The Panasonic RPHC200K are plasicky and cheap-looking noise-cancelling headphones. They're comfortable, won't leak too much and sound decent. However, they severely lack in bass and their poor noise isolation may also cause ambient noise from loud environments to ruin your listening experience.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

RPHC200K are cheap-looking and flimsy everyday headphones, that sound moderately good and won't leak too much sound. However, they don't isolate well enough for all environments.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable design.
  • Leaks little sound.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation.
  • Weak build quality.
  • Severely lacking bass.
0.0
Critical Listening 

Average critical listening experience. They have a skewed bass-lacking audio reproduction and a poor soundstage.

0.0
Commute/Travel 

Not suitable for commuting. The noise canceling is weak and struggles in loud environments.

0.0
Sports/Fitness 

Below-average for sports. They're lightweight and decently stable but lack good audio controls and the stereo audio cable is a bit cumbersome.

0.0
Office 

Mediocre for office use. They don't leak too much but poorly isolate listeners from the ambient noise of a busy office.

0.0
Home Theater 

Average for home theater use. They're comfortable, and they're wired so they have no latency. However, their audio cable is short so they won't the ideal headphones for a home theater set up.
