Dual Hybrid Noise Cancelling
High-Performance Dual Hybrid Noise Cancelling combines the technologies of Feedback and Feedforward Noise Cancelling with the analogue and digital processing of captured noise. The S500WE wireless earbuds thus offer the perfect conditions for you to fully immerse in your audio content.
Stable Connections Even in Crowded Areas
Say goodbye to brief interruptions to your music or calls, even in crowded places, thanks to the optimised touch sensor and antenna in the S500WE earbuds’ compact cabinet design, complemented by a Left-Right Independent Signalling System. Enjoy the stable connection you deserve, wherever you are.
Excellent Call Quality
Thanks to the 6 high-performance MEMS mics built into the labyrinth cabinet structure, unpleasant noises are reduced for improved call quality.
Independent Signalling System
With S500WE the audio data is transmitted from your smart device to both earbuds independently, ensuring stable & superior signal quality.
Unique Antenna Structure
The S500WE’s small size was achieved thanks to an integration of our Bluetooth antenna & touch sensor inside the earbud’s control section.

As the headline states the sound and noise cancelling are great, pretty good bass for such smallish earphones.
As another reviewer mentioned though, if you plan on using them while running or even walking fairly briskly, you will have to keep adjusting them to stay in your ear. I almost lost one a couple of times because of this issue. I am using the correct rubber ear cups too.
I’ve only had these buds for a short while but so far they have performed well, good fit, good sound quality, good levels of volume. Easy to use and responsive to touch as required.
The sound is great, battery life is great, build quality is great and I am more than happy.
Noise cancellation is not great
But good value imho
Otherwise they are just headphones, nothing special.
For the price, I can’t complain.
The fit is a bit of an issue, the shape of the earbuds are a bit awkward and they are really bigger than the stardard wireless earbud so they tend to stick out of the ear a bit more (possibly not the best for working out for that reason).
Main issue is that bass is very underwhelming and flat, the rest of the sound quality is great however.
Another small gripe is the app feels very outdated and not the most premium, but I can look past that.
If youre not looking for heavy bass and want good noise cancellation, this is a great option for you!
Good sound, good noise cancelling performance. Good fit. The earbuds are well built and can take getting a bit wet, dropped in the sink once with no I’ll effects. I had to send the first pair back as the battery in both earbuds and charge case went flat in the case after a few days. This was an issue for me as I only use earbuds occasionally.
And that first version of the case had no magnets to hold the buds in place which was a definite negative.
However I was pleased when the replacement buds had a better case with magnets and seeming better build quality too, so I think this is pretty likely to be the version Amazon is now selling and I’ve had no problem whatever with the ability to hold charge between uses.
For the money these earbuds are brilliant value.
Sound quality is very good and noise reduction is extremely high but they not for the gym as they protrude too much
These really do sound amazing. I had a pair of earfun air (1st gen) which I loved, good sound, nice fit, robust and his battery life. But these Panasonic are NIGHT AND DAY difference in sound quality.
They are open, detailed, clear and musical. Not too much bass, not too much treble.
The noise cancellation I’m sure could be better, and the touch controls aren’t the most intuitive. But still – the sound is so good that they get 5 stars.
They fit me well, my ears are “normal” sized if there is such a thing. Can’t fault them.
These headphones are great. Comfortable, good battery and work nicely.
The only caveat is sometimes in very busy areas (e.g. major train station at peak time) the sound drops in and out a bit from interference but it’s hard to say if that’s due to my phone or the headphones.
Really great earphones, noise cancelling is great, sound quality perfect only complaint is that the case feels quite fragile and cheap.
Not great for working out. They keep falling out of ears.
Ok – although fitting/replacing the ear buds are a bit fiddly
Excellent sound quality and very efficient Noise Canceling – unfortunately these headphones fall out of the ears, are too heavy and fall out easily when moving the head, I sent it back. If I bought headphones for plane travel only, they would be perfect.
I’ve largely had Samsung Galaxy wireless earphones before, but prefer these Panasonic earphones to any Samsung buds I’ve ever had, the noise cancelling is excellent, they’re a very comfortable fit for me personally (often the Galaxy buds fell out) and look to have less breakable charging points (with one set of buds I broke a tiny wire in the box and couldn’t recharge them).
220 for the Galaxy buds 2 seemed ridiculous, especially given I have lost, broken or put four sets of various model Galaxy buds. I decided I’m cutting my spend on earphones, so I went for these after I read a review in What hifi and they’re great!
Had these a little while now and was worried they weren’t going to fit well with the reviews I’ve read. But they have not once fallen out of my ears. I wear them in the gym and the noise cancellations stops all the background noise and it’s just me and my music.
Sound quality is very good. I listen to metal and feel I can’t use the bass boost as it’s a little too ‘wobbly’ for lack of terminology knowledge. But they are loud and clear.
Would recommend to anybody
