Panasonic RZ-S500W Earbuds Review: Better late than never

Panasonic has come up with its first pair of true wireless earbuds, the RZ-S500W, complete with noise cancellation and more than 6 hours of listening time.

Panasonic RZ-S500W Review

Strong noise cancellation for the price ; Powerful bass ; Delicate treble

Can use more high-frequency presence ; Modest IP rating ; Overly sensitive touch sensor
