In fact, Sennheiser has just announced that they will be rolling out a new range of ‘Universal’ headsets, and the good news is this – all of them will play nice with the latest smartphone devices of today, which happen to hail from a slew of companies such as BlackBerry, Apple, Samsung and HTC.

The HD 219s would come in the form of on-the-ear universal headset for $79.95 a pop, where it delivers vibrant sound and punchy bass. Sporting a closed back design that blocks outside noise in order for you to hear both music and calls without interference, the HD 219s’ high-output neodymium magnets help deliver the perfect combination of precise stereo sound and a powerful bass response, while its in-line remote control, make taking calls a snap.

Then there is the around-the-ear HD 429s universal headset that is going for $99.95, virtually allowing you to enjoy Sennheiser sound quality regardless of where you are without having to miss a call at all. The HD 429s offers outstanding audio performance with a smooth bass response. Last but not least would be the $99.95 MM 70s that was created based on one of Sennheiser most popular ear-canal models.

When it comes to quality audio devices, then you know for sure the name Bang & Olufsen will be able to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen has proudly announced a couple of new headphones that will arrive later this July, although we will only concentrate on one – that would be the BeoPlay H6, where this is a super soft, flexible over-ear headphone that offers a sound performance which will elevate audio to another level.

In order to deliver the best possible sound experience for the masses, the folks over at B&O PLAY conducted extensive studies in the shape and curves of the human ear so that they are able to discover the right geometries which will minimize sound leakage, while revealing all the fine details in the music regardless of the current volume level. The BeoPlay H6 will offer a truly natural and authentic sound performance with focus on getting a clear midrange and a balanced bass and treble performance. It has been specially designed around 40 mm custom designed drivers that are accompanied by neodymium magnets which are perfectly angled in order to obtain the best distance and sound direction into the ears. The BeoPlay H6 would also feature an internal bass port that delivers a well-balanced bass performance within a closed headphone design.

The BeoPlay H6 is made out of anodized high-grade aluminium, which would also make it extremely robust and scratch-resistant. The BeoPlay H6 also boasts of anodized aluminum on the adjustable slider arm and cover plate in order to complete the design with a final vibrant touch. The clever use of solid cowhide leather on the BeoPlay H6 headphones that hails from New Zealand is another masterstroke in craftsmanship, as cows there roam in controlled pastures and only the very highest quality hides are selected. You can be assured that each leather product is completely natural, and the leather is dyed with a tanning process which offers colors in rich and warm tones.

The asking price for the BeoPlay H6 would be $399 a pop later this July if you are interested.

Kinivo CEO Sharad Mittal said, “We combined the sleek design of our BTX450 and the portability of our ZX100 to craft the ultimate travel speaker. Pack the new BTX350 and rechargeabe battery into your suitecase while traveling, carry it in your beach bag for summer activities, or let it seamlessly complement any home décor.”
