Sennheiser Communications is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking wireless stereo series. Featuring advanced Stereo Bluetooth(R) technology, the MM 400 and MM 450 TRAVEL are best-of-breed communications headsets for the demanding global traveler. Designed to work seamlessly with the latest mobile phones and other Bluetooth(R)-enabled devices, they also deliver world-class stereo sound with all types of music - thanks to the mature A2DP profile developed especially for Stereo Bluetooth(R).
As Product Manager Johannes Kaulfuss states: "Bluetooth(R) technology together with the advanced A2DP profile is so mature that great stereo sound is now possible. That means we at Sennheiser Communications have developed and launched probably one of the world's best Stereo Bluetooth(R) headsets."
Enjoy music and clear communications - all on your mobile
Now that modern mobiles offer music in addition to phone functions, you need a headset that lets you listen to music without having to worry about missing a call. That is why the MM 400 Series headsets feature a high-performance invisible microphone that lets you easily take calls at just a simple press of a button.
Listen with Sennheiser-quality sound
The MM 400 and MM 450 TRAVEL feature drivers and technology from Sennheiser's renowned hi-fi headphones line - to reproduce music in superb stereo quality. The invisible microphone and Stereo Bluetooth(R) technologies come from the headset specialists Sennheiser Communications.
Both models deliver clear and balanced music reproduction without the exaggerated bass or muffled vocals of lesser sets. Phone calls are crystal clear at both ends.
Choose wireless or wired - for the best of both worlds
Both Stereo Bluetooth(R) headsets offer total freedom from wires and a convenient wired solution for when wireless transmissions are not allowed, for example on a flight. Wireless or wired, Sennheiser Communications' fully mature Bluetooth(R) 2.1 and A2DP technology deliver excellent stereo sound under any circumstances. If a wireless connection is prohibited, simply plug in the headset using the supplied audio cable and adapters.
Stay friends with your neighbors
The closed-capsule design on the MM 400 Series means you can listen to music in peace, without annoying the people sitting around you. Unlike most in-ear headphones, closed capsules keep your music in and background noise out.
Get used to smart design that's easy to use
The MM 400 Series stands out with its stylish but practical design. Both headsets boast a rugged, "travel-proof" build and are exceptionally easy on the ears - with ultra-soft pads to keep you listening in comfort on even the longest trips. They are also very easy to use, with the intuitive controls all clustered conveniently on the right capsule. The invisible microphone has no protruding boom to get in the way, while the on-capsule volume control saves you scrambling for the volume on your source device.
Carry on listening
Designed with travelers' needs in mind, the MM 400 and MM 450 TRAVEL fold flat and pack away easily in carry-on luggage. To prevent damage in overhead lockers, the headband is metal-reinforced and comes supplied in a molded travel case. An airline adapter is also supplied.
Listen in comfort with NoiseGard(TM) 2.0 (MM 450 TRAVEL only)
NoiseGard(TM) 2.0 electronically removes 90% of unwanted background noise, including the drone and roar of jet engines or the clatter of rails, so you can listen to music and calls at a relaxing volume. This makes the MM 450 TRAVEL ideal for use in planes, trains and other noisy environments. Sennheiser pioneered noise compensation headphones over 20 years ago and the MM 450 TRAVEL benefits from our unparalleled expertise in this technology.
Stop for a chat with TalkThrough (MM 450 TRAVEL only)
With one press on the MM 450 TRAVEL headset, you can use our unique TalkThrough feature to turn on the external microphone and open a voice channel through the NoiseGard(TM) feature. It is ideal if you want to catch an announcement or speak to the flight attendant without ever having to remove the headset.
The MM 450 TRAVEL and the MM 400 will be available in September 2009.
