Panasonic RP-HT21-M [mic/remote] Lightweight On-Ears for $8

An old has been resurrected because of the mic/button technology! And it’s currently on sale at Amazon. It is the mic/single-button version of the good old lightweight on-ear Panasonic RP-HT21, with an “M” appended to its name for the Mic/Remote, currently on sale for $8 at Amazon by Amazon actual with up to four per customer at the sale price.

According to Amazon’s product page, I bought the old non-mic/remote version of this about ten years ago. A blast from the past type of a featherweight headphone!

Panasonic RP-HTX80 Closed Over-Ears for $41 [limit 3]

If you are looking for name-brand retro-styled bluetooth over-ears headphone without breaking the bank, and the “matte black” color scheme is preferred or at least acceptable, you can get the new condition Panasonic RP-HXT80 headphones for $41~ by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer at the sale price. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time is unknown…

This is a closed-back over-ear model with bluetooth 4.1 but without NFC. The retro design may be a deal killer for some ~ if you don’t like that style of “outdoorsy” headband adjustments. It does not support apt-X or AAC so keep that in mind. No ANC and no 3.5mm input. They promise up to 24 hours battery life.

And as fate would have it, we have a text and pictures unboxing of this, posted around Christmas 2017.

OR if you are not afraid of The USED (no, not the band, I’m still afraid of their constant emo-whining), then you can peruse the various color schemes at Amazon Warehouse Deals to find the right color and condition combination where prices start at $30~. The link I posted here shows the lowest price per color. To see the detailed listings for each color, click (or open in new tab/window) the small blue link titled “See all offers for this product”…

Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight On-Ears for $4.40 [limit 3]

If you are looking for a lightweight old-school design (think Sony Walkman cassette and CD player era) that is open-back, they are back on sale. The good old Panasonic RP-HT21 have stood the test of time and they are on sale again, in new condition, for $4.40 per pair, with a maximum of three per customer at the sale price by Amazon actual. They are however an Add-ON item, so you must place an order of $25+ in eligible/qualifying products, otherwise their shopping cart will simply refuse to let you buy them.

PS: they are on the same listing as a different model, so make sure you are looking at the correct customer reviews. I don’t know why Amazon or the manufacturers do this, it’s very annoying when you hav two different products on the same listing. It’s one thing to have different colors or at least different variants of the same product, but totally different products is, as Spock would say, iLLOGICAL!
