Sennheiser branches out with specially designed Earphones for the iPhone
When it comes to accessories, it seems as though the iPod series and iPhone continually get the most attention and receive the largest selection. Some companies create speaker docks that can only be used with the device, while others create iPod specific cases and still others create iPod or iPhone specific headphones. Few portable audio products are popular enough to warrant a dedicated line of headphones designed purely for use with them. But nonetheless it appears as though the headphone giants from Sennheiser have done exactly this with their MM50 iP model. Sennheiser is typically known for their high performance and giant headphones, but the MM40 iP is actually a set of lightweight earphones; though this vast change in design does not at all entail an equally vast change in performance.
The headphones come with most of the standard features expected by anything above the most basic entry level models; including quality bass, sufficient outside noise cancelling, and high dynamics. As the device is also designed especially for the iPhone, not only the iPod, it functions as a headset as well, with an integrated microphone and a button for receiving or ending calls. At a price of only £50, this pair of earphones finds itself among the lowest price range for Sennheiser’s typically much more expensive product assortment. At any rate, iPhone owners can definitely be pleased by another quality addition from a trusted manufacturer to their already huge selection of accessories.
The Sennheiser PXC 450 – Headphones with a Talk Through Function
What makes a quality pair of headphones? They should be comfortable, offer quality sound and minimise outside noise as much as possible. This has always been a major challenge for manufacturers.
With the PXC 450, the immaculate sound is accomplished by using an adaptive sound wall cushioning effect together with the patented Duofol membranes. That way unwanted partial vibrations are prevented and a great sound experience is guaranteed.
The NoiseGard noise compensation was originally used by airplane pilots, who require a high quality and distortion free sound in a very loud environment. The technology was developed by Sennheiser and now makes an appearance in the PXC 450. Loud noises are cancelled out based on the physical principal of sound waves being presented with opposing sound waves.
The TalkThrough function is also incredibly practical. So that you don’t always have to take off the headphones every time you want to talk to someone, all the acoustic signals outside of the headphones can be turned on. Then the high value microphone filters out the majority of the disruptive environmental noises, so that you can only hear the voice of your conversation partner.
The PXC 450 can be folded together and is delivered complete with a practical transport case, 2 AAA batteries and audio adapters.
