Sennheiser Announces New Ear-Canal Headphones

September 2007—Distracting ambient noise and poor bass reproduction can blemish any on-the-go listening experience. With seven colorful new headphones from Sennheiser, more and more music enthusiasts can shield their ears from distracting external noise and also enjoy great sound thanks to the position in the ear canal.

The CX 400, CX 500, CX 55 Street, and CX 95 Style earphones join Sennheiser's Classic, Street and Style lines and also accompany the successful CX 300 ear canal headphone. Their easily exchangeable adapter rings ensure that all the models are a perfect fit for your ear canal, while the newly developed cords are resistant to handling noise. Some include cable winders and cases to keep tangled wires at bay, ensuring a great listening experience no matter where you go.

The Classic line: practical features with the very best sound
The CX 400 offers the listener an extremely balanced sound. Its short cord makes this ear canal headphone perfect for arm-worn MP3 players. The 3-foot extension cable is used if you want to keep the player in your trouser pocket. It comes with a practical pouch, a cord winder, ear adapters and a cable clip.

The CX 500 is the new top-of-the-range model in the Classic line and comes in high gloss black, high gloss white and titanium. It stands out for having a wider frequency response and special flange ear adapters which give the ear canal phones an even better seal. A convenient volume adjuster maintains total control over incoming audio levels on any playlist or shuffle. The CX 500 comes with a pouch, cable clip and cord winder for an unsurpassed value.

The CX 55: Street beats and a fresh look
It is no secret that powerful low-end frequency response is essential in a street-headphone. The incredible bass performance of the CX 55 ensures that even the lowest bass notes are heard with clarity and precision. The look is clean and fresh thanks to the reflective blue casing. The cord routing is something special too: a small angle arm ensures that the cord is seamlessly routed to the ear from the front for more ease and comfort. The CX 55 includes ear adapters in small, medium and large fittings, along with a convenient, durable pouch.

The CX 95 Style: quality design for exquisite sound
The name says it all: the CX 95 Style, with its high-quality metallic look, has a balanced sound and detailed resolution for enhanced hearing comfort when you're on the move. A short cord makes the ear canal headphones ideal for arm-worn mp3 players or with a remote control. The CX 95 Style comes with a 3-foot extension cable so your player can stay in your pocket, as well as a hard-shell case and ear adapters for a perfect fit.

All models will be available in stores from September 2007. MSRP are as follows: CX 500 (White/Titanium/Black): $129.95, CX 400 (Silver/Black): $99.95, CX 55 Street: $79.95, CX 95 Style: $139.95.
