PANASONIC LAUNCHES PREMIUM IN-EAR HEADPHONES
Acoustic Precision Control Delivers High-Fidelity Sound
Las Vegas, NV (January 7, 2009) – Demonstrating its commitment to playing a leading role in the 
development of quality performance headphones, Panasonic today announced the debut of the RP-HJE700 High-Fidelity In-Ear Headphones. Featuring Acoustic Precision Control, these new premium in-ear headphones are designed to provide optimum sound and comfort.
Acoustic Precision Control employs a triple virtual speaker system which uses three tuning gates to deliver fine tuning and rich bass response. The speakers are engineered with special ribbing on the driver cones to provide rigidity for purer sound and less resonance. The limb-mounted diaphragm enhances the cavity capacity to deliver a wider dynamic range.
Combining technology with style, the RP-HJE700 High-Fidelity In-Ear Headphones are made with solid aluminum housing and feature neodymium magnet for rich and powerful sound. They boast an impressive frequency response of 6Hz-26kHz for realistic sound with precision highs and rich low end, sensitivity of 106dB, impedance of 16Ω, and 12.5mm drivers.
The new RP-HJE700 High-Fidelity In-Ear Headphones come in black or silver and feature a cord slider to prevent tangling. They are scheduled for availability in May 2009 with a suggested retail price of $129.99.
