Sennheiser has this week unveiled two new headphone sets at the Mobile World Congress 2012 show, the Sennheiser MM 550 and MM 450-X. Both headphones are equipped with Sennheiser’s Apt-X file compression technology, which now compresses audio four times faster than on previous versions of the headphones. This advancement in compression technology ensures that users experience high-quality audio with minimal latency, making these headphones ideal for both music enthusiasts and professionals who require reliable audio performance.
Advanced Noise Cancellation
As well as the Apt-X, both headphones are also equipped with NoiseGard 2.0 technology, which has been designed and added by Sennheiser to cancel up to 90% of surrounding background noise whilst in use. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who frequently travel or work in noisy environments, as it allows for an immersive listening experience without the distraction of external sounds. NoiseGard 2.0 uses advanced algorithms to detect and counteract ambient noise, providing a serene audio environment whether you’re on a bustling city street or a noisy airplane.
Enhanced Audio Features
The Sennheiser MM 550 headphones will also be equipped with SRS WOW HD technology, boosting the bass and creating a surround sound effect. This technology enhances the depth and clarity of the audio, making it feel as though the sound is coming from all around you. However, this advanced audio feature will make the MM 550 headset a little more pricey than the MM 450-X. The SRS WOW HD technology is particularly appealing to audiophiles who seek a rich and dynamic listening experience, as it significantly enhances the overall sound quality.
Both headphones will also feature push-to-talk external microphones, which are perfect for making calls or using voice commands. This feature ensures that your voice is heard clearly, even in noisy environments. Additionally, when paired with devices that do not support Apt-X technology, the audio will revert back to standard Bluetooth audio quality instead, say Sennheiser. This backward compatibility ensures that users can still enjoy a good audio experience even if their device does not support the latest technology.
Both new sets of headphones, the Sennheiser MM 550 and MM 450-X, will be arriving in stores sometime during next month. But unfortunately, no information on pricing has been released as yet by Sennheiser. However, given the advanced features and technologies incorporated into these headphones, it is expected that they will be positioned at a premium price point. As soon as pricing information is available, we will keep you updated as always.
The Sennheiser MM 550 and MM 450-X headphones represent a significant leap forward in audio technology. With features like Apt-X file compression, NoiseGard 2.0, and SRS WOW HD, these headphones are designed to provide an unparalleled listening experience. Whether you’re a frequent traveler, a music lover, or a professional in need of high-quality audio, these new offerings from Sennheiser are sure to impress.
