The MX Wireless 1
is Sennheiser’s first portable and completely wireless stereo earphone system. Featuring two separate (left/right) earphones, a tiny transmitter and a carrying case with integrated charger, the MX W1 offers an uncompressed digital wireless connection and delivers true high-fidelity stereo sound.


The wireless earbuds
weigh just 10gms each and use Sennheiser's patented Twist-to-fit' system and comfortable earpads. Dynamic speaker systems with powerful neodymium magnets deliver clear and detailed audio reproduction.

Kleer’s 10x power advantage over Bluetooth has enabled Sennheiser to use the smallest rechargeable coin cell battery in the world, thus facilitating a compact, ergonomically pleasing industrial design.

The MX W1 features newly developed 14mm transducers manufactured by Sennheiser. These high-quality transducers ensure an optimum sound with exceptional accuracy and superior bass definition. 

In addition, the MX W1 uses Sennheiser’s Twist-to-Fit system for a secure and comfortable fit. Ear adapters of various sizes are included.


Tiny, matchbox-sized transmitter
The transmitter is fed from any device with a 3.5mm headphone output and is attached to the player using one of four different sized rubber bands. Being physically time the transmitter easily fits with iPod and phones

The MX W1 system comes complete with a transmitter that can be easily connected to the 3.5mm socket of portable audio/video devices such as the iPod, iPhone or other MP3 players.  Rugged elastic bands allow for a safe attachment of the transmitter to the player.  The set-up of transmitter and receivers is easy and straightforward — just plug and play.

Lower latency
Kleer’s highly efficient and extremely fast channel switching and use of lossless audio transmission, minimises the required amount of audio buffering, enabling MX W1 to enjoy very low latency.  This makes the MX W1 a good choice for viewing films on portable devices. (no lip-sync problems)


Share music
The transmitter can to transmit to two pairs of MX W1, enabling two people to listen to the same audio player at the same time.


A full days listening from one mains charge
The system carry case doubles as a mobile power station for quick-charging the earphones up to three times 'on the move' with no need for external power. The transmitter has a 10 hour battery life and three mobile charges, give the earbuds matching capacity.

ADDITIONAL INFO
The MX W1 is based on an uncompressed, digital wireless transmission
technology from Kleer Corporation (www.kleer.com), which, similar to Bluetooth, operates in the 2.4 GHz range.  This new transmission standard is not compatible with Bluetooth, but offers significant advantages such as:

Uncompressed transmission for CD-quality sound
Kleer’s wireless transmission technology ensures lossless audio transmission by avoiding loss-prone audio compression, while Sennheiser’s newly developed 14mm transducers ensure optimum audio performance.
Multi-receiver capability
Users to pair their audio player with up to four separate receivers enabling them to share their music with friends.
Ultra-low power consumption and compact design
Kleer’s wireless transmission technology ensures a longer battery life and thus miniaturisation of the product.
Higher immunity to interference
Kleer dynamically selects one of 16 narrow-band channels within the 2.4GHz band to ensure that the signals travel over an unoccupied channel, avoiding channels utilised by WiFi, Bluetooth or other protocols.
Lower latency
Kleer’s highly efficient and extremely fast channel switching and use of
lossless audio transmission minimises the required amount of audio buffering, enabling MX W1 to enjoy very low latency.  This makes the MX W1 a good choice for viewing films on portable devices. (no lip-sync problems)
