Panasonic's RP-HTX7 retro-style headphones deliver well-rounded sound at a sweet price.Retro-styled headphones are all the rage these days. Just check out your local hipster fashion locale such as Urban Outfitters, where you'll find youth-oriented brands like WESC and Urban Ears offering old-school looking cans by the truckload. And with prices ranging anywhere from $30 to $70, consumers can afford more than one pair. Apparently that hipness factor isn't lost on traditional consumer electronics companies, either: Panasonic offers its own set of low-priced retro cans, the RP-HTX7 Monitor headphones. While they carry an MSRP of around $70, they can be found from many retailers for a lot less, usually around $30. Unlike many of the competitors they'll share shelf space with, they also have the pedigree of an established consumer electronics brand. Do they sound as good as they look? We put them to the test. Panasonic's RP-HTX7 came in an easy-to-open, clear plastic display box with graphic cardboard inserts; no scissors or garden shears are required for getting to these cans. Once we pulled out the headphones, we were impressed with their smooth ‘n glossy, lime-green earcups, well-cushioned ear pads, and overall durable design.
Panasonic probably isn't one of the brands you associate with value electronics, but when it comes to headphones, the company has shown that it has several models that deliver excellent bang for the buck, including the Panasonic RP-HTX7 monitor headphones reviewed here. These guys have been around for a few years (I'm sorry I didn't review them sooner) and can be had for anywhere from $30 to $50 online. They come in several different colors and are distinguished by their self-proclaimed "retro styling." That styling may not appeal to some people, but I thought they looked pretty good and more importantly, they fit comfortably, are relatively lightweight for over-the-ear headphones, and they created a tight seal -- not only did they passively block out a lot of sound, but they don't leak any sound, making them suitable for cubicle use at work. True to their "monitor" roots, they have a single, fairly thick 3.9-foot cord and somewhat reinforced straight plug. The cord isn't as thick as the unwieldy one on the Audio-Technica ATH-M30, another excellent budget monitor headphone.
Panasonic isn't really a specialist in portable audio equipment. We've even spotted the HTX7 in the product catalogue of Fostex, a manufacturer best known for making generic speakers and audio equipment for big-name brands. That said, the Panasonic in-ear headphones we tested were far from disastrous, and we've already seen that audio specialists like Sennheiser are more than capable of getting things wrong ... The HTX7 headphones have a retro design. The shape, material and colours all have a throw-back air to them, and from the lacquered plastic to the bare metal bars for adjusting the fit, the HTX7 tick all the boxes of old-school design. Whether you love it or you hate it, you have to hand it to Panasonic for making such a full-on style statement. The headphones are comfortable to wear and the full earpads (circum-aural) cover your ears entirely, making them less tiring to wear than supra-aural models, particularly for long periods of time. However, they may not be the best choice for users with larger ears. The problem with the HTX7 is that they're big. They're too big for use out and about really, and as they can't be folded up, they'll take up a fair bit of room in your bag. Strangely though, the cable length clearly confirms that these headphones aren't designed for use at home with your hi-fi!
