Panasonic Eneloop works fine to me with my KX3.

I would just add that in my experience, the standard Eneloops (white, 2000
mAh)  are more suitable for the KX3 than the Eneloop Pro (black, 2500 mAh).
The larger capacity Pro cells seem to have a higher internal resistance
which results in a much larger voltage sag on higher current draws, e.g.
transmit. This becomes even more apparent as the cell ages.

Another happy eneloop ( white ) user.  Mine are two years old and still perform great.   Very low self discharge.

Whatever you get, make sure you buy "pre-charged" batteries.

Standard NiMH can be dead after sitting for a few days.
Low-self-discharge cells will hold their charge for a year.
"Pre-charged" cells are the same.
