• Panasonic Launches the "RB-C10" Ear-Cuff-Style Truly Wireless Earbuds!

  

  2026/07/01

  Panasonic is releasing the "RB-C10," a pair of ear-cuff-style truly wireless earbuds. Designed around the concept of "adorn yourself beautifully with sound," they feature an elegant, pearl-like luster that adds a touch of glamour to your look. Stylish enough to be worn like an accessory, they blend fashion with function.
  As an open-ear (ear-cuff-style) design that doesn't block the ear canal, they offer a pressure-free fit and allow you to naturally hear your surroundings, making open-ear listening comfortable. Despite the open design, they deliver direct, high-quality sound thanks to their large-diameter 11 mm drivers. They also come equipped with Sound Leakage Reduction Mode to minimize sound leakage and an ENC microphone that ensures clear conversations even in noisy environments.
  With a long battery life of up to 26 hours and support for multipoint connectivity (connecting to two devices simultaneously), these earbuds are designed to beautifully complement your lifestyle, whether you're in casual or business settings.

• Review of the PLAYTECH "Antlia Talkbox" by professional keyboardist Gakushi now available!

  

  2026/06/26

  Professional keyboardist Gakushi is active across a wide range of projects, having participated in live performances and arrangements for numerous artists—including AI, EXO-CBX, Takuya Kimura, Toshinobu Kubota, Daichi Miura, and ONE OK ROCK—and recently forming the funk band "Funk-saurus" with Shikao Suga. We have just released his review of the PLAYTECH "Antlia Talkbox"!
  
  In the review, he highly praises the product, noting:
  -----------------------------------
  "It is a highly attractive product not only for those looking to get started with a talkbox but also for keyboardists who want an easy way to incorporate a talkbox into their live performances.
  Despite its low price, it delivers more than enough sound pressure and articulation, and the convenience of its built-in amplifier is a major selling point."
  -----------------------------------
  The review also features demo videos—"Mellow Tone" and "Funky Tone"—created using a Yamaha DX100!
  This is a must-see for anyone considering adding a talkbox to their setup.
