Panasonic Launches Its First Truly Wireless Earbuds
Jun. 4, 2020The factor that sets Panasonics’ RZ-S500W apart from the crowd is the presence ofDual Hybrid Noise Cancellation with almost 50 inside/outside noise-canceling levels. Yes, these earbuds come with proper ANC coupled with a wide range of customizability. However, the RZ-S300W lacks ANC.
Panasonic says the earbuds offer MEMS microphones and a Labyrinth structure, aimed to offer superior call quality in noisy environments. You also get an ambient mode to quickly be aware of your surroundings.
Just like most other TWS earbuds out there, these earbuds come with touch controls as well. What’s more, you can summon your favorite voice assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri, or Alexa. You may install the Panasonic Audio Connect app for better controls.
The company claims up to6 hours of music playback with ANC turned onwith the RZ-S500W. Moreover, the overall battery life along with the charging case goes up to 20 hours. The case takes almost 4 hours to completely charge the earphones.
On the other hand, according to the company’s website, the RZ-S300W offers a disappointing 5 hours of playback time despite lacking ANC.
ThePanasonic RZ-S500W will be available in Black and Whitecolor variants, whereas theRZ-S300W will be available in Black, White, and Greencolor variants. The former retails at 169 Euros in Europe while the latter will be available to buy at 109 Euros. AsEngadgetpoints out, RZ-S500W will cost $199 and the RZ-S300W will be priced at $129 once they become available in the US. There’s no word if Panasonic has plans to bring these TWS earbuds to India.
