Sony announces one of the industry’s best wireless noise cancelling headphones

Sony has released

MDR-1000X

, Some of the best noise-canceling headphones in the industry1. Equipped with a flagship noise-canceling system, these premium headphones offer the most effective background sound cancellation on the market.

New Features

The MDR-1000X expands Sony’s range of wireless noise cancelling headphones and adapts to your personal preferences with Personal NC Optimizer. And the new Quick Attention mode lets you talk to someone without removing your headphones-you simply place your palm to the outside of the earcups to mute the music and hear yourself being addressed. This headphone experience is made possible with the new SENSE ENGINE™ 2 technology

New Sony SENSE ENGINE technology combines unique audio processing and analysis algorithms. This technology delivers high quality transmission of all types of sound, including music and background sound.

And it’s the first headphones with built-in DSEE HX™ processing, giving you the ability to achieve sound quality in compressed music files that’s nearly as good as high-resolution audio files, even when streamed wirelessly.

Impressive technology

The MDR-1000X headphones stand out from the crowd. These headphones incorporate a number of enhancements that make them among the best in the industry, such as signal processing for maximum noise reduction using an upgraded filtering process, optimized dual noise sensor technology, and new earpieces.

The “Personal NC Optimizer” feature automatically analyzes the acoustic parameters of the headphones worn on your head with special test sounds to optimally adjust the noise cancellation system.

Hi-Resolution Audio format ensures that all the nuances in the composer’s music are faithfully reproduced. The use of Sony’s DSEE HX technology also means that any audio files in other formats will play back with a quality as close as possible to the High-Resolution Audio standard.

Easy commuting

These headphones’ Quick Attention mode means you won’t miss a word that’s spoken to you. It activates instantly when you put your hand to the side of the headphone, so you can hear what’s going on around you. No need to remove headphones to hear what’s important to you. You won’t miss a flight attendant serving refreshments on board.

With high noise canceling headphones it’s important to be able to hear what’s going on around you. Ambient Sound mode changes the format of the sound transmission so you can enjoy your music while still hearing the sounds around you, so you can stay in touch with what’s going on. The technology uses built-in microphones that pick up and relay certain sounds from your surroundings. So even when you’re listening to music, you won’t miss your friends’ calls, conversations or coaching instructions.

Sony has eliminated the need for a wired connection to achieve the highest sound quality, so now you can forget about interfering wires. Bluetooth technology allows you to quickly connect to your phone or player. A list of features that ensure supreme sound quality includes LDAC™ and S-Master HX™ 3.

Comfortable listening in any environment

Long hours in the office or library are no problem, with the MDR-1000X noise-canceling wireless headphones and up to 20 hours of battery life. You can take it with you on a long flight without worrying about recharging. This model was created for those who care about style, so it’s not only comfortable to wear, but also looks great. Folding design with swivel cups allows you to quickly stow the headphones in your bag. Available in two colors, black or taupe beige, they come with a durable leather case.
