Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Panasonic RB M700B

  • Powerful, skull-shaking bass facilitated by the unique 'Bass Reactor' vibration feature
  • Exceptionally comfortable for long sessions due to soft, thick memory foam ear cushions and Side Pressure Dispersion Technology
  • Seamless Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with impressive range and the ability to switch between two paired devices
  • Versatile bass adjustment with multiple levels (off, low, medium, high) allowing users to tailor the sound to different genres
  • Effective passive noise isolation provided by the large, plush earcups

What customers don't like about Panasonic RB M700B

  • Weak and ineffective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that often fails to block significant ambient noise
  • ANC implementation can introduce a noticeable background hiss and negatively impact audio quality/distortion
  • Predominantly plastic construction that some users find feels cheap or lacks premium durability
  • Bulky, oversized aesthetic that may not appeal to all users and can feel less secure during movement
  • Lack of high-quality Bluetooth codecs like aptX or LDAC, being limited to SBC and AAC

Verdict

The Panasonic RB-M700B is a specialized wireless over-ear headphone designed for bass enthusiasts, featuring 40mm neodymium drivers, a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, and an impedance of 27 ohms. Its standout characteristic is the integrated 'Bass Reactor' and XBS DEEP technology, which provides a three-level adjustable bass vibration that physically shakes the earcups for a club-like immersion. Key pros include extremely plush memory foam earcups with Side Pressure Dispersion Technology for long-term comfort, a stable Bluetooth 5.0 connection with AAC support, and a quick-charge feature providing 90 minutes of playback from just 15 minutes of USB-C charging. However, notable cons include mediocre active noise cancellation (ANC) that can introduce a faint hiss or distort audio quality when active, and a relatively bulky, non-folding design that lacks a provided carrying case.
