Sennheiser Unveils True Wireless Stereo Earphones Using Kleer Technology

January 2008 -- Kleer today announced that world-renowned audio specialist Sennheiser has introduced the industry's first true wireless stereo earphones based on Kleer's wireless audio technology. Sennheiser's new MX W1 wireless earphones deliver crystal-clear CD-quality stereo sound, in addition to providing extremely high noise immunity in the crowded 2.4 GHz band environment. All Kleer-based products are fully interoperable, enabling the MX W1 earphones to receive wireless audio from any Kleer-based portable media player. Kleer's Listen In™ technology also enables two or more people, each with a set of MX W1 earphones, to listen to the same audio stream at the same time.

"Kleer's digital radio transmission technology produces excellent sound quality which means that for the first time, we're in a position to offer our customers wireless earphones without compromising our special Sennheiser sound," said Stijn Jans, Managing Director of Sennheiser Consumer Electronics, Singapore branch. "Kleer's very low audio signal latency, coupled with extremely interference-free transmission also translates into considerably longer battery life than what you'd get with conventional transmission standards."

About the Sennheiser MX W1 True Wireless Earphones
The MX W1 is comprised of two sleek ear pieces (untethered right and left earphones) featuring Sennheiser's 'twist-to-fit' system to ensure a secure and comfortable fit in each ear. Kleer's 5x - 10x power advantage over Bluetooth has enabled Sennheiser to use the smallest rechargeable coin cell battery in the world, thus facilitating a compact, ergonomically pleasing industrial design that consumers demand. The earphones also come with a small, matchbox-sized transmitter and a transport case which includes an integrated battery that can recharge the earphones when away from home.

"The name Sennheiser has been synonymous with top-quality audio products for over 60 years," said Levent Gun, President and CEO of Kleer. "It's therefore a huge vote-of-confidence that this industry giant has validated our wireless audio technology with an outstanding product that we believe will set a new standard in wireless audio sound. The MX W1 represents the best our respective companies can offer to consumers in wireless earphone technology and design."

The MX W1 will be available from May 2008. Demonstrations of the product will be held at a Kleer press conference at CES 2008, January 7th, 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. at The Venetian, Casanova 501/601. The product will also be featured at the Sennheiser CES booth #21235, Hall 1, as well as at the Kleer booth #71042, Sands Convention Center.
