Sennheiser to Show Sound Bar With Ambeo 3D, Gorilla Glass Headphones at CES

Sennheiser is stepping out of its comfort zone at CES, previewing a sound bar based on its Ambeo 3D technology, it said Monday. The sound bar creates a “you are there” experience without the need for additional components or a subwoofer, Sennheiser said. The company also is expanding its wireless headphone line with the CX 6.00 BT in-ear headphones. It’s pitching the CX 6.00 BT to gamers, with Qualcomm’s Bluetooth aptX and support for aptX Low Latency that’s said to boost the gaming experience by keeping visuals and sound “in perfect sync.” Price is $99 with January availability, said the company. Getting back to its audiophile roots, Sennheiser also is launching the $2,399 HD 820 headphones. The closed-back stereo headphones are said to achieve “transparent sound” resulting from a Gorilla glass transducer cover that minimizes resonances to produce a natural sound field, it said.
