Sennheiser PX 210 Bluetooth headphones
February 11, 2010
Sennheiser has rolled out its PX 210 Bluetooth headphones which supposedly lasts up to a dozen hours of continuous audio playback before running out of juice (or most probably your device will need a recharge first), where it comes with the customary 10 meter range associated with Bluetooth-enabled devices and apt-X coding (a commercial-grade compression technology). Unfortunately, the PX 210 is not all sunshine and roses, as it is listen-only, not to mention that selected devices will not support apt-X quality without an additional dongle. Guess the Sennheiser PX 210 targets true audiophiles, hence the pretty steep price point of $299.95.
