Retro Piano Painted Headphones from Panasonic

Filed under: Gadgets

Earphones are getting smaller and less obtrusive by the minute, sometimes at the expense of sound quality and comfort. The Panasonic RP-HTX7 Retro Piano Painted Headphones are the complete opposite. They are large, comfortable and some in eye-catching colors that go well with their vintage look. The sound quality is excellent, with clear definition of the notes and a powerful base. The cord is 1.2 meters long, so it will provide a wide range of motion with portable and stationary players, but a 2 meter extension cord is included for addition range. Price: $60.

Bose QuietComfort 3 Headphones

Filed under: Gadgets

Luxury means not having to hear other people talk, unless you actually want to and Bose's new QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones are the perfect way to do just that. They offer full-spectrum noise reduction, along with Bose's usual commitment to quality and performance, very much like their older models. Unlike those models, however, the QuietComfort 3 has a much smaller, sleeker headset design. In fact, they are nearly half the size of the QuietComfort 2! 

This also means that, since I have the QC2, the QC3 users might be talking about the size of my headphones behind my back - and not in a good way. Fortunately, the Bose headphones work so well that I won't be able to hear them.

If you want to upgrade your pair, the new headphones are $349.
