Sennheiser Communications is proud to announce the launch of a
groundbreaking wireless stereo series. Featuring advanced Stereo
Bluetooth(R) technology, the MM 400 and MM 450 TRAVEL are
best-of-breed communications headsets for the demanding global
traveler. Designed to work seamlessly with the latest mobile phones
and other Bluetooth(R)-enabled devices, they also deliver world-class
stereo sound with all types of music - thanks to the mature A2DP
profile developed especially for Stereo Bluetooth(R).

As Product Manager Johannes Kaulfuss states: "Bluetooth(R)
technology together with the advanced A2DP profile is so mature that
great stereo sound is now possible. That means we at Sennheiser
Communications have developed and launched probably one of the
world's best Stereo Bluetooth(R) headsets."

Enjoy music and clear communications - all on your mobile

Now that modern mobiles offer music in addition to phone
functions, you need a headset that lets you listen to music without
having to worry about missing a call. That is why the MM 400 Series
headsets feature a high-performance invisible microphone that lets
you easily take calls at just a simple press of a button.

Listen with Sennheiser-quality sound

The MM 400 and MM 450 TRAVEL feature drivers and technology from
Sennheiser's renowned hi-fi headphones line - to reproduce music in
superb stereo quality. The invisible microphone and Stereo
Bluetooth(R) technologies come from the headset specialists
Sennheiser Communications.

Both models deliver clear and balanced music reproduction without
the exaggerated bass or muffled vocals of lesser sets. Phone calls
are crystal clear at both ends.

Choose wireless or wired - for the best of both worlds

Both Stereo Bluetooth(R) headsets offer total freedom from wires
and a convenient wired solution for when wireless transmissions are
not allowed, for example on a flight. Wireless or wired, Sennheiser
Communications' fully mature Bluetooth(R) 2.1 and A2DP technology
deliver excellent stereo sound under any circumstances. If a wireless
connection is prohibited, simply plug in the headset using the
supplied audio cable and adapters.

Stay friends with your neighbors

The closed-capsule design on the MM 400 Series means you can
listen to music in peace, without annoying the people sitting around
you. Unlike most in-ear headphones, closed capsules keep your music
in and background noise out.

Get used to smart design that's easy to use

The MM 400 Series stands out with its stylish but practical
design. Both headsets boast a rugged, "travel-proof" build and are
exceptionally easy on the ears - with ultra-soft pads to keep you
listening in comfort on even the longest trips. They are also very
easy to use, with the intuitive controls all clustered conveniently
on the right capsule. The invisible microphone has no protruding boom
to get in the way, while the on-capsule volume control saves you
scrambling for the volume on your source device.

Carry on listening

Designed with travelers' needs in mind, the MM 400 and MM 450
TRAVEL fold flat and pack away easily in carry-on luggage. To prevent
damage in overhead lockers, the headband is metal-reinforced and
comes supplied in a molded travel case. An airline adapter is also
supplied.

Listen in comfort with NoiseGard(TM) 2.0 (MM 450 TRAVEL only)

NoiseGard(TM) 2.0 electronically removes 90% of unwanted
background noise, including the drone and roar of jet engines or the
clatter of rails, so you can listen to music and calls at a relaxing
volume. This makes the MM 450 TRAVEL ideal for use in planes, trains
and other noisy environments. Sennheiser pioneered noise compensation
headphones over 20 years ago and the MM 450 TRAVEL benefits from our
unparalleled expertise in this technology.

Stop for a chat with TalkThrough (MM 450 TRAVEL only)

With one press on the MM 450 TRAVEL headset, you can use our
unique TalkThrough feature to turn on the external microphone and
open a voice channel through the NoiseGard(TM) feature. It is ideal
if you want to catch an announcement or speak to the flight attendant
without ever having to remove the headset.

The MM 450 TRAVEL and the MM 400 will be available in September
2009.
