Improved noise cancellation performance thanks to an improved algorithm. It cuts out 20%* more everyday noise than the previous model. The addition of a new, high-performance chip has improved the algorithm. It adapts to music, noise, and acoustic characteristics in real time with high accuracy.
Further evolved high-quality sound design - DSEE Extreme - DSEE Extreme uses AI deep learning to analyze music in real time and upscale to the optimal sound. LDAC transmission sound sources and upscaled sound sources using DSEE Extreme can also be adjusted to your preferred sound using the equalizer.
"Speak to Chat" function for conversations; allows you to take in outside sounds according to the situation without removing your headphones
"Adaptive Sound Control" automatically switches between noise canceling and ambient sound capture modes based on the user's behavior. AI switches to the preferred noise canceling and ambient sound capture modes based on the user's frequent locations.
The headphones feature a wear detection function that stops music playback when you simply put them on or take them off.The lightweight design, optimized side pressure and ear pad contact area ensure a comfortable fit even when used for long periods of time.
Charging time: (When NC ON) Up to 30 hours (When NC OFF) Up to 38 hours
Cable length: approx. 1.2m, OFC wire, gold-plated stereo mini plug (headphone cable)
The noise canceling function allows you to immerse yourself in music in quieter surroundings, not only in noisy environments such as on an airplane, but also in busy environments such as on the street or in a cafe.
The highly advanced Bluetooth audio SoC, newly integrated with Sony's proprietary "High-Quality Noise Cancelling Processor QN1," has enabled an evolution in the algorithm, sensing music signals, noise signals, and the acoustic characteristics between the driver and ear more than 700 times per second, and adapting noise cancelling processing in real time.
Compressed audio sources such as MP3, CD, and streaming are analyzed in real time using AI (artificial intelligence) technology that has learned from a vast amount of music data. Optimally upscaling to high-resolution sound quality is performed according to the music genre, instruments, and other aspects of the sound. By reproducing with greater precision the original frequency characteristics of the audio source that are lost through compression, you can enjoy high-quality sound that is full of realism.
Long battery life with plenty of use on a single charge. Up to 30 hours of music playback with noise canceling on, and up to 38 hours with noise canceling off.
It also supports quick charging, which allows you to get 5 hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charging, making it a very convenient feature for when you suddenly need to go out.
The earphones are made of soft, low-resilience urethane material. Compared to the previous model, they conform better to the side of the head, and the wider contact area distributes pressure on the side of the head, resulting in a softer, more comfortable fit. They're comfortable even when listening to music for long periods of time.
The touch sensor control panel on the housing allows you to skip forward/backward, play/pause, adjust the volume, and even answer/end calls on your smartphone or other music player. It also supports activating your smartphone's voice assistant functions, such as Siri and Google apps. You can perform a variety of operations using just the headphones, without having to take out your smartphone.
Even while listening to music, if you want to talk, just speak to pause the music and switch to ambient sound mode, allowing you to start a conversation without using your hands, right while wearing the headphones.
If you remove the headphones while they're playing, the music will automatically pause. The touch sensor will also be temporarily disabled to prevent accidental touch. Music will automatically resume when you put them back on. Furthermore, if you leave the headphones off for about 15 minutes, they will automatically turn off to conserve battery power.
This function temporarily reduces the music volume while you are touching the touch sensor control panel, letting in surrounding sounds to make it easier to hear. This is useful when you want to hear a sudden announcement or when someone is talking to you and you want to be aware of what is happening around you right away.
Enjoy hands-free calling on your smartphone, iPhone, or PC. High-precision voice pickup technology optimally controls five microphones and performs advanced audio signal processing to ensure your voice is clearly heard, even in noisy environments. Furthermore, noise cancellation makes it easier to hear the other person's voice, ensuring comfortable calls even in noisy environments.
