The holiday season always seems to take us by surprise and, come December, we will be frantically searching for suitable gifts for friends and family. This year, make it easier for yourself and start looking for tech gadgets and accessories a earlier with our guide to the best audio specialist Sennheiser has to offer.
Music lovers will enjoy the soon to be released Momentum True Wireless Earbuds, the stylish Ambeo Smart Headset, and the sweat-resistant CX Sport is ideal for sporting types.
Recently, I tried the Ambeo Smart Headset and can happily recommend them. The sound is so much better than the ones I’d been using and they fit so comfortably thanks to a special ear-hook design and look incredibly sleek.
Besides offering unique 3D audio recording capabilities, the smart headphones’ stable fit minimises structure-borne noise. An additional built-in microphone also lets users take calls and operate voice control on their iOS device.
