Your enjoyment of sound when you're out and about can often be
spoilt by distracting ambient noise and poor bass reproduction. This
is the reason why more and more music enthusiasts are turning to ear
canal headphones. They don't just screen you from external noise,
they also sound great thanks to their position in the ear canal.
Audio specialist Sennheiser is now launching five new ear canal
headphones to go alongside its successful CX 300 model. Their full
sound and fantastic colours make them an experience both your ears
and eyes will enjoy.

The new products are the CX 400, CX 500, CX 55 Street and CX 95
Style ear canal headphones, as well as the CXL 400 lanyard earphones
supplementing Sennheiser's Classic, Street and Style ranges. Their
easily exchangeable adapter rings ensure that all the models are a
perfect fit for your ear canal and the newly developed cords are even
less sensitive to handling noise.

The Classic line: the very best sound and practical features too
The CX 400 gives the listener an extremely balanced sound. Its short
cord makes this ear canal headphone perfect for mobile phones and MP3
players with remote controls or microphones. The 1m extension cable
is used if you want to keep the player in your trouser pocket. It
comes with a practical pouch, a cord take-in device, ear adapters and
a cable clip.

The CXL 400 lanyard version with its strap for a mobile phone or
MP3 player doesn't just sound fantastic, it's very safe too: the
safety catch opens if too much strain is placed on it, releasing the
lanyard from your neck. Both the CXL 400 and CX 400 come in high
gloss black, high gloss white, high gloss silver, Bordeaux red and
aqua, with a pouch and ear adapters.

The CX 500 is the new top-of-the-range model in the Classic line
and comes in high gloss black, high gloss white and titanium. It
stands out for having a wider frequency response and special ear
adapters which give the ear canal phones an even better fit. It comes
with a pouch, cable clip, cord take-in device and volume adjuster on
the cord.

The Street range: powerful beats and a cool look

Young people who don't want to do without powerful beats when
they're out and about can get a CX 55 for their mobile players. The
ear canal headphones in the Street range are a hit because of their
bass performance. Their look is also streets ahead thanks to their
reflective blue casing. The cord routing is something special too - a
small angle arm ensures that the cord is routed elegantly to the ear
from the front - for more ease and comfort. With ear adapters in S, M
and L and a pouch.

The Style line: quality design for exquisite sound

The name says it all: the CX 95 Style with its high-quality
metallic look has a balanced sound and detailed resolution for
enhanced hearing comfort when you're on the move. A short cord makes
the ear canal headphones ideal for mobile phones or players with a
remote control. The CX 95 Style comes with a 1m extension cable so
your player can stay in your pocket, as well as a practical pouch and
ear adapters for a perfect fit.

All models will be available in stores from September 2007.
