    Produktdesign und Verpackung sind vllig aus der Zeit gefallen. Geht meiner Meinung gar nicht. Deswegen 1 Stern Abzug. Noise Cancelling finde ich gut – aber mchte ich nicht bewerten weil meine Vergleichsmglichkeiten doch recht bersichtlich sind.

    Der Sound: Ich mag es recht warm. Die Stimmen sollen natrlich sein. Die Hhen drfen nicht zischen. Bisher habe ich im bezahlbarem Bereich nichts passendes gefunden. Wenn die Bose nicht so riesig wren htte ich wohl etwas mehr Geld ausgegeben… Bose hat mich nie enttuscht. Nachdem ich in der App der Panasonic den Bass leicht verstrkt habe finde ich den Sound tatschlich groartig. Vergleichbar mit meinen astronomisch teuren Kabelkopfhrern (Over ear). Ich kann mir ehrlich gesagt keinen besseren Sound vorstellen… ich hre alles ausser Klassik. Von Leonard Cohen ber Metallica bis Moby alles klingt beeindruckend.

    Die Panasonic sind leicht, bequem und passen mir gut. Ich finde sie aber zu gro und hsslich (Bitte Panasonic holt euch mal anstndige Produktdesigner) – aber werde sie dennoch behalten. . Der Sound macht mich glcklich.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI bought a really cheap pair of ear buds on a whim and instantly knew it was a bad call so I did a bit of digging and found these top of the list on a What Hi-Fi survey. They are truly astounding and probably the best headphones I’ve ever owned (and I’ve been through a lot of headphones in my time). Crystal clear, rich bass and a very effective noise cancelling and ambient sound function. The buds have had some criticism for the fit but mine sit perfectly happily in my ears and the four different sizes of earbuds supplied mean nearly anyone could find a good snug fit. Great purchase.

    Anche se ho visto qualche recensione parlare negativamente della vestibilit, devo dire che nella mia esperienza (ed anche in quella di mia moglie), gli auricolari si comportano benissimo nell’attivit sportiva, basta infatti rispettare il verso d’inserimento e ruotare leggermente perch si fissino perfettamente all’orecchio.
    Sublime la qualit sonora ma non aspettatevi un volume pazzesco in stile Beats, la funzione di isolamento dal rumore esterno funziona alla grande tanto che anche a basso volume, l’ascolto davvero perfetto, le frequenze si distinguono tutte senza che ce ne sia qualcuna pi enfatizzata rispetto all’altra.
    I controlli touch sono molto comodi e reattivi. Un tocco prolungato nel destro e attivi/disattivi la funzione di cancellazione del rumore e quella di rumore ambientale (ebbene si, perch se non vi basta quello che sentite senza la funzione di cancellazione del rumore, i microfoni vi fanno sentire quello che c’ fuori in maniera pi presente… fondamentale per chi va in bici); due tap sul sinistro e abbassi il volume, tre e lo alzi etc etc etc.
    L’auricolare non per niente pesante anche se a prima vista non sembra… nell’orecchio si sente bene.
    Insomma… soldi spesi davvero bene

    Vorab: Ich wollte ANC-Kopfhrer, um die Umgebung so gut wie mglich auszublenden. Mein Fokus lag nicht auf satten Bssen oder besonders guter Soundqualitt beim Musikhren.

    Die Geruschunterdrckung ist wirklich beeindruckend. Hat man die richtigen Aufstze fr die In-Ears gewhlt und setzt sie richtig in den Gehrgang, kommt so gut wie nichts mehr durch (getestet im Lehrerzimmer whrend der Pause). Die Bluetooth-Verbindung zum Handy klappt hervorragend, die Kopfhrer werden schnell und unkompliziert erkannt (die Panasonic-App ist dazu allerdings ntig; mithilfe dieser lassen sich aber sogar Kleinigkeiten wie das blaue Blinken der In-Ears abstellen, sollte einen das nerven).

    Die Kopfhrer lassen sich mit Berhrungen steuern (2mal und 3mal tippen, sowohl links als auch rechts = 4 verschiedene Steuermglichkeiten + gedrckthalten auf dem rechten Kopfhrer, um zwischen ANC, Umgebungsgeruschen und “Aus” zu wechseln).

    Beim Einsetzen in die Hlle schalten die Kopfhrer sofort in den Lademodus (sie sind also aus). Die Hlle schtzt zuverlssig und enthlt den USB-C-Port zum Laden (das muss man vor dem ersten Einsatz machen, sowohl Hlle als auch Hrer mssen vollstndig geladen werden).

