SOUND QUALITY
Your sound, just how you like it
Tailor sound to your personal preference by choosing from a variety of pre-sets to match sound quality with the genre of music you're listening to. Or create and save your own pre-sets using the EQ Custom feature on the Sony¦Headphones Connect app.
Make your music more natural
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that's closer to the original recording.
360 Spatial Sound Personalizer
With the Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app, you'll enjoy a sound experience that's optimised for you. The app captures and analyses your ear shape, allowing these headphones to create your own personal spatial sound field when paired with BRAVIA XR™ TVs.
Dolby Atmos Experience
With a Sony WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter connected to a BRAVIA XR™ TV, your headphones create the ideal arrangement of phantom speakers all around you so you can enjoy a Dolby Atmos experience. Be immersed in the scene and feel right at the heart of the action.
EVERYDAY USE(BATTERY & CONNECTIVITY)
