CX 680 Sports Headphones From Sennheiser And Adidas Win CES Innovations Award
The CX 680 sports headphones won the prestigious CES Innovations Award at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The ear-canal phones from Sennheiser and adidas impressed the interdisciplinary jury in the “Headphones” category. The award-winning headphones will be presented to an international audience for the first time at the trade show from January 7-10, 2010.
"We are delighted to have been presented with this award by the Consumer Electronics Association and are extremely proud that the CX 680 has been able to celebrate such a successful debut in Las Vegas," said Susanne Seidel, president of global marketing at Sennheiser. The Innovations Design and Engineering Awards are presented once a year to recognize the most innovative consumer electronics products. A jury made up of engineers and trade journalists chose the sports headphones on the basis of their development, design, function and user-friendliness. The award for the CX 680 is one of six presented by the jury to Sennheiser products this year.

“The CX 680 provides top-quality sound and meets the extreme demands of sports applications without compromises," said Sven Wilhelmsen, product manager at Sennheiser, describing the new sports headphones. The powerful sound image ensures plenty of motivation during the toughest workouts. Sennheiser's patent-pending ergonomically designed EarFin holding system makes sure that the ear pieces fit perfectly in the ear. A simple twist fixes the innovative “fin” to the outer ear. Ear adapters and various sizes for the innovative fins are included to guarantee a comfortable and secure fit. By sitting snug in the ear canal, they also offer effective insulation against surrounding noise.
The “Innovations Design and Engineering Awards” (in short: CES Innovations Awards) have been presented by the Consumer Electronics Association since 1976.
The earphones are ideal even for the toughest training sessions: their sturdy and hard-wearing materials make the earphones insensitive to strong vibrations, for example during jogging. They can also withstand cold and moisture: their fiber-reinforced cable still remains soft and flexible even at frigid temperatures. An innovative protection system against moisture not only effectively repels sweat but also protects the internal components of the earphones against rain water. After a training session, the earphones can simply be rinsed off under the tap.
The CX 680 is part of the Sennheiser/adidas sport line. The four new headphones will be dispatched to Sennheiser sales partners and adidas Sport Performance stores in January 2010.