    Fr mich habe ich mit diesen Hrern genau das richtige Produkt gekauft. Im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz sind sie unschlagbar gnstig. Ich habe sie schon ein paar mal weiterempfohlen.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersHad these for a few weeks and have tried them out on busy trains and planes. Had to write a review, to counter some of the nonsense ‘most helpful’ ones I read on here. I also read the what hi-fi mag good review, which is more accurate and, presumably, objective. Noise cancelling is p good for in-ears , esp at this price, and it is useful to be be able to switch to an ‘ambient sound’ mode, which lets in more sound using the external mic, than you would hear with something stuck in your ears! Work even better with the Comply foam tips model mentioned above, although they aren’t cheap.
    As for the video posted by someone struggling to fit the buds in the charging case, that is pretty laughable. Do you think a company like Panasonic would design, develop, manufacture and release a product where the components didn’t fit together easily? Of course they easily fit in the charging case, unless you want to make a video trying not to fit them in!
    As for the negative review about colour and texture. Yes the white is an off white colour, not as the picture, and it has a matt texture. But that is more tactile and less obtrusive when wearing than bright white airpod type, most people’s ears are not bright white.
    I think these would also be fine for sports use, I haven’t tried them but they are not overly heavy or bulky and have not fallen out once in normal use.
    RECOMMENDED!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI bought these to use in the winter rather than risk my better headphones getting wet when walking etc. I agree with another reviewer regarding the amount of paper you get in the Box !!! it’s 2021 and it’s a sheer waste. But you buy them for the sound really, so here’s my review.
    it’s good that they come with a set of 5 earbuds, you can find a set that fit you easily. Comfort wise they are on the larger size but haven’t had any discomfort from wearing them for lengthy periods. Pairing and charging is really simple and the charge in the units and through the case is quoted as 19.5 hours which seems reasonable. Sound wise they are very good, bass is solid and warm and mid and treble is sharp. Stereo is good and you get a sense of depth from some recordings, noise cancellation is adequate (not great but enough). Overall I’m pleased and I think for 100 they are hard to beat. Tried them with FLAC and DSD recordings and they are even better than through my Iphone. Overall I’d say well worth the money, but larger than they appear on picture. You’d have to pay a lot more to get a better produc

    Let me start by saying I’m no expert. In fact these are my first wireless in/ear buds. I was worried I wouldn’t get the right fit for my ears but you get five different sizes to get the right fit. They don’t fall out either and I’ve worn them when mowing and gardening. Music is clear and it stays connected. Charging is easy. Reasonably priced for the quality.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersInitially, I tried the Sony MX3 but found it tinny. I read reviews of the Panasonic earbuds. The sound quality and noise cancellation are excellent when you size the earbuds correctly to isolate ambient sound. Once I switched to XL silicone buds the Panasonic’s feel and sound absolutely superb. Great tonal range, good bass. Detailed and precise sounding. Good EQ app.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersWhile the sound quality and noise cancellation is really good the issue is that the buds keep falling off. It has a round Deisgn hence doesn’t fit well irrespective of the side of the pads you usehaving to go back to my old one now

    Aanvankelijk lastig te verbinden. Maar nadat dit gelukt is valt hij nooit meer weg en verbind hij direct. Mooie geluidskwaliteit en fijn is ook de equalizer met verschillende geluidsinstellingen. Ook noice canchelling werkt zodanig dat het weinig meer doorlaat. Last but not least even experimenteren welk dopje het fijnste is en daarna draait hij makkelijk in je ooren zit hij muurvast. Hij draagt ook prettig.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersBought these for a trip to use noise cancelling on plane. Works very well , only thing I have to compare is a set of high grade German noise cancelling headphones, they are not as good as them obviously but were very good . Sound quality is a good 7 out of ten and battery life is 9 out of ten so overall for the price a great buy

    Im direkten Vergleich mit dem “Apfel” Produkt macht das Anc einen meiner Meinung nach gleichguten Job.
    Angenehm zu tragen und ein toller Klang.
    Die zu leistende Lautstrke ist vllig ausreichend.
    Mindestens 40 Meter Abstand zum Handy bis die Bluetooth Verbindung unsicher wird.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersQuesti auricolari presentano innovazione e alcuni tratti peculiari. Se queste caratteristiche sono adatte a voi, allora vi ritroverete certamente soddisfatti dell’acquisto.
    In primis la loro forma e la loro dimensione molto caratteristica : sono tondeggianti e abbastanza pesanti, ma grazie ai gommini di 4 dimensioni diverse si adattano probabilmente ad ogni tipo di orecchio. A volte possono scivolare, ma non mi mai capitato che scivolassero improvvisamente, bens si sente sempre in anticipo quando perdono grip, dando il tempo di sistemarli. Il peso non un problema poich sono costruiti in modo che questo sia quasi tutto all’esterno dell’orecchio, in modo da non dare fastidio.
    La qualit del suono buona, la cancellazione del rumore eccellente e il rumore ambientale se attivo un grande alleato quando passeggiate per strada. Sotto il punto di vista della qualit non ho dubbi nel dire che un prodotto di tutto rispetto.
    L’applicazione collegata semplice ma funzionale, consente di impostare le gestures che sono comodissime e precise. C’ la possibilit di collegare il vostro Alexa oppure lasciare l’assistente vocale di base. I microfoni non sono eccezionali ma buoni e non danno problemi.
    L’unica nota abbastanza dolente la durata della batteria. Personalmente non raggiunge quella dichiarata nelle specifiche e questo mi ha un po’ deluso, anche se non un problema che ne impedisce l’utilizzo poich alcune ore di autonomia sono comunque garantite.
    L’accoppiamento immediato se va a buon fine, anche se qualche volta non riesce ad accoppiarsi al dispositivo obbligando ad inserire e rimuovere le cuffie dalla custodia.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersGreat sound quality and noise cancellation. A real great purchase I did not regret it and I am more than satisfied. So many controlling options by only touching each ear, Far more than Huawei ear pods at least cause these are the only other ones I tried. When I’m commuting I don’t hear anything. Working from home is so easy cause I can isolate myself just by using them. Im so so so glad I got them. The very first day I got them, the left one fell from my ear down into a bowl of water while washing the dishes, nothing happened and the sound quality did not change. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be water resistant but it sure survived that incident.

