Sony offers new headsets with in-line remote control for iPod/iPhone

There’s now a choice of four high-quality headsets from Sony to maximise enjoyment of listening to your iPod or iPhone.

Joining the currently-available MDR-EX38iP, the new DR-EX300iP, DR‑V150iP and MDR-E10iP offer a serious step-up in sound quality compared with your music player’s supplied earbuds.

What’s more, all models feature an in-line remote control that puts commonly-used iPod/iPhone functions within fingertip reach while you’re jogging, commuting or relaxing. The small, discreet remote makes it easy to adjust volume, play/pause, skip tracks and control iPod Shuffle’s unique VoiceOver function. As an extra bonus, there’s an integrated microphone that lets iPhone users chat hands-free.

With a choice of colours, designs and in-ear or over-the-ear wear styles, there’s now a ‘made for iPod’ headset to suit every music lover. All models are compatible with iPod Shuffle (3rd generation); iPod Nano (4th, 5th generations); iPod Classic 120GB/160GB (2009); iPod Touch (2nd generation); iPhone 3GS.

DR-EX300iP

A dramatic step-up from your music player’s supplied earbuds, the DR-EX300iP delivers refined, studio-quality sound in a compact, in-ear headphone.

The innovative design features a 13.5mm Neodymium driver unit that’s oriented vertically in the ear. This combination teams excellent sensitivity with smooth, powerful bass and a wide dynamic range. A secure fit is assured by four sizes of supplied hybrid silicone earbuds, giving excellent sound isolation and extra-comfortable wear – even for extended listening periods.

The DR-EX300iP comes supplied with a genuine leather carry case for storage and transportation.

Away from dance floor, it delivers equally commanding sonic performance with your iPod or iPhone. Deep bass and generous power handling are assured by the 30mm ferrite driver. There’s a large adjustable headband for fatigue-free wear during the longest DJ set, while reversible earcups allow convenient ‘single-sided’ monitoring when you’re behind the decks.
