Title: Disturbing hiss - does not come close to Bose
Product review: I had fair hopes for this product after reading reviews that claimed it to be a "worthy competitor" to the Bose's.No Way! That review which Amazon highlights - is totally misleading.There is a distinctive hiss which is not quite apparent in an airplane but very disturbing in a slightly quieter environment. However, that hiss does fatigue your ears after a while.When travelling Japan to SFO - my co-passenger had a pair of QC2's - we exchanged our units for a while! You can't even compare the NC performance of the two - let alone the sound quality. The Bose is way superior in every way - even comfort level.My RPHC300 pair is headed to ebay.Save your money - go for the other options out there!Probably the first panasonic product to dissapoint me this bad.Incidentally - a leading consumer magazine gave this a rather low rating confirming my experience. Amazon reviews can't always be trusted it seems.
