Product details

Bass you're gonna love: EXTRA BASS amplifies all low frequencies and gives your songs a thundering rhythm. Simply press the bass effect button.
The outside world is muted. Digital noise reduction blocks ambient noise so you can hear more detail on every track. Now it's just you and your music. Long cable-free listening experience: Listen to up to 22 hours of wireless music via Bluetooth, even with EXTRA BASS activated and noise minimisation switched on. Set the ideal sound for each song. Using the Sony Headphones Connect App, you can customise your bass levels or select one of the presets for sound like on an open-air stage, in a club, concert hall or stadium.
