The HD1 Wireless Special Edition includes the aptX codec while the hybrid active NoiseGard attenuates ambient noise. Conversations are enabled by the built-in VoiceMax microphone.

Sennheiser appears to be having some real problems producing and delivering this item. I ordered it back when it first became available. Since that time, they have delayed it three times, and recently finally cancelled my order citing some supply chain problems. Who knows if they will ever actually get it out. This was the first time I really wanted to splurge for a high end item from this company and I am completely disappointed in their customer service. To try an appease all the customers that held off on buying other products while waiting over 6 months they offered a pair of wired earbuds which they valued at 3 times their actual retail value. I have still not received those earbuds. This experience has really made me lose faith in this company.
