Paramount Wireless announced today their new brand called iharmonix. This new brand features five new products as a part of two new lines. The main line is called the Platinum Series. This includes three new sets of headphones.
As a part of this series, there is the i-Series headset. This is meant for use with either BlackBerry or iPhone 3G handsets. It comes with hands-free capability and a multi-function button. Also on the docket is the ev-Series headphones. These are meant for the true music lover and feature in-line volume control. The e-Series lacks the in-line controls and is therefore cheaper.
The headphones released are a part of the Style FX Series. These include the i-Series, which works with the BlackBerry and the iPhone 3G and has an in-line mic. The e-Series is meant for other MP3 players and the iPod and offers custom-fit options with three different soft ear gels. You can get all five headphone models now for between $30-$60.

I find it interesting that companies are trying to develop all types of marketing pitches to have us think that we are getting a “custom fit” as described in the last paragraph when the only way to get a custom fit is to take 10 minutes of your time and have impressions of your ears made. I’m not an audiophile but I enjoy my comfort. I purchased iPod attachments from a company called Earsound Customs (www.earsound.com). Now my standard iPod earbuds fit snugly into the attachments which then go into my ears. The comfort is unparalleled. An unintended benefit is that my cell phone’s hands free device also fit into the iPod attachments so I can listen to my conference calls in comfort. This company can make some type of attachment for all makes and models of head phones. Hope this helps.
