Sennheiser has announced its new PXC 310 headphone, which is available from August this month with wired and bluetooth version. The headphone used the company’s patented NoiseGard 2.0 technology, reducing the background of noise of trains or planes by up to 90 percent.

“The new apt-X codec provides Bluetooth transmission with minimum delay and excellent audio quality,” explained Maurice Quarré, Head of Product Management Consumer Electronics at Sennheiser. “Music and speech are reproduced in outstanding quality, while still allowing you complete freedom of movement.”

The convenient TalkThrough function makes it possible to hold a conversation without removing the headphones. At the push of a button, miniature microphones on the headphones pick up the surrounding noise while an electronic circuit filters out the sounds of voices, allowing you to hear them.

On the PXC 310 BT model, the control unit integrated into the earpiece can also be used to activate Bluetooth transmission and to select individual songs. After use, the headphones can simply be folded together and stored in the carrying case included. And the headphones also come with other special features to guarantee relaxed travelling, such as a battery charger with adapters for a wide range of countries.

Both the PXC 310 and PXC 310 BT will be available from August.
