High-quality music and calls with Bluetooth convenience
High-quality music and calls with Bluetooth convenience
Sennheiser's MM 500-X portable headphones are fantastic for enjoying your music and managing your phone calls without getting tangled up in cords. They feature built-in Bluetooth technology for a hassle-free wireless connection to compatible devices, such as many cell phones, laptop computers, tablets, and MP3 players. You can use the integrated volume, track skip, and call answer/end buttons built into the right earcup for convenient operation while your phone or music player remains safely in your pocket, purse, or backpack. The MM 500-X headphones also support the latest aptX technology — a sophisticated audio encoder that delivers true high-fidelity stereo sound wirelessly over Bluetooth with aptX-enabled sources.
Great comfort, sound, and versatility
The MM 500-X's over-the-ear design, soft padded cushions, and adjustable headband make them a comfortable companion for long listening sessions on the go. Their folding design makes for easy storage when you travel. Sennheiser's patented Duofol™ diaphragms provide detailed, crystal-clear sound. And just in case you need it, Sennheiser includes a cable plus an airline adapter for a direct wired connection in situations where Bluetooth isn't permitted, or you want to make use of in-seat entertainment and other wired sound sources.

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.
