Sennheiser will release the company's first aptX Adaptive compatible complete wireless earphone "CX Plus True Wireless" from Tuesday, September 28th. The price is open, but it is expected to sell at around 21,780 yen including tax. Reservations and in-store displays will begin today, September 14th. New product of the completely wireless earphone "CX series" developed by the company with the first aptX Adaptive compatible and noise canceling. Continuing from the previous model "CX True Wireless", it is equipped with a 7mm dynamic driver equivalent to "MOMENTUM True Wireless 2", and newly supports the active noise canceling (ANC) function. Another major feature of this unit is that it supports the aptX Adaptive codec. This is the company's first aptX Adaptive support, and supports high-quality sound transmission up to 24bit. Regarding this, the company said, "The next stage of Sennheiser sound. There is a possibility that it can bring out sound quality that surpasses True Wireless 2 by combining it with compatible devices." In addition, by installing a chip made by Qualcomm (the model number of SoC is not disclosed), it supports not only aptX Adaptive but also the simultaneous left and right transmission technology "True Wireless Mirroring". Regarding connection stability during transmission, aptX Adaptive's automatic adjustment function for transfer data according to congestion and connection conditions enables "connected" high-quality sound playback with lower delays and fewer interruptions than conventional models. Emphasize that it is possible. It is said that it will provide a feeling of use that makes high-quality sound a matter of course in everyday life, regardless of location. Regarding the ANC function installed, it is said that it is "a natural effect without a feeling of pressure, and it is a presence that emphasizes the original sound", and advocates the concept of focusing on noise canceling and not neglecting sound quality. The combination of ANC and passive noise isolation by the housing part of the housing delivers high-quality sound from crisp lows to delicate highs without worrying about ambient sounds. On the other hand, it also has an external sound capture function so that you can hear the surrounding sounds. By operating the touch panel, in addition to basic operations such as play/stop and track forwarding, ANC and external sound capture functions can be switched on/off. As telework is adopted as a lifestyle, call performance is also emphasized. In addition to accurately capturing the voice of the speaker with two beamforming microphones on one side, a total of four beamforming microphones, as in the previous model, the Qualcomm chip installed in this model suppresses ambient noise and voice echo to reduce call voice. We are planning to deliver it to the other party clearly. In addition, by supporting the sidetone function that allows you to listen to your own voice and surrounding environmental sounds even when wearing earphones, you can talk with the other party with an appropriate volume. By using one side independently, it is possible to use one ear while charging the other while talking on the phone. In terms of other functions, you can equalize the sound using the "Smart Control" application compatible with iOS / Android. Three presets, "Bass Boost", "Movie" and "Podcast" are also available, and the adjusted data can be reflected in the earphones. It also supports sidetone adjustment during calls and customization of touch controls. The playback time is up to 8 hours with the earphones alone, and up to 24 hours with the charging case. It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge, but it also supports quick charging that can be used for 1 hour with 10 minutes of charging. Bluetooth supports Ver.5.2, codec supports SBC/AAC/aptX in addition to aptX Adaptive. In addition, the main unit is IPX4 drip-proof, and is designed to be resistant to sweat. The weight is 6g on one side of the earphone and 35g on the case. A USB-C charging cable and earpieces (XS/S/M/L) are included. Two color variations are available: black and white. As mentioned above, the black model will be released on September 28th, and it has been announced that the white model will be released in mid-October.
