    Overview

    Award winning active noise-cancelling technology works with a comfortable design and silicone earbuds to give you an excellent audio experience with the Sony Neckband Headphones. Adaptive Sound Control, adjusted through the Sony Connect App, allows you to manage how much ambient sound is let in. By detecting the level of external noise around you, along with your movement, Adaptive Noise Cancelling can completely isolate ambient sound or allow some sounds to be heard, such as the rumble of cars. 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. Comfortable in-ear design gives you great bass response and a comfortable fit for long-term use. The compact design of these headphones make them ideal for commuting, and can be effortlessly stored when not in use.
    NFC and Bluetooth

    You’ll never worry about connectivity again. NFC and Bluetooth technology make it easy to wirelessly share your music. Using NFC, you can connect your device to this unit with one-touch, for easy audio streaming.

    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.

    Hi-Res Audio

    With Hi-Res Audio technology built-in, you can play ultra-high quality uncompressed audio. Take full advantage of this unit’s capabilities thanks to the Hi-Res audio support.

    Marvellous!
    Bought as a replacement for a Bose product and absolutely delighted with the choice. Fantastic sound quality, comfortable & excellent noise cancelling abilities. Expensive but worth the extra.

    Quality Neckbuds
    They could be classed as ‘expensive’, but then, you tend to get what you pay for. These are a quality product. The neck band is very comfortable and hardly noticeable, as is the fit in the ears. They are easy to connect via Bluetooth and can also be used via a wired connection. The sound quality is excellent, and they have various really good noise cancelling settings. The app works very well and can be used to make many adjustments to the sound, the sound direction and noise cancelling settings. Battery life is very good. Overall, for me, they are well worth the cost.

    Very good but not perfect for me
    I upgraded from a pair of MDR-EX750 which I really liked but wanted Bluetooth connection because I use an iPhone 8. The sound quality is much improved and the app is a very useful add on which works very well. The downside is that the 1000x simply don’t fit my ears as comfortably as the EX750. To make them comfortable I lose some of the effectiveness of the noise cancelling. Having read the reviews I expect it may simply come down to the shape of your ears. I am prepared to live with the compromise. The noise cancelling is good enough, the sound quality is excellent and the convenience of Bluetooth and the build quality are top class. The most expensive headphones I have bought by quite some way, but overall I’m very pleased and would recommend.
