Believe it or not, the Sennheiser S1 Digital Headphones are not designed for gaming or music listening; instead, it's for pilots.
BMW Group and Sennheiser are collaborating with one another to bring a new series of aviation headsets for pilots -- in fact, it's the first of its kind. The Sennheiser S1 Digital Headphones will bring both comfort and high-performance to the wearer. The headset features an "inner metal band made of spring steel that ensures a tailored fit on different head shapes and works with a lower contact pressure," according to BMW Group. There's even a glasses zone designed to comfortably accommodate sunglasses. Technical aspects include Bluetooth connectivity, NoiseGard for noise-cancellation and a mouthpiece. Not a bad item to fly with at all.
