Sennheiser has announced a new partnership with Magic Leap that'll bring the audio company's technology to the latter's "spatial sensory experience." In addition to the partnership, Sennheiser says it will be joining the "Works with Magic Leap" certification program, meaning we may see future products from the company designed for the Magic Leap One system.
Sennheiser has launched its first truly wire-free earbuds, with the Momentum True Wireless headphones taking on Apple's AirPods. Revealed at IFA 2018 today, the new earbuds promise not only cordless music and calls but the sort of materials and build quality that we've come to expect from Sennheiser, rather than the plastic-only construction other fully-wireless earbuds have adopted for convenience.
Sennheiser has launched a new wireless microphone designed for cell phones, enabling mobile users to record audio near the source while recording video from a distance. The device, which is small enough to fit in a pocket, can also be used in professional environments to, for example, record interviews or capture commentary. The device supports both the iPhone and Android smartphones.
Sennheiser has launched a new pair of earbuds designed for athletes and frequent gym-goers: the CX SPORT. This model is touted as both ultra-lightweight and resistant to the elements (sweat/splashes), offering an ideal combo for those out jogging or hitting the weights. The CX SPORT are designed to be worn around the neck and have a clip for attaching them to a shirt.
Sennheiser is offering professionals a new set of headphones and headsets that promise a mix of high-end audio and comfort that persists over hours of use. The series, which doesn't launch until August, will include the HMD 300 Pro and single-sided HMD 301 Pro headsets, as well as the HD 300 Pro and HD 300 PROtect monitoring headphones. All models boast enhanced comfort.
Sennheiser has a new gaming headset called the GSP 600. This model builds upon its GAME ZERO model, offering gamers improved audio and a better microphone experience, as well as enhanced durability and better comfort. The model features a modest design, at least as far as gaming headsets go, with an all-black scheme featuring red trim and somewhat angular components.
Open-back headphones have a special place in any audiophile's heart, but sometimes a closed-back pair are more appropriate. Here to fill that need is Sennheiser with its newly unveiled HD 820 closed-back headphones. Sennheiser says its HD 820 are dynamic stereo headphones sporting a glass transducer cover for keeping resonances to a minimum. The model has a circumaural design and is promised to "set a new benchmark" for closed-back headphones.
Earlier this year, Sennheiser introduced a headset that features microphones built into each ear piece. This design enables the headset to record 3D audio that sounds natural to the human ear, a type of recording known as binaural audio. Now, several months later, Sennheiser has announced the shipment of this headset, giving everyone a relatively cheap way to record 3D sound.
Joining its new high-end earbuds, Sennheiser has announced the launch of its HD 660 S, a pair of open-ear dynamic headphones tailored toward the higher end of the listener spectrum. This model, as with the new IE 800 S, doesn't come cheap, but it does match demanding audio needs including studio use or just casual listening.
Sennheiser has made a new pair of earbuds specifically for audiophiles who need high-quality sound in a portable size. The Sennheiser IE 800 S builds upon the company's classic IE 800 model, bringing with it better acoustics including a refined bass. The audio quality is joined by the maker's Comply memory foam ear tips.
Gaming headsets typically come with a certain design flavor: sharp angles, a black foundation color, and bright, bold, highly saturated colored accents. This is fine if that's what you like, but maybe you're looking for something a tad less flashy. That's where Sennheiser's new GSP 301 and GSP 302 gaming headsets come in.
If Sennheiser's new earbuds for audiophiles are too far outside of your budget, the company has a new, cheaper alternative: the CX 7.00BT. These Bluetooth earbuds are designed for everyday listening, according to the company, which went with a neckband design for this model. Among the model's many notable features is the inclusion of NFC for single-touch device pairing.
