Features

Overview: The Sennheiser MM 500-X headphones are an accessory that allows you to enjoy your digital music files on your mobile phone or portable music device, including those equipped with Bluetooth technology. The MM 500-X can be used wirelessly, or in places where Bluetooth isn't available, you can plug them in and use them as wired headphones.

Bluetooth Wireless Reception/Transmission: The MM 500-X features Bluetooth v2.1 wireless reception and transmission with a built-in microphone for cable-free use with select Bluetooth enabled phones and audio devices. Supported Bluetooth profiles include A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), HSP (HeadSet Profile), and HFP (Hands-Free Profile). The MM 500-X saves the connection profiles of the last eight devices with which it was paired; when turned on it automatically tries to connect with one of those devices.

Note: Not all Bluetooth enabled audio devices will be compatible.

apt-X: The MM 500-X headphones are equipped with apt-X, an audio coding technology that works within Bluetooth to wirelessly deliver CD-quality audio from your portable music device to the headphones. With apt-X, you can listen to your digital music files in crisp, pure, and full stereo sound. The following 3rd party devices / configurations have built-in apt-X support (as of 7/18/2012):

Earcups: The MM 500-X features a comfortable, over-the-ear design that let you enjoy long listening sessions while on the move. The closed design helps to provide superb passive noise attenuation. The fully-adjustable headband allows you to find the perfect fit.

Controls: On the right ear-cup there are integrated controls for your connected phone or audio device. Audio controls include volume, skip forward or backward, fast forward or rewind within a song, play, and stop. Phone controls include volume, accept call, reject call, end call, redial, voice dial, and mute.

Note: All control functions must also be supported by the connected device.

Battery Pack: The MM 500-X has a removable BA 370 PX Lithium-Polymer battery pack (3.7 volts DC/1 Wh) which provides up to 10 hours playback using Bluetooth reception. A power supply with US, UK, European, and Australian plug adapters is included to charge the battery pack; charging time is approximately three hours. The headphones can also be charged using a computer's USB port.

Collapsible Design: These headphones feature a collapsible design with metal-reinforced headband to ensure portability and durability.

Cord & Adapter: The MM 500-X will also work as wired headphones, useful when Bluetooth connection is not an option. The headphones come with a 60" mini-jack cable terminated by a 3.5mm connector for a wired connection. A 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter, and an in-flight audio adapter (dual mono 3.5mm) are included for added convenience.

Q
Do I need to buy a docking station or something to listen to my TV?
james  Jan 08, 2014

A
The Sennheiser MM 500-X I received from Crutchfield included both the 1/8" jack for smartphone/tablet devices and the "fat" jack commonly used for home theater equipment. The "fat" headphone jack screws onto the 1/8" jack and works well when connected to my DENON surround sound receiver. I use the 500-X headphones most often as a Bluetooth connection to my iPhone and iPad. The Bluetooth pairing was simple. If you are specifically asking if the Sennheiser MM 500-X can be connected directly to your TV, I don't know of any TV's equipped with a female headphone outlet to accept the jack.

No there is not any docking station available for wireless functionality. The only way you can listen from TV via wired connection from your TV Aux/headphone jack.
