Important safety instructions

Important safety instructions

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before using the headset.

Make these instructions easily accessible to all users at all times. Always include these instructions when passing the headset on to third parties.

Only use the headset in aircraft where wireless Bluetooth® transmission is permitted.

Do not use the headset in situations which require special attention (e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs).

Always keep the headset dry and do not expose it to extreme temperatures (normal operating temperatures: 10°C to 35°C).

Use the headset with care and store it in a clean, dust-free environment.

Switch off the headset after use to conserve battery power. Remove the batteries if the headset will not be used for extended periods of time.

The headset contains magnets that generate a magnetic field which could cause dangerous interference with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. Keep the headset at least 1.2” (3 cm) from cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators.

Please protect your hearing from high volume levels. Sennheiser headsets also sound exceptionally good at low volumes.

Only use the supplied mains unit and charging cable.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the device and the mains unit near water and do not expose them to rain or moisture.

Unplug the mains unit from the wall socket

to completely disconnect the device from the mains

during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

Only operate the mains unit from the type of power source specified in the chapter “Specifications” (page 25).

Ensure that the mains unit is

in a safe operating condition and easily accessible,

properly plugged into the wall socket,

only operated within the permissible temperature range,

not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of time in order to prevent heat accumulation (see “Specifications” on page 25).

Do not operate the device and the mains unit near any heat sources.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by Sennheiser.

MM 450

MM 450

The MM 450 headset provides undisturbed music enjoyment in noisy environments – even without the constrictions of cables. Its supra-aural, closed design and the latest active noise compensation technology (NoiseGard) make the MM 450 especially suitable for use with in-flight entertainment systems. Due to its active and passive attenuation of ambient noise, it lets you enjoy music even in noisy environments.

Bluetooth

The MM 450 complies with the new Bluetooth 2.1 standard. Via its Bluetooth interface, it can be connected to a wide variety of Bluetooth enabled devices. Bluetooth wireless technology allows the MM 450 to communicate with your Bluetooth enabled device (e.g. mobile phone, MP3 player, PC or PDA) within a range of up to 10 meters.

NoiseGardTM

The NoiseGard active noise compensation system is based on the principle of cancelling out sound using “anti-sound” (phase-inverted sound). Tiny microphones pick up low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near the ear. The NoiseGard electronics use this noise to generate a sound wave which is the exact opposite (IE: at the same level but polarity reversed – 180° out-of-phase), the effect being that the polarity reversed signal cancels most of the outside noise.

TalkThrough

The MM 450 headset has a TalkThrough function, which allows you to communicate with other people without having to remove the headset. When TalkThrough is activated, professional quality microphones mounted on the outside of the headset pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vicinity. Annoying background noise, e.g. from turbine engines, is electronically filtered out, only allowing the voice of the other person to pass through the headset clearly.

Additional features

Outstanding sound quality due to patented adaptive baffle damping and Duofol diaphragms

Optimum protection against ambient noise due to active and passive noise attenuation

Great for travel: comfortable, rugged and foldable headset construction with single-sided, detachable cable

Without the detachable audio cable, the headset can be used as a passive hearing protector
