When it comes to travel essentials, noise-cancelling headphones feature high up on that list.
Panasonic’s latest version, the HD605N headphones, feature three noise-cancelling modes, high-resolution audio and a Bluetooth connection.
You can choose from low, medium or high noise cancelling, so you can adapt it to your surroundings, though personally I’d always lean towards the highest setting possible and use the included ambient sound enhancer when you need to speak to someone while wearing them.
Comfort
The other important consideration is comfort. The Panasonic headphones come with memory foam ear pads and a 3D ball joint structure, so they can adapt to the shape of your head.
Battery life seems impressive too, with 20 hours of playback from a single charge, plus the ability to get two hours of listening from a 15-minute charge.
