    Overview

    Sony has been an industry leader in audio for decades; and this offering is the culmination of decades of research, design and technology. Award winning active noise-cancelling technology works with a comfortable design and soft faux-leather ear cups to give you a unique experience. Wireless Bluetooth technology allows for easy wireless streaming from your smartphone so that you never have to hassle with cables or cords.

    Hi-Res Audio ready, this unit can support playback of lossless, ultra-high resolution music, so that you hear every beat and breath. DSEE HX upscaling built-in will process your lower quality tunes and digitally increase the quality to take full advantage of these headphones. Touch and gesture control makes this unit intuitive to use.
    Wireless Design

    Wireless design makes it easy to take these headphones out and about. The built-in battery provides hours of easy music streaming without the hassle of cables.

    Active Noise-Cancelling

    Active noise-cancelling technology examines noises in your environment in real-time and immediately creates sound waves that ‘cancel’ outside sound. A great choice for travellers, commuters or for people looking for an undisturbed music experience.

    Over-Ear Design

    The over-ear design of these headphones blocks external noise and allows you to immerse yourself in your music. Over-ear headphones have more physical space for the drivers that power your music, which generally gives you more natural sounds and greater bass.

    Foldable Design

    Having great quality sound everywhere should be easy and that’s why the simple, foldable design of these headphones make them a great choice if you’re space-conscious.

    Just the business!
    Bought these just before Christmas and I was not disappointed, they are excellent. The noise cancelling is superb, i use these on a noisey commute and they shut out the bus engine noise and the passengers brilliantly. Overall sound quality is top notch, they are really comfortable to wear for long periods and the battery life is excellent.

    HD Noise Cancellation King
    An absolutely brilliant set of headphones which has amazed everyone. The features such as acoustic modes and using the microphones to 'hear' are fantastic on their own. Adding high-definition audio playback AND noise cancellation to these headphones however puts them into a new playing field, where they're the king. 24-bit/48KHz HD audio from the iPhone to these with NC on and you're in your own, private, world hearing nothing but pure audio, the noise around you gone, and you notice sounds you've never heard in albums you've listened to for decades. Beautiful, rich, defined audio as good as or better than Sennheiser's efforts and puts the processed sound of the Bose to shame. Wired these are as good as if not better than their competition as well. These are simply amazing headphones producing wonderful audio and tuning the world out at the same time.

    Definitely worth the money
    Amazing product. Produces great highs and overall sound is AWESOME. Battery life was allways a concern when looking to purchase my first wireless headphones, however the battery life on these are very long lasting. It is a little pricey, but those who would want to enjoy the sound of their music will find it an investment rather than a purchase. One flaw - ear cups are not replaceable.
