Sennheiser introduces a new addition to its new class of wireless headphones. The PX 210 BT portable mini headphone is equipped with Bluetooth® and new apt-X® coding technology for flawless sound that’s free of interference and wires.
“Music and speech are reproduced in excellent quality, while still allowing you complete freedom of movement,” said Maurice Quarré, head of product management for consumer electronics at Sennheiser.
The PX 210 BT has a transmission range of up to 33 feet, which means your audio source can be stored in a backpack or bag when you’re out and about. Convenient audio controls are located directly on the earpiece. They can be used to activate or deactivate the Bluetooth function, regulate the volume and navigate a playlist. The rechargeable lithium polymer battery provides up to 12 hours of non-stop listening enjoyment before it needs recharging.
No cables and no loss of sound quality Listening to music is even more fun when you’re not restricted by cables. The PX 210 BT has powerful neodymium magnets that ensure a natural and lifelike sound image with a frequency response of 15 to 22,000 Hertz. Sennheiser’s patented Duofol™ diaphragms almost entirely eliminate standing waves to reproduce brilliant highs and fast, tight low end with impeccable clarity.
The apt-X coding technology for compressing audio data was originally developed for use in the professional audio and broadcasting sectors. Sennheiser is one of the first manufacturers to incorporate this technology into consumer headphones.
“Sennheiser makes no compromises when it comes to the sound quality of its wireless headphones,” said Stephen Wray, vice president of licensing at apt-X. “The use of apt-X means that Sennheiser customers can now enjoy what we call ‘audiophile Bluetooth stereo.’”
The PXC 210 BT can be connected to all Bluetooth-compatible audio sources (listen-only). Sennheiser Bluetooth dongles (sold separately) ensure compatibility with devices that do not support apt-X technology, or that lack Bluetooth audio altogether.
Comfortable on the move! The PX 210 BT not only looks great, it’s also extremely comfortable: with a weight of just under four ounces and small, soft ear cushions, it fits comfortably on the ears. A handy folding mechanism and the included carrying case make it an ideal traveling companion.
The PX 210 BT is available now. The set includes a lithium polymer rechargeable battery, a battery charger with adapters for use in different countries, and an audio cable for traditional listening.
MSRP: $299.95
