Panasonic has announced a few new headphones which are all due out sometime in June. There isn't much info available on this trio of in-ear headphones, but we do have pictures.

The first set you might have heard about already: the RP-HJE900   headphones. These cans' claim to fame is their cubic zirconia guts, which should help to reduce distortion. A more minor cool factor is inherent in the ear buds' ability to detach from the cable. They also have a pretty wide frequency response, 6Hz to 28KHz. We definitely look forward to getting these in our lab, hopefully a little before their June 15th release date.
The second set of headphones are a bit less interesting. The RP-HC55 and the RP-HC31 headphones are both due out June 20th, and all we really have on them are specs and a few PR shots. The RP-HC55 should cover the 10Hz-20kHz range, with a sensitivity of 105dB, while the RP-HC31 will manage 8Hz-20kHz, with a sensitivity of 100dB. There's no pricing info on these just yet, but they do appear to have gigantic control pendants.
