12:33PM Nick Broughall | They’re wireless. They actively cancel out background noise. What’s not to love about the Sennheiser PXC 310BT? Actually, there a few small things, although truth be told, I don’t think the blame can actually be placed at Sennheiser’s feet here. More »

10:00AM Nick Broughall | I remember when I first started working in this industry, one of my first jobs was to review a pair of wireless RF headphones from some low-end Chinese manufacturer. They were terrible. Interference that manifested itself as random bursts of static blasting through the headphones, they showcased both the need to buy better quality, and the shortcomings of RF technology as a wireless audio standard. These new Sennheisers are all digital though, which should mean static is a thing of the past. More »

Sequels To The First Decent Headphones I Ever Owned
11:20PM Matt Buchanan | The first decent headphones I owned were Sennheiser’s PX-100. I got ‘em for $US30, and I was blown away, since it was the first time I heard something truly better than $US20 shitcans. Now, Sennheiser’s got a sequel: PX-100 II. More »

Sennheiser’s Fancy HD Cans Hit $US100, Ride Spinnaz
3:59AM John Herrman | A lot of Audiophiles, and more often just beat junkies, swear by Senn’s headphones. Their product line, though, is a little light in the middle, where human beings actually shop. Hence the HD 4×8 series, which graciously starts at $US100. More »

10:00AM Nick Broughall | We’ve bitched about the quality of Apple’s included earphones enough here on Giz for you to recite the importance of upgrading your headphones in your sleep. Well from the looks of it, the latest release from Sennheiser is about to blow the competition away, with a pair that will let you dictate the level of bass you want by turning a dial on the earphone. Not only that, but the cables in the new IE lineup are reinforced with Kevlar, giving you an ever so much slighter chance of surviving a gunshot wound when someone tries to mug you for your new headphones. Okay, that’s a lie, but it does mean your earphones are likely to survive being wrenched out of your ears when the cable catches on a door handle.

8:51AM Nick Broughall | I normally wouldn’t post something like this on Giz, but it’s Monday, my mind is still in Sunday mode and I have this press release from Sennheiser sitting in my inbox, waiting to to be filed.
The big news here is that Sennheiser’s premium microphones are available in EA’s Rock Band 2 game (you know, the sequel to the peripheral-based game that still not available in Australia, although it will be very soon). Considering Both Rock Band and Guitar Hero before it used official guitar makes and models (plus amps and other musician’s kit), this isn’t so surprising.
What does make this interesting is that it’s well-worked into the game. Considering Google is making (or planning on making) a big splash into in-game advertising, there’s some concern that ads in games are going to detract from the gaming experience. Considering how demanding gamers are, this can only be a bad thing.
In any case, if (and when) you ever do get Rock Band 2, remember that Sennheiser mics are some pretty high-quality gear, even when they’re just virtual copies of the original.
