Based on proprietary InAir innovative personal audio technology, the new AirDrives for iPhone provides superior comfort, fit, and sound quality along with a high performance microphone which also serves as a send/end button for answering and terminating calls.

Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz, commented, “In the six months since its release, Apple’s iPhone is indisputably one of the most sought after consumer products worldwide and Mad Catz believes its innovative AirDrives headphones enhance the utility of this leading-edge platform.

Combining voice capability with AirDrives’ existing technology allows users the seamless integration of music selections, conversations and their surroundings. We look forward to bringing this virtual communication experience to consumers throughout 2008.”
