Sennheiser introduces wireless over-ear headphones and in-ear earbuds
Sennheiser has presented two wireless over-ear headphones at CES, one of which has noise canceling. In addition, the German company has introduced two new in-ear earbuds.
The HD 450BT and HD 350BT are wireless Bluetooth headphones that, according to Sennheiser, build on their predecessors, the HD 4.40BT and HD 4.50BTNC. The two new models support Bluetooth 5.0 and codecs such as aac, AptX and AptX Low latency. They can also be connected to multiple devices at the same time, they have a specified battery life of 30 hours and can be charged via a USB-C connection. Both models have a button to use Siri or Google Assistant, with only the HD 450BT having noise canceling available. This model can also be connected via a cable. The two headphones, which come in a white and black edition, can be set up via the Sennheiser Smart Control app. The HD 350BT costs 99 euros and will be available from mid-month, while the HD 450BT has a suggested retail price of 179 euros and is available from mid-February.
In addition, Sennheiser is introducing two in-ear earbuds, the CX 350BT and CX 150BT. Of these earphones, only the CX 350BT supports the aac, AptX and AptX Low latency codec, while both models support Bluetooth 5.0 and can be paired with multiple devices at the same time. Active noise canceling is missing on these models, although the manufacturer reports that eartips in four different sizes are included, so that a good fit should be possible, while environmental noise would be shielded. Sennheiser says the earbuds have a battery life of ten hours and they can be charged via USB-C. The CX 350BT model offers a separate button for Siri or Google Assistant and the Sennheiser Smart Control app can also be used with these products to personalize the settings. The CX 150BT is available in a black version for 69 euros, and will also be available in a white edition from next month. The CX 350BT is also available from February in both ‘colours’, for a price of 99 euros.
