Onkyo’s announces the MHP-UW2 wireless headphones for Apple iPod

Both Gizmodo and CrunchGear picked up on today’s announcement by Onkyo of the release (in Japan) of the MHP-UW2 wireless headphone that come bundled with an adaptor for transmitting audio from either a iPod via 30-pin dock connector as well as through standard 3.5 mm minijack.

When used with the Apple 30-pin dock connector, the headphones also provide remote control of volume and track management, forward, back, etc.  The headphones themselves are a pleasing industrial design that provide comfortable padded earpads, as well as adjustable headband, and folding headband for easy stowage.  Another great feature of these phones is they have a wired option so if you run out of batteries or have a particularly observant flight attendant, you can always plug in and go the traditional route.  Very slick indeed.

Dirty little secret… these headphones will work with other Avnera wireless headphone and headset transmitters like Creative’s or Logitech’s USB dongle for those of you more interested in PC listening.

I speak for myself here, albeit an Avnera employee, that I am very happy to see one of audio’s premier brands, Onkyo, introducing product based on our wireless technology.  With recent announcements by Logitech, Panasonic, Creative, and now Onkyo, you can see that companies with records of building innovative and high quality audio devices are recognizing Avnera’s capabilities.  That these products are high performance and affordable says a lot for the value Avnera is bringing to the industry.  See the many other products Avnera has been designed into by clicking here.
