Did you know?
If you hold down the Bluetooth button when connected to an iPhone it activates the Voice Control so you can even select your tracks by name!
This is Sennheiser’s third generation of Bluetooth headsets and takes advantage of all the latest developments available in wireless technology.
The rechargeable battery is removable and should last for two years on average, depending on usage. It is called the BA 370 PX and is easily available. To fully charge the battery via USB or mains will take about 3 hours. You can then listen to music for a full 10 hours or talk for 20 before having to re-charge!
To hear the full audio potential from your computer or audio device with a USB socket, Sennheiser recommends using the BTD 500 USB (a USB dongle accessory), to ensure the source is apt-X enabled
Sennheiser recommends this headset for…
… owners of the latest Bluetooth apt-X-enabled phones and laptops, such as more recent MacBooks, selected HTC or Samsung Galaxy music products, who would like to take advantage of their full audio capability. Also perfect for those wanting a high sound and build quality in a more convenient format.
Compatibility
The MM 500-X offers excellent compatibility with all Bluetooth apt-X-enabled mobile smartphone brands and computers.
Seems like a decent deal.
