Sony has launched the MDR-1000X noise cancelling headphones. The 1000X comes with a ‘Personal NC Optimiser’ function. The 1000X also showcases for the first time ‘Quick Attention’ mode that lets you place the palm of your hand to the outside of the headphone ear cup to have a conversation with someone, without taking the headset off.
These are also the first headphones with the DSEE HX built in to upscale compressed music from any source to near High-Resolution Audio sound quality, even in wireless mode. The headphones also feature upgraded filtering process, optimised dual noise sensor technology, and newly developed ear pads.
The headphones feature a ‘Quick Attention’ mode that ensure you never miss a word spoken to you when wearing these headphones. It’s instantly activated by simply placing your hand on the side of the headphone housing to allow natural sound to flow straight through it. “This means that you don’t have to remove the headphones to hear what’s happening apart from your music. You won’t even have to miss the flight attendants drink order on an airplane,” said the company.
Sony has removed the need for a wired connection while ensuring the same great sound quality but without the worry of getting tangled up in wires. Bluetooth technology lets you quickly connect to your phone or music player. Adding to the list of features to make sure you have the highest quality listening experience is LDAC and the S-Master HX.
The 1000X wireless and noise cancelling headphones offer a 20 hour battery life. “These headphones have been designed with the style conscious traveller in mind. They are as good to wear as they are to look at. With a swivel and folding structure, the 1000X can be stowed away in your bag in an instant, ready to jet off to your next destination,” said the company. Available in two colours, black or gray beige, the new 1000X headphones come with their own durable leather case.
