The model range of the Panasonic H series includes inexpensive over-ear headphones of a predominantly closed type with minimal functionality. Say, here's a box for you, here's a cable, connect and welcome to the Internet. Admittedly, against the background of endless TWS models, backlit gaming headsets and hi-tech gadgets for geeks-audiophiles, Panasonic H headphones look like an Amish family accidentally got to the high-tech exhibition CES.


It is not surprising that the bestseller in this line is the Panasonic RP-HTF295 model, which was released so long ago that Google does not even remember it. This is a fully enclosed overhead type model that provides good passive noise isolation and sounds several times more expensive at the headphone level. And this is not surprising, because at one time Panasonic recorded them in the category of monitor, but at some point turned off the path, sending them to the mass market. In 2021, they ask only $25 for them, and this is a gift. The only negative is a five—meter cable. However, for the rest of the H family, cables most often have a standard length of 1.2 metres.

Given the specifics of the series, Panasonic is not chasing constant updates, releasing new items almost every five years. In 2016-2017, several modern models in youth colours and Bluetooth connection were released. And in 2019, the family was replenished with an unusual model RP-HTX90N. These are modern headphones in all respects, which combine current technologies like active noise reduction with a retrospective design and thoroughbred sound. After all, they are equipped with a neodymium magnet and are capable of voicing a spectrum from 8 to 25000 Hz.
