Always in touch while working out: the new Sports headsets from Sennheiser and adidas for the iPhone

Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- OLD LYME, Conn. – October 18, 2010: The music gets faster, your stride gets longer—and then your iPhone* rings. No need to stop. The new Sports headsets from Sennheiser  and adidas enable you to effortlessly switch from listening to music to answering the phone at the touch of a button. Audio specialist Sennheiser and sporting goods manufacturer adidas are extending their joint headphone line with the addition of the CX 680i Sports, MX 680i Sports, OMX 680i Sports and PMX 680i Sports models, which have been specially developed and designed for use with the iPhone.

The new Sports headsets combine top-quality sound and maximum functionality with a convenient hands-free system. “The remote and microphone unit integrated into the cable allow you to seamlessly switch between music and calls at the push of a button,” explains Eric Stubbert, channel manager for consumer electronics at Sennheiser Electronic Corporation. “If the phone rings, the music is automatically paused and restarts as soon as the phone call is finished. This ensures that you never miss an incoming call or your favorite song.”

Designed for the iPhone
The new headsets deliver crystal-clear highs, powerful bass and energizing sound. A button on the remote control enables you to conveniently control a wide range of functions during even the toughest workouts. Depending on how often and how long the button is pressed, your favorite workout music can be played, paused or skipped to the next/previous track. Calls can be answered, declined and ended using the control unit. If iPhone Voice Control is activated, you can dial a telephone number or select a track simply by speaking into the microphone—without interrupting your workout. Each headset includes a convenient cable clip to keep the cable and microphone in place.

Rugged training partner
All four Sports headsets are equipped with Sennheiser’s moisture protection system. This not only effectively protects the headsets from sweat and rain, but also allows them to be rinsed under the tap. The tough and hard-wearing materials are unaffected by vibrations, and the reinforced cables remain soft and flexible even at frigid temperatures.
