Plantronics’ innovative new MX100s headphones are rapidly gaining widespread critical and consumer accreditation for their contribution to the iPod accessory market.

In keeping with countless other iPod-compatible headphones available, the MX100s are on a primary level, equally as comfortable, tasteful and durable as their counterparts.

Plantronics’ Flex Grip design provides an exceptional stability to Apple’s MP3 player as well as a snug fitting, whilst its AcuSpeak technology permits audio to remain clear and constant in almost any surroundings.

The headphones also maintain iPod’s iconic colour consistency with an iPod-white casing and instantly identifiable white wires. Three interchangeable colour covers are also available should the owner dare be different.

However, the real innovative design with the MX100s is that they can be connected to mobile phones simultaneously with Apple iPods.

This, quite simply, means that if whilst listening to the iPod, your phone rings, all you need do is flick a switch and the headphones switch directly to your mobile phone’s audio.

A small microphone hangs from one headphone and picks up sound easily and efficiently allowing problem-free conversation.

Plantronics’ MX100s headphones are certainly inventive but they are also useful and practical and, retailing from just over £20, could be set to be a huge success story in the near future.
