough to use on the treadmill. While the retro oversized design may raise eyebrows, it serves its function by accommodating a wide range of head circumferences. The double-hooped headband is adjustable to fit any size or shape of the head.,and the small flaps (what Audio Technica calls self-adjusting 3D wing support’) below it are also flexible, although we found them too flimsy for our taste. 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. Hours of pink noise break-in later, the mid-range honk hadn’t disappeared. And you won’t hear this issue in the price-comparable (if on-ear) AKG Y50BT or Urbanista Seattle.

Sound quality is perfectly good bar one pervasive, annoying issue. These headphones have a real problem in their mid-range.No, I can’t do it! However you look at it, however I say it, these are not the most beautiful cans in the world. The Koss Pro-4AA are, though, for all their retro homeliness, fantastic sounding headphones, with staggeringly accurate and neutral sound that would satisfy even the most demanding audiophiles.

I scoured Google to see if I could find a direct inspiration for the Panasonic RP-HTX80B’s curved cup look. They seem so familiar, I half-expected to find a 1950s photo of a radio operator wearing something similar, but clunkier.The Master and Dynamic MW65 are also incredibly fast, high resolution headphones, with transient response, resolution of detail, phase and time coherence and tonal purity – among many other aspects of sound reproduction – that are truly top notch. The sound is, of course, not as good as some of the very expensive headphones on our list, but for the money it is amazing – very, very dynamic, with real energy and excitement, great clarity all the way up and down, and much deeper and more solid bass than you’d expect from headphones of this size.

These Master and Dynamic headphones are brand new, however, and their retro style – probably unintentional – is more a result of the superb materials, including anodized aluminum and caramel lambskin, and the solid, premium quality that is evident in every single detail. Just for their features and functionality, and their fabulous sound, the JLab Rewind are a pretty obvious choice at this price level, and if you love the retro headphone style they are a no-brainer! There’s no folding mechanism here. The cups wiggle laterally a little to fit your head, but they don’t fold in to take up less space when off your head. These retro headphones last master an excellent balance of a cool design and good price. The battery life lasts up to 22 hours and has a rapid charge feature. A true high fidelity product, intended for the high end audiophile market, these M&D 65s stand out in another way as well – they are, unlike any other choice on the list, neutral almost to a fault.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. What’s really great about these headphones is that not only are they comfortable, they are remarkably non-fatiguing to listen to. This is especially noteworthy because the 92s have a pretty bright, detailed sound, with so much upper end detail and clarity they seem like they would be harsh. With almost 60 years in the business, Marshall Amplification is a company that consistently delivers with their top-notch audio devices, and when it comes to retro headphones? The Marshall Major III didn't come to play.
