Score: 68/100
Picun B8
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Picun B8 is a budget over-ear Bluetooth headphone notable for its massive 120-hour battery life and lightweight, foldable design. Its trade-offs include lack of noise isolation and only average sound quality, making it best suited for quiet environments and budget-conscious users.
The Panasonic RP-HT161M is a lightweight wired over-ear headphone featuring a 30 mm dual-driver setup and an extra-bass system for punchy low-end. It lacks wireless connectivity and an inline volume control, limiting convenience. Best suited for budget-conscious listeners seeking comfortable, bass-enhanced wired audio.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the RP-HT21 for its solid construction, comfortable ergonomics, and surprisingly punchy bass given its price, noting it delivers comparable sound quality to more expensive models. However, they criticize the lack of an inline volume control, the overly long cable, and the fact that the open-air design limits noise isolation, making it a solid budget choice but not a high-fidelity solution.
Everyday users appreciate the headphone's lightweight feel, comfortable fit, and strong bass for the price, often highlighting its value for casual listening and calls. Common complaints focus on the missing inline volume knob, the long cable length, and the perception that the sound is adequate for everyday use but falls short for audiophile expectations.
“lets in all external sound”
“poor noise isolation (lets in all external sound)”
Professional reviewers commend the Picun B8 for its extraordinary 120-hour battery life, stable Bluetooth 5.3 link and low latency, and comfortable lightweight build, but they note the absence of any noise isolation and only average sound quality, making it a solid budget choice for quiet settings rather than a high-fidelity or ANC-focused option.
Everyday users appreciate the ultra-long playtime, light weight, and included accessories, but repeatedly complain about the lack of noise isolation and the modest sound detail, especially in noisy environments where the open design lets external sounds in.
