According to Sennheiser, its MM 50 iP product is the “first high-quality music headset for the iPhone”, upgrading music quality as well as taking and making phone calls.

“The MM 50 iP is a Stereo Music Headset for the Apple iPhone that adds communication capability to top of the class sound and is a major quality upgrade to the supplied Apple headset,” a higher quality Sennheiser statement said.

Features of the MM 50 iP include:
* In-ear capsules from the Sennheiser CX Hi-fi range
* A quality microphone from the professional mic maker
* Control button for calls and iPod
* Simple clean styling and high-quality materials
* Sensible pricing at just £50.

“Before you ask, this should 100 per cent match the 3G iPhone, the iPhone Nano and the nuclear powered iPhones too (-:” said a PR person getting a bit ahead of themselves.

The MM 50 iP employs an “advanced, miniaturised driver” that is tailored by Sennheiser for “smooth, acoustically correct” in-ear operation.

“This provides the MM 50 with an extended response of 18Hz-22kHz for satisfying musical detail and impressive yet well-defined bass,” a Sennheiser bod said.

The headset comes with three different sizes of ear adapters for a better fit, allowing high isolation against environmental and ambient noise.
