Sennheiser Communications Headsets Approved for TCO Label With a Special Mention for Patented Technology That Protects Hearing


COPENHAGEN, September 3 /PRNewswire/ --     Seven of Sennheiser Communications' headsets have been certified and
approved under the ergonomic and environmental label TCO'07. Sennheiser
Communications' range of call centre and office headsets - the BW 900, SH
300, SH 330, SH 350, CC 510, CC 520 - and the Bluetooth headset VMX 100, have
now earned the right to bear the Swedish quality label based on their
usability, performance and low environmental impact. TCO specifically
recognised Sennheiser's patented ActiveGard(TM), technology that protects the
user's hearing from high-pitched sounds and sudden surges in sound level.

Perhaps because many of TCO's testers are occupational health experts
they felt the Sennheiser Communications headsets deserved a special mention
for protecting people's hearing so effectively. And the high sound quality
can also contribute to reducing the environmental impact of Sennheiser
Communications' headsets. Jan Rudling, Managing Director of TCO Development,
explains:

"Headsets with high sound quality are essential for good telephone and
video conferences, which help decrease travel and in turn, CO(2) emissions.
This means the TCO label makes it easier for consumers to select a headset
that stands for good quality for both user and the environment."



Sennheiser Communications designs products with the user and modern
working environment in mind

TCO's labelling helps the user spot high quality and
environmentally-friendly products. As Guido Karbautzki, Sennheiser
Communications' Head of Sales & Marketing Communications, explains, "It's
great that TCO agrees our headsets are comfortable, safe and meet the demands
of the modern working environment. With the TCO certification, our customers
will know they're looking at a quality headset before they've even taken it
out of the box."

TCO '07 sets quality and environmental standards internationally

The TCO label is found throughout the world. Aiming to influence the
development of office products, the TCO labelling system promotes
user-friendliness and low environmental impact. TCO'07, the standard specific
to headsets, ensures that a product protects users from hazardous impulse
noise and guarantees that the headset is durable, ergonomic and easy to use.