    Golden Review Award: 38 From Our UsersThese have great sound and ANC. They are a good deal larger in real life than they look in the product images, people will certainly notice that you’re wearing ear buds. If you’re buying them solely for commuting etc I’d give these: because the noise cancelling and sound is outstanding.

    However I also like to use headphones at the gym and running. Exercises with little movement, benching, slow tempo barbell squats and DB presses etc were not an issue. As soon as you start doing anything more dynamic or explosive e.g. KB swings or running etc. due to the earbuds size and lack of any kind of ear locking feature, these unfortunately fell out of my ears a lot.

    If you go to adjust them to when you feel them starting to slip chances are you’ll hit the touch sensors on the edge of the earphones which will pause your music. From a gym user/runners perspective I’d give these:

    In the end having the buds slip whilst training got quite annoying for me and so I opted to return mine.

    Overall I’d give these avoid if you’re a runner or someone who trains explosively.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersThey came the next day and was kept up to date of the delivery time which was handy as I had to pop out. The product is very easy to set up just download app, and the rest is done automatically. It comes with 5 packets of different pvc buds so you get a very comfortable secure fit which stays whilst exercising that is on a bike mind. Sound is really good and controls on ear buds easy to use, plus you got Alexa and Google so you can change artists and make phone calls all in all very good value for money.

    I am absolutely satisfied. The Bluetooth Connection is very stable, the sound quality is great and the product is manifactured neatly without sharp borders or any imperfections. It takes a while to find out which of the headphone buds provide the perfect fit but after a while it comes out perfect.

    There is only one small remark – the noise cancelling in harsh wind provides an annoying buzzing sound. But its not a problem if you are wearing hat or so

    I am happy with my purchase

    Also, eines vorweg: ein kabelloser Kopfhrer kann NIEMALS gegen einen kabelgebundenen gleicher Preisklasse gewinnen, ok ?
    Ist technisch einfach nicht drin.

    Somit musste dieser Kopfhrer also gegen ein FiiO F9 Pro – 3 Wege Premiummit OKCSC 8 Core MMCX Kabel antreten. Das ganze an einem Samsung Galaxy S10.

    Und, ja klar, er kommt nicht zu 100% an diese Kmbination heran. Aber, man eyh, verdammt nah dran – und gut. Ehrlich.

    Zu den Details:
    Mitten, ein Gitarrensolo einer akkutischen Gitarre z.B.: kein Unterschied.
    Und Bass, kann er auch. Oh ja. 🙂
    Einzig im sehr feinen Hochtonbereich kann er dann nicht mehr mithalten. Ein (klanglich sehr gut) aufgenommenes weibliches Gesangssolo zeigt dann klar die Grenzen.
    Aber, halt ach nur wenn es sich Jemand beim abmischen richtig Mhe gegeben hat. Alles andere – kann er auch.

    Und die Geruschunterdrckung ?
    Wie die groen, Bose & Co. Echt genauso.

    FAZIT:
    Ich habe ber die Jahre immer wieder kabellose Kopfhrer probiert. Kabel nerven dann doch immer wieder. Aber, keiner hat es bis jetzt geschafft.
    DEN hier – behalte ich.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersNachdem ich jetzt mal einige Stunden reingehrt habe, muss ich sagen dass ich etwas enttuscht bin, die Mitten und Hhen sind gut auflsend, einzig und allein der Bass ist absolut inakzeptabel im Vergleich. Der Bass klingt blechern und dumpf bzw. flach, damit meine ich dass z.B der Bass nicht knackig auf den Punkt rberkommt sondern eher flach und schwer lokalisierbar daherschwingt. Zudem hat man den Eindruck der Bass hngt als nervige Grundtonalitt als stndiger Begleiter ber der Musik. Habe dafr FLAC Material benutzt, aber evtl. ist es auch ein Produktfehler dieses Exemplars? Mich wundert es nur dass bei guten Magazin und Online Tests nur so ein schwacher Bass vorhanden ist. Evtl. bin ich aber schon etwas zu verwhnt da ich sonst nur mit dem Sennheiser 800HD als Vergleich hre.
    Von der Software her kann ich es noch nicht beurteilen, jedoch funktioniert das pairing problemlos, die Ladebox ist sehr schick und die Verarbeitung macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Muss noch ausprobieren ob man ANC ausschalten kann bzw. ob es noch andere Modi gibt und werde evtl. spter hier nochmal berichten.
