Ever forget your phone charger and no one around has the same kind of handset? Have a drawer full of useless old phone chargers at home? Breathe a sigh of relief. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations’ telecom arm, said on Thursday it had given its stamp of approval “to an energy-efficient one-charger-fits-all new mobile phone solution. “Every mobile phone user will benefit from the new Universal Charging Solution (UCS), which enables the same charger to be used for all future handsets, regardless of make and model,” the ITU said in a statement. “Some manufacturers are already incorporating the UCS in their devices,” an ITU spokesman said. The association hopes a universal charger will help reduce waste by cutting down on the number of chargers produced and then thrown away with the purchase of a new handset. There are already more than 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions around the world.

Location, Location, Location. And I don’t mean that like movie directors do but from a mobile maniac’s perspective, this particular aspect has become a rather integral part of the Social Networking slash mobile-toting, traveling, techie. It seems like it’s vital to everyone these days for techies not only to let the world know what it is they’re doing from time to time, but where they’re doing it. Of course it’s not just services that let you know where you are but those that also help you find your way. GPS software to be more precise and especially those that don’t cost you an arm to buy and subsequently pay yearly fees for updated maps.

Sennheiser is a frequent guest in our labs, with so many of their products being covered last year. They keep innovating, got to give them that. Now today we have a special headphone by them, designed and marketed for the iPhone, but of course they can be used with other devices too. It’s called the MM60 iPhone. They also have a model called the MM60 Nokia, which we’re assuming will be similar in performance. So let’s see what these mobile phone oriented headphones are capable of.
Design
A classic supra-aural design, these sit on the pinna of the ear, but don’t engulf them. They are not at all heavy, but not flimsy too, I like the build quality. Though one point has to be made here: by virtue of their design itself, it’s not that perfect for a commute, at least not as much as in-ear canalphones would be. The color scheme is black with metallic lead colored frames. The round earpads are covered with regular black foam, something that will tear off after hard use, but that cannot be avoided. 
The headband is slim, and consists of a metallic strip covered outlined by the black body that extends all the way down to the earpieces. The contours on the surfaces, the slick Sennheiser logo on the headband, neat padding on its under side etc. are all factors that make this unit look really good.The design is foldable, thus easily carryable, plus included is a stout little hard plastic carry case. The cord is modular, with an extension bundled up specially created for use with an iPhone, and contains the  4-poled, 3.5mm stereo plug ideal for Apple’s iPhone (all generations) and iPod. There is a mic to speak during a call and a dedicated call answer switch - all this is incorporated in the extension cord.
The frequency response of the headphones is 15 – 27,000 Hz, Impedance is 32 ? and Sound pressure level (SPL) is 96 dB.  The omnidirectional mic’s frequency response is 80 – 15,000 Hz, while the Impedance is 2.2 K?.

Sennheiser has introduced three new series of headphones, the CX II, IE and MM series.

The CX II range includes noise-isolating, in–ear canal headphones, with bass-driven stereo sound. The series in the Street, Sport, Gaming, Travel and Style lines guarantee a unique sound experience and exclusive design and colors.
