| Sennheiser Unveils Two New Home-Listening Headphone Models (13/1/2005) Two new home-listening headphone models from Sennheiser feature the kind of detailed, dynamic sound that has made the German firm synonymous with hi-fi personal listening for more than 30 years. Sennheiser Electronic Corp., the company's U.S. arm, has introduced the HD 465 and HD 485 models, a pair of over-the-ear Open-Aire headphones that feature outstanding comfort, superb sound, and surprising value. The HD 465 and HD 485 both employ a new evolution of Sennheiser's exceptionally capable and accurate dynamic driver design. Employing high-current aluminum voice-coils, these deliver superb clarity and remarkably wide-range performance: 16-24,000 Hz for the HD 485; 18-21,500Hz from the HD 465. Both models provide impressive dynamic potential, for lifelike reproduction at real-world levels, translating all the impact and excitement of live music to the personal listening experience. Further differentiating the two new Sennheisers is the convenient headphone-holder supplied with the HD 485. Easily attached to a table or shelf, or virtually any horizontal or vertical surface, this gives the HD 485s a safe, convenient "home" when not in use. The HD 465 and HD 485 combine a lightweight design (just 220 grams), ergonomic headband geometry, and large, ultra-soft earpads crafted from high-grade materials to deliver luxurious comfort for even extended listening sessions. Users will find the detachable (and replaceable), snarl-resistant single-sided cords found on both new models to be a welcome feature-and they will find extra peace of mind with Sennheiser's unique two-year warranty. The HD 465 and HD 485 will be available March 2005, at Sennheiser's suggested retail prices of $79.95 and $99.95, respectively. |

| Sennheiser Introduces Ultra Compact Noise Canceling Duo Ergonomic, Lightweight Designs Make Noise-Free Travel & Listening Dramatically More Convenient Old Lyme, Connecticut — Sennheiser Electronic Corporation has debuted two new compact, noise-canceling headphones, the PXC300 and PXC150. The new duo from, Sennheiser, for more than a decade a global leader in noise-cancellation technology, deliver an unmatched blend of effectiveness, convenience, sound-quality, and affordability. With their highly compact design and unique ease of use, these latest active noise canceling Sennheisers qualify as perfect traveling companions, ready to dramatically reduce the audible impact of noise—and thus the fatigue of travel—on airliners, trains, busses, or anywhere that substantial environmental noise is unavoidable. Adblock The new models are generally similar, with the PXC300 featuring a clever, collapsible headband/earpiece assembly for even greater portability and convenience, plus several additional refinements that enhance performance and quality. Both the PXC300 and PXC150 designs produce the natural, musical sound that experienced audio buffs expect from any headphones carrying the Sennheiser name, making on-the-go personal music listening or in-flight entertainment true pleasures. Both models exploit the firm’s proprietary, spiral-embossed Duofol diaphragm and bass-tube technology to deliver linear, extended response for accurate, musical playback; the PXC300 model boasts both slightly more extended infra-bass, and slightly greater peak output potential. Because Sennheiser realized that even the best noise-canceling design is of no use if not immediately at hand when needed, their new PXC300 employs a robust, quick-folding collapsible system to offer superior portability, fitting easily into a supplied protective travel case little bigger than a CD wallet. Appearing nearly identical to the fully deployed PXC300, the non-collapsible PXC150 system includes a convenient drawstring vinyl carry-bag. For the best performance and most transparent active noise cancellation, the PXC300 enjoys Sennheiser’s latest NoiseGard Advance system, a newly refined active-noise-canceling circuit design that eliminates the potential, common among less sophisticated ANC systems, for audible hiss. Sennheiser’s latest evolution also reduces susceptibility to interference from cell phones and other radio-frequency sources. The PXC300 also incorporates a new super-soft leatherette ear cushions that increase passive (higher-frequency) noise reduction while also enhancing comfort. The result is stable, enjoyable listening in real-world environments, with remarkably effective noise cancellation: as much as 15 dB below 1 kHz—a thirty-fold reduction of total low-frequency noise power. Both the Sennheiser PXC300 and PXC150 designs take two AAA batteries (supplied, with the PXC300) for their slim, in-line battery-pack/volume controls, from which they deliver impressive noise-canceling life of up to 80 hours. But unlike many ANC designs, even with totally depleted cells the PXC300 and PXC150 continue to function as full-fidelity passive headphones. Sennheiser’s PXC150 and PXC300 systems are supplied with jack-adapters covering all portable, airline, and in-home listening needs, and with leatherette carry-bag (PXC150) or travel-case (PXC300). They are available immediately, at manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of $129.95 and $219.95 respectively. About Sennheiser Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser is the acknowledged world leader in headphone-transducer and microphone technology, RF-wireless and infrared sound transmission and, most recently, the development of active noise-cancellation. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation is a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, headquartered in Old Lyme, Connecticut. For additional information about Sennheiser, visit www.sennheiserusa.com. |
