SENNHEISER JUST MADE IT PERSONAL

If you’re not willing to compromise when it comes to TV sound and a bulky Soundbar is out of the question, then Sennheiser's Flex 5000 might be just the ticket.
Or maybe you want to make your TV listening personal? Sennheiser has developed a digital wireless audio system for headphones that they say, “intensifies TV sound without compromises”.
Irene Strüber, Head of Portfolio Management Audiology at Sennheiser describes this product as:
Flex 5000 is aimed at people who are too experienced to accept bad sound and want a personalized solution that ensures their continued full enjoyment of the TV experience. Flex 5000 offers an innovative and refreshing solution that combines outstanding sound performance, durable, high-quality design and timeless style.
With three different hearing profiles to choose from, the listener can tailor the sound specifically to their preference. Whether it be TV, movies or music, or just adjusting the volume, the Flex 5000 also features a unique Speech Intelligibility button that dynamically reduces TV background noise for crystal clear dialog, making speech easier to understand at a touch.
Supplied with Sennheiser’s MX 475 in-ear headphones, you can also plugin any preferred wired headphones.
The Flex 5000 features a sleek, attractive base station, with high-end design that lets it fit discretely under a TV or be part of a home entertainment system. Simply plug the Optical output from your TV into the base unit, or a 3.5mm stereo cable. Then, plug your headphones into the dongle. Using digital wireless technology like the Sennheiser RS range, it features a 30m range with battery life reported to be up to 12 hours between charges.
The Sennheiser Flex 5000 will be available in April for $349.95 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
