The Panasonic RP-HG30 is a neck band headphone part of the Panasonic Neck Band HG series. The RP-HG30 competes directly with its predecessor, the two-way RP-HG20. The HG30 offers additional features such as water resistance and a travel-fold design. In addition, the RP-HG30 also includes an XBS extra bass system and a gold plated plug. The RP-HG30, however, doesn’t include the RP-HG20’s revolutionary two-way system, nor does it feature its single side monitoring and lengthy 6.6 ft. cord. Priced at only $14.95, a $5 savings from the $19.95 RP-HG20, the Panasonic RP-HG30 is cited as a decent, multi-functional, and affordable neck band headphone worthy of consumers seeking a powerful headphone usable for activities such as jogging and running.
