SkyCross, a global wireless company providing antenna-centric RF
solutions, today announced that its antennas are embedded in
award-winning wireless earphones by Sennheiser, a world leader in
microphone technology, radio-frequency and infrared sound
transmission, headphone technology, and active noise-cancellation.
Sennheiser revealed the new earphones, model MX W1, at the CES show
earlier this month and received Popular Mechanics Editor´s Choice
award as one of the top 20 products at the show. The earphones use
wireless technology from Kleer, which enables unique features such as
"true wireless earbuds" and outstanding CD-quality stereo sound.
The versatile antenna technology at SkyCross sets designers free
to create innovative products without compromising function or
industrial design. SkyCross custom designed antennas for Sennheiser
using Kleer radio architecture to deliver superior performance, small
size, and low power consumption--three essential ingredients for a
wearable audio system.
"Sennheiser built a reputation over more than 60 years of
providing unparalleled audio products," said Joe Gifford, VP of
Business Development at SkyCross. "We are proud to offer a solution
that meets the Sennheiser standard of excellence and look forward to
providing additional products to the company."
"The superior antenna performance provided by SkyCross helped us
create a must-have product," said Jens Wildhagen, Product Development
Manager at Sennheiser Consumer Electronics. "SkyCross products are
complemented by unmatched customer service and local support."
The MX W1 will be available in the U.S. approximately May 2008.
