Enjoy music and clear communications on your mobile
Now that mobiles offer music in addition to phone functions, you need a headset that lets you listen to music without having to worry about missing a call. That is why the MM 450 headset features a high-performance invisible microphone to take calls at the simple press of a button.
Listen with Sennheiser quality sound
The MM 450 TRAVEL uses drivers and technology from Sennheiser's renowned hi-fi headphones line to reproduce music in superb stereo quality. The invisible microphone and Stereo Bluetooth echnologies come from the headset specialists Sennheiser Communications. The headset delivers clear and balanced music without the exaggerated bass or muffled vocals of lesser sets. Phone calls
are crystal clear at both ends.
Choose wireless or wired for the best of both worlds
This MM 450 headset offers total freedom from wires AND a convenient wired solution when wireless transmissions are not allowed, for example on a flight.
Stay friends with your neighbours
The closed-capsule design on the MM 450 means you can listen to music in peace, without annoying the people sitting around you. Closed capsules keep the music in and background noise out.
Smart design, that's easy to use
The MM 450 stands out with its stylish but practical design and boasts a rugged, "travel-proof" build. They are exceptionally easy on the ears with ultra-soft pads to keep you listening in comfort on even the longest trips. The intuitive controls are all clustered conveniently on the right capsule. The invisible microphone has no protruding boom to get in the way, while the on-capsule volume control saves you scrambling for the volume on your source device.
Tough, travel-proof construction
Designed with travellers' needs in mind, the MM 450 TRAVEL folds flat and packs away easily in carry-on luggage. To prevent damage in overhead lockers, the headband is metal-reinforced and comes supplied in a moulded travel case. An airline adapter is also supplied.
Listen in comfort with NoiseGard 2.0
Used in Sennheiser's Aviation headsets to reduce cockpit noise, NoiseGard 2.0 Active Noise Reduction makes a perfect travelling companion, ready to dramatically reduce the audible impact of noise and thus the fatigue of travel, on planes, trains, buses, or anywhere that substantial environmental noise
is unavoidable.
NoiseGard 2.0 electronically removes 90% of unwanted background noise, including the drone and roar of jet engines or the clatter of rails, so you can listen to music and calls at a relaxing volume. This makes the MM 450 TRAVEL ideal for use in planes, trains and other noisy environments. Sennheiser pioneered noise compensation headphones over 20 years ago and the MM 450 TRAVEL benefits from our unparalleled expertise in this technology.
Stop for a chat with TalkThrough
With one press of a button, you can use the unique TalkThrough feature to turn on the external microphone and open a voice channel through the NoiseGard. It is ideal if you want to catch an announcement or speak to the flight attendant without ever having to remove the headset.
