MH907 - World's First Motion Sensing Headset form Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson's released the worlds first motion sensing headset, the MH907. Now the headsets function as usual and the extra functions provided by the senseme technology in it is that while the headphones are plugged into your ears, they play music or attend calls.

So, if u haven't plugged them on to your ears, they wont attend calls unnecessarily or wont keep playing the tracks.
This is achieved through a capacitive sensing technology.

The other attractions to this headset are:

• built-in microphone
• FM antenna
• sound blocking
• stereo sound

Available in yellow/white and titan chrome shades. Compatible with Sony Ericsson phones with Fast Port connector. Personally i dont find much use with this headset, but i think it might save some battery backup by turning down the tracks when not listened to. But a single click on the pause will do the job too... :-)
