With the RP-HD610N, Panasonic continues to make its mark in the noise-cancelling headphones market. On the outside, these elegant, matt black, all plastic, closed over-ear headphones with leatherette padding are reminiscent of their competitor from Bose.

I bought these a fortnight ago as a replacement for my 2012 Sony DR-BTN200 which are on ear & non-noise cancelling but still comfortable. Around 70% time listening to audiobooks or podcasts and 25% Google Play Music high quality downloaded music. I paid about the same for the Panasonic RP-HD610N as I did in 2013 for the Sony headphones. I find the RP-HD610N a major step up in sound quality and more comfortable, despite it being heaver.

These were great Hi-Res headphones, however unfortunately I didn't get to listen to many hours of wireless as these had charging problems on arrival, leading to a limited time using them with wireless connectivity. Via wired connection these were quite good albiet a bit too tight on my head. Pros - Awesome wired sound Cons - DOA unit, had to return - Bit tight for those with bigger house. Replaced with HD560s's after I realized how much I loved Hi-Res. Sennheiser HD560's are 5/5

Superb sound quality, average Bluetooth range, connection with iPhone can be fiddly, but overall a great set of headphones for the price. As always, best price and service at PB’s.

Great comfort. I do find the control placement on the ear piece a bit difficult press with big fingers. I already had one and bought a new one for my daughter-in-law.

Really comfortable, amazing sound quality, the noise cancelling is effective, and I like the included carry case. I was also impressed with the efficiency of PB Tech's contactless click & collect during Level 3.
