“I finally figured out one day that most producers don’t have the faintest idea what they’re doing. They simply have the position because of circumstance, or they’ve wormed themselves into it, and it really doesn’t amount to anything!”- Leon Redbone

For Audiophiles, Discerning Listeners and Trend-Setters: A New Earphone Collection From Sennheiser

January 7, 2010 – With its expansive new range of earphones, Sennheiser is taking music on the move to another level. Altogether the 22 new models, designed specifically for use with portable players, offer a first-class audio experience and the Sennheiser quality you have come to expect. Each set of headphones features fashion-forward designs to complement any taste.

High-resolution sound for audiophiles

For music lovers who value outstanding audio quality in a fashionable package, Sennheiser is introducing a collection of three new premium earphones. Their appeal lies in a modern and sophisticated design with high-resolution sound reproduction that delivers a perfect portable music experience. Their elegant look is reinforced with high-quality metal components and an eye-catching finish.

The new earphones for audiophiles come in three different styles: the MX 980 is a classic earphone with a secure fit. The CX 980 ear-canal phone can be adjusted for a custom fit by using different sized ear adapters. Its snug position in the ear canal delivers amazing attenuation of background noise. Using individually adjustable ear clips, the OMX 980 provides a stable, comfortable fit in any situation.

All three models, which have a MSRP between US $259.95 and US $339.95, feature a volume control integrated into the cable. For uninhibited listening enjoyment, the cable can be attached directly to your clothing with a clip matching the design of the earphones. The new earphone jack enables you to connect your earphones to audio sources in either a straight or right-angled configuration. The included in-flight audio adapter offers the same flexibility and never gets in the way when connected to the on-board entertainment system. Delivery includes a pouch for the headphones, cable clip and IFE audio adapter.

Balanced stereo sound for discerning listeners

For those who appreciate balanced stereo sound and dynamic bass, Sennheiser offers four new models with elegant, dynamic designs. These models carry an MSRP of between US $89.95 and US $169.95.

The MX 880 stereo earphones enhance music on the go with powerful bass thanks to a high-performance transducer system. The CX 870 and CX 880 reproduce outstanding sound directly into the ear canal, guaranteeing a perfect fit and exceptional attenuation of ambient sounds. The CX 880 also features a volume control integrated in the cable. The ergonomic OCX 880 features a custom in-the-ear fit via the supplied ear adapters, while flexible ear clips provide additional stability and support.

A compact metal clothing clip offers tangle-free practicality while you listen to your music. The included case is ideal for transporting the earphones and accessories: it even features a practical tool for coiling the cable when on-the-go.

A clear choice for trend-setting music fans

Sennheiser also has something for music lovers who value cutting-edge design, as well as high-quality acoustics. These new earphones, which have an MSRP of between $19.95 and $69.95, have been designed with the mobile generation in mind, and to provide fashion and fun when on the move.

The MX 270, MX 370, MX 470 and the MX 580 are classic earphones that deliver full-range sound with powerful bass thanks to high-performance neodymium magnets. The CX 270 and CX 280 ear canal phones also offer satisfying portable audio experience: the CX 270 features enhanced bass, while the CX 280 provides balanced audio reproduction. The OMX 180 and MXL 570 each score points for being exceptionally comfortable. Flexible ear clips enable the OMX 180 to be individually adjusted to your ears. The MXL 570 comes with a practical lanyard cord, enabling you to remove the earphones without the risk of losing them.

Each of these earphones is also particularly very colorful: four of the models – the CX 271, CX 281, MX 471, MX 581 and OMX 181 – come in a trendy dark red and black palette. Fine gold decorative detailing makes them particularly eye-catching. These earphones, as well as the MX 271 and MX 371, are specifically designed for people with smaller ears, providing truly outstanding audio choices for any music lover.

When the music is so good that it is best shared, the CX 281 and MX 581 are the right choice: both models are bundled with an adapter to connect a second set of earphones for double the fun. Almost all the models come with a carrying pouch, which is large enough to store an MP3 player as well as the earphones and accessories.

The new earphones will be dispatched to Sennheiser distributors in January 2010.
