Sennheiser recently partnered with Adidas to produce new sport headphones. The companies took complaints and turned them into solutions to make an athlete’s experience better. According to Eric Palonen of Sennheiser, the headphones sound great, stay in place, and are sweat proof.

Another product Sennheiser displayed at CES was the MM 450, which won a CES Innovation Award. The MM 450 allows users to answer phone calls and listen to music in stereo. In addition, it cancels up to 90 percent of ambient noise, which makes it perfect for a frequent traveler.

Unlike similar devices, ButtKicker allows the sound to be completely isolated to the listener. Through its patented technology, the ButtKicker low frequency audio transducers allow users to feel the audio without excessive volume.

Mark Luden told WebProNews that ButtKicker adds to the increasingly popular 3-D experience “by making the feeling of sound come alive.”

The unit easily sits under one leg of a sofa or chair and includes an amplifier that can shake the entire seating area. The kit is also equipped with a remote control to vary the intensity.

The price of the ButtKicker is $299 and is available at www.thebuttkicker.com or www.shakemycouch.com.

The neckphones sit comfortably on the neck and have speakers on either side that project music up to the user’s ear. The device is lightweight and comfortable and includes an expandable neckband. The NxSet can also be placed on a table or central area to share the music with a number of people.

The NxSET Music 2 is essentially identical to NxSET Music 1 but also contains built-in retractable earbuds for private listening. Both Music 1 and Music 2 operate with 2 AA batteries. The products are known for the “internal audio amplifier to deliver rich bass and clear, crisp middle-and-high range sound.”

Specific features include:

-    Slender, flexible, low-profile design
-    “Ear-free” comfort
-    High-fidelity amplifier
-    Easy-access power and volume controls
-    Acoustic Bypass technology

Although release date and price have not been made public, there is a rumor that the NxSET Music 1 and Music 2 will be available during first quarter of this year.
