Sennheiser MX W1 Wireless Headphones

 

I have lost quite a few headphones in Mumbai's crowded trains. Whenever I've been foolish enough to attempt getting in while listening to music, the cable's been pulled out by the surge of people. In such circumstances I've wondered if there's a...

The audio quality is good too, with a well-defined sound structure. The lows are pretty uniform, and aren't hampered by the rather clean highs. The frequency response is 19 - 20,000 Hz, while the impedance level is 32 ohms.

Sennheiser MX W1 Headphones Review - Intro

 

The Sennheiser MX W1 headphones are a set of wireless in-ears. They are the first pair of wireless in-ears we've reviewed. Since they use wireless technology, don't expect the best audio quality: sound has to be compressed in order to stream from your...

Wireless connectivity frees you from the strict constraints of cords. Portable. Lots of power adapters

Not particularly comfortable, not many customization options

The MX W1s seem to be more of a tech demo than an actual consumer item. It's the first marriage of Sennheiser and Kleer's wireless technology, and honestly, we can't see someone dropping $500 on these things. Not only do they look silly at best, but...

Sennheiser's MX W1 earphones use Kleer wireless audio technology, blows away Bluetooth stereo, and cost a fortune.

Outstanding audio performance. Excellent wireless transmission. Well-packaged, good-looking components.

Prohibitively expensive. Low-end can suffer depending on the listener's ear shape.

The MX W1 earphones would have fared better on our rating scale if its price weren't sky-high. But we do appreciate that Sennheiser is incorporating Kleer's wireless audio technologywhich is vastly superior to Bluetoothinto a high-quality product.

Sennheiser MX W1 Wireless Headphones

 

Sennheiser has released its MX W1 Wireless Headphones, which means no more tangled cords for you - bonus!

The power of the MX W1 Wireless Headphones is Kleer. Kleer is Sennheiser’s audio transmission system with low latency and a crystal-clear signal without compression or shifting in your ear, so all you get is pure, uncompressed, full-bandwidth audio...

Instead of the usual Bluetooth connection, Sennheiser went the Kleer technology route with its CES 2008 debutant, the MX W1 wireless stereo earphones.

Great sound quality and top of the line blue tooth technology make these earbuds a force to be reckoned with. It would be nice if there was yet another adapter for the ear lock, as it seems mine fall right in the middle of two that came with the buds,...
