Is this going to change the way you listen the music? Sony Ericsson is introducing its new MH907 headphones, comes with the world’s first motion activated sensor to control the music playback. Sony Ericsson’s SensMe Control responds without a single press of a button. You can pause the music playback just by removing one earbud, and to start listening again you can simply plug the earbud back.

“With the MH907 consumers can pocket their phone but still stay connected all day, every day by simply plugging in or removing their earbuds – there is no need for a remote control or any buttons.” said Jacob Sten, Senior Vice President, SEMC Accessories.

When both earbuds are inserted, the phone’s music player automatically starts. Remove one earbud to pause music and reinsert it to begin playing the track again.

To answer a call, insert one earbud. Or, if you are listening to music and receive a call, just remove one earbud and reinsert it.

Sounds great right? The MH907 needs a Sony Ericsson phones with a fast port connector to work with, that means it will not be compatible with any other phones with bluetooth yet.
