Old Lyme, Conn. – March 9, 2010:
Audio specialist Sennheiser is being honored with no less than five
awards in this year’s International Forum Design competition. The
top-of-the-range HD 800 model and the RS 170 and RS 180 RF headphones
won awards in the ‘Audio/Video’ category. From the communication side MM
100 won an award; the PC 31 headset took the coveted prize in the
‘Computers’ category and the model DW Office in the ‘Telecommunications’
category.

Perfect sound, innovative technology and top-quality design: it was this
combination that also impressed the international jury at the iF
Product Design Awards 2010. It presented awards to Sennheiser’s HD 800,
RS 170, RS 180, MM 100, PC 31 and DW Office products. This year, the
jurors for the renowned design competition received a total of 2,468
entries from 39 countries. Of these, 778 award-winners were selected in
16 categories.

Sennheiser’s top-of-the-range HD 800 fascinates music-lovers with an
impressively spatial sound image that has brilliant trebles and precise
basses. These outstanding sound properties are accompanied by a puristic
design, carefully selected materials and a high-quality finish ‘made in
Germany’. The key components of the HD 800 are a completely new
transducer and the innovative ear cup design.

The RS 170 and RS 180 headphone models offer high-resolution sound
thanks to digital RF transmission. The RS 170 features dynamic basses
and a switchable surround sound mode, while the RS 180 has individually
adjustable audio properties for a unique sound experience. A minimalist
design and high-gloss surfaces in black or anthracite give both
headphones an attractively elegant appearance.

In the latest MM Series coup, the neckband style MM 100 Stereo
Bluetooth® caught the discerning eyes of jurors to win an
internationally coveted iF product design award for 2010. The MM 100
combines Stereo Bluetooth® with super-lightweight neckband design,
making it the perfect headset for doing sports, walking the streets or
simply relaxing in the park.

Whether it is used for internet telephony or for enjoying music on the
computer, the PC 31 headset from Sennheiser Communications offers
excellent voice transmission and top-quality stereo sound. The quality
of the sound is matched by the design. The classically elegant shape in a
discreet black finish provides the headset with a luxurious appearance.
The ergonomic design with an adjustable microphone boom guarantees
maximum wearing comfort.


Sennheiser Communications also provides business professionals with
comfortable headset solutions. The latest state-of-the-art DW Office
DECT headset showcases exquisite wireless design by providing ergonomic
wearing comfort and Sennheiser sound quality. Whether using a desk phone
or softphone, communication has never been more intuitive. The
DW Office lightweight headset and cube-shaped base station not only adds
a DECT headset to the company's existing portfolio of ‘Comfort calls’
products, but is also a real work of art from a product design
perspective.


For those interested in top-quality design, all award-winners will be on
show from March 2nd in the iF Online Exhibition at www.ifdesign.de. Those
who prefer to see the award-winning products ‘live’ will have the
opportunity to visit the iF exhibition at the Hannover Messe trade fair
and exhibition centre from the beginning of March until August.
