Every Subtle Note Precisely Reproduced
A powerful 40mm driver, with an aluminium-coated, Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragm, handles the heaviest beats with the utmost precision. Inside the driver, two high-energy neodymium magnets vibrate to produce sound with enhanced impedance to deliver a high quality performance.
Dynamic 40mm drivers respond quickly to precisely reproduce vocals and mid-high range notes, while large vents help deliver punchy, rhythmic bass.
Consistent Sound Across The Frequency Range
The aluminum-coated LCP diaphragm gives a more consistent and precise sound across the entire frequency range than conventional LCP drivers. Sound energy lost during transmission to the headphone housing is more uniform, to ensure a truly authentic performance. You'll also enjoy a flatter frequency response, even when listening to High-Resolution Audio.
Music As The Artist Intended
High-Resolution Audio takes you closer to the original studio recording by converting analogue music to digital at a higher rate than CD (24bit/192kHz, rather than 16bit/44.1kHz). While CDs and MP3s top out around 20kHz, High-Resolution Audio supports frequencies above 24kHz (as high as 100kHz on this model).
S-Master Audio Amplifier
Unlike conventional amplifiers that convert sound to analogue before amplifying, Sony’s S-Master Full Digital Amplifiers use a fully digital process that successfully avoids distortion and ensures your music sounds just like the original recording.
Digital Sound Enhancement Engine
Enjoy full, rich audio playback. Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) offers natural, spacious sound by restoring the depth and detail lost in the audio compression process.
Touch, Tap And Swipe For Music
Touch sensor control allows you to simply touch the earpads to stop or play tracks. Swipe left and right for previous and next track;
trace and stop for scanning back and forth through your music; or swipe up and down to adjust volume.
All essential functions are at your fingertips, so you never need search for controls on your device.
Up To 30 Hours Of Wireless Music
Enjoy up to 30 hours of wireless playback for non-stop music on the go and up to 200 hours of standby mode when fully charged.
And when the battery runs low, simply connect the supplied Micro USB cable to recharge the built-in lithium-ion battery.
