Move over Sony, Panasonic’s new headphones look like noise-cancelling winners with incredible battery life
Quick Summary

Panasonic’s new RB-M600 over-ear headphones offer a 65-hour battery life – far exceeding that of its Sony WH-1000XM5 competition – in addition to active noise-cancelling (ANC) and enhanced bass modes (XBS Deep).

If you’re looking for a pair of the best headphones then your options are wide-ranging. Plenty of established players have ruled in this category, but now Panasonic has a new pair to shake up the likes of the Sony WH-1000XM5’s grip on the market. 

One of the Panasonic RB-M600’s headline features is its epic battery life – said to last up to 65 hours per charge, which the company quotes as ample time to fly all the way around the globe in one go. If you’re after a pair of the best travel headphones, the M600 sound like just the ticket. 

Further to that battery-life appeal, the M600 also throw a hat into the ring as some of the best noise-cancelling headphones, offering “hybrid active noise-cancellation” (ANC) with multiple microphones to mitigate feedback. There’s even ‘ENC’ (environmental noise cancellation) to identify surrounding sounds and cut them out for cleaner call quality.

Thanks to up-to-date Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, the M600 are also multi-point capable, meaning you can connect multiple devices wirelessly at any one time, for a seamless pairing experience. Windows Swift Pair and Google Fast Pair ensure speedy mating with your chosen output devices too.
