13 headsets built especially for multimedia mobile devices
LAS VEGAS - January 7, 2011: As more and more music lovers rely on their mobile devices to listen to music and chat with family and friends, Sennheiser has developed several headsets built especially for use with multimedia devices. During the last two years, Sennheiser launched eight new headsets for the iPhone, the iPad and other Apple products*. Now the audio specialist is announcing its latest addition to the range – the CX 980i hi-fi ear canal headset. Sennheiser also recently expanded its line of full-size, Bluetooth® wireless headsets with the MM 550 TRAVEL, which was selected in October as the official travel headset of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.
Made for iPhone
The headset versions of successful headphone models from Sennheiser’s ‘Portable Entertainment’ series combine top-quality sound with a convenient hands-free system. The microphone and control unit are integrated into the cable and allow the Apple product to be controlled at the push of a button or by voice commands.
“The headsets complement the design and user-friendliness of the iPhone and other supported Apple products with top-quality sound from Sennheiser and intuitive useful communication functions,” explained Ivan Kuan, senior product manager of consumer electronics at Sennheiser. The nine versions for the iPhone can be recognized by the additional ‘i’ in the audio specialist’s product name: the models CX 980i, IE 8i, MM 80i TRAVEL, MM 70i, CX 880i, PX 100-IIi, PX 200-IIi, HD 218i and HD 238i are the ideal choice for all those who want to enjoy music in the best quality on their iPhone or iPod.
A wide range of functions can be controlled with a single button. Depending on how often and how long the button is pressed, music tracks and videos can be played, paused or skipped to the next/previous song. The same button can also be used to receive and end phone calls and to activate the voice control function. This Apple function makes it possible to use voice commands to retrieve a song and respectively a telephone number on the latest iPod touch version and the iPhone 4. The volume is conveniently controlled by a plus and minus button.
