Sennheiser has launched its Sports II line of headphones, five new personal headsets built for those active types among you.

Both sweat and water-resistant, and ski-rated to -10 degrees, the new collection has been built specifically for sports activities, and designed to be washed after use.

The range starts with the MX 80 Sport II and the MX 85 Sport II for £25 and £35 respectively. The former features the Sennheiser Basswind system for powerful base response, while the latter a "twist to fit" system for an extra secure fit.

Next up is the OMX 80 Sport II and PMX 80 Sport II for £35 each. The OMX 80 are classic stereo clip on headphones with flexible earhooks, while the PMX 80 features a back-band design popular with runners.

Finally the CX 380 Sport II headphones come in at the top of the range at £50. These boast a high-performance, noise-isolating ear canal design with different soft silicone eartips that you can change to fit.

All of the designs come with a cable clip and carrying pouch and are available in orange, with the OMX 80 available in an additional blue.

The range is due for release before the summer, but head over to the Sennheiser website for more details.
