The Panasonic RP-HC100 Noise Canceling Headphones are designed to reduce ambient noise in your environment so that you get higher quality sound from your audio devices. They’re ideal for travelers whose audio must compete with airplane engines, commuter train noises and street noise. They’re a lightweight, portable and powerful solution that delivers high quality sound. The noise canceling function is powered by a single AAA battery that will power the unit for up to 50 hours. When sound quality deteriorates or when the indicator light dims, the battery should be changed. To change the battery in your Panasonic RP-HC100 headphones, follow the steps below.
