Panasonic is pleased to announce the launch of its HX40 slim lightweight headphones, HX40. Available from December 2010 in six colours: Black, Blue, Green, White, Black with Pink trim and White with Pink trim. Headphones are not only a listening device, but also a fashion statement and with the HX40 series, both needs are fulfilled due to the models attractive appearance and superb sound quality.

Simple and slick design
The appearance of HX40 is outstanding. The minimal design with coloured accent ring makes the model look perfect with the latest portable digital audio players and also the perfect choice for use with iPod / iPhone products.

Hybrid Diaphragm for superb sound
A compact speaker housing tends to result in narrow sound frequency range. To create compact headphones without sacrificing the sound quality, Panasonic has adapted a unique Hybrid Diaphragm. The speaker diaphragm (moving part) is made from soft material (PU) on its rim part, and hard material (PET) on its inner part.
The combination of PUs smooth movement and PETs rigid sound vibration results in wide frequency range without distortion.
Easy carrying Flat Fold Design
The swivel mechanism found at the connection of the housing and the headband, make it possible for the headphones to be folded completely flat, allowing it to be stored in baggage with minimal space.
