Sennheiser´s MX W1 wins EISA Award |
| |
| |
In the ‘European Audio Awards’ category the innovative headphones impressed the international jury and can from now on officially use the title ‘European Headphones 2008-2009’.
“Mobile music is all very well, but wouldn’t it be great to lose those tangled headphone wires? At last that dream becomes a reality in the shape of Sennheiser’s brand-new headphone concept based on wireless audio technology from Kleer™. This new headphone design for the first time provides the luxury of audiophile-level sound quality, in a wire-free format that permits complete freedom of movement“. This was the verdict of the EISA jury, a panel which is made up of representatives from 50 European trade magazines. The coveted EISA Awards are presented each year for products in the fields of photography, video, audio & home cinema, in-car entertainment and multimedia.
Top quality wireless musical pleasure
“We are delighted to receive this award from the European Imaging and Sound Association”, said Susanne Seidel, Head of Global Marketing for Sennheiser. “We are the first manufacturers in the world to offer a complete wireless earphone system that works without compression and therefore without losing any sound quality.” The audio specialists from Wedemark in Germany launched the MX W1 in January at the CES in Las Vegas.
The new transmission technology from Kleer™ that is used in the MX W1 offers a lossless wireless audio transmission in CD-quality while consuming minimal power. This allows for a very small earphone size while maintaining long listening times. In addition to this, the product developers, as usual, paid very close attention to achieving the best acoustic quality: newly developed transducers from Sennheiser reproduce high quality detailed sound with well defined bass notes. And with Kleer™ the listening enjoyment can even be shared: the technology allows two users — a total of four separate earpieces — to be connected to the transmitter. A carrying case with quick-charge function allows for up to three full recharges while ‘on-the-move’.
