Noise Cancelling Beyond Compare
The MDR-1000X provides industry-leading noise cancellation. It reduces mid to high frequency voices and low frequency vehicle noises to take you in a world of musical serenity.
Noise Tackled and Tamed
New high sensitivity drivers efficiently filter out unwanted noise while Dual Noise Sensor technology uses internal and external microphones to detect and offset ambient sound. Close fitting urethane foam earpads surround your ear and lock out distractions.
World In. World Out with SENSE ENGINE
With the SENSE ENGINE technology now you can hear only what you want to hear and nothing else. It gives you the freedom to tune in and out of your music at a touch.
Truly Authentic Sound Hear music that stays true to the original recording with High-Resolution Audio. Optimised for High-Resolution Audio, S-Master HXTM reduces distortion and allows you to enjoy all the subtleties in your music.
These headphones also include a powerful 40 mm driver with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragm for handling heavy beats, and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40 kHz.
Restore All Your Compressed FilesThe Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX) upscales compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC and WMA) and takes them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the high-range sound lost in compression, DSEE HX produces your digital music files in rich, natural sound.
High Quality Wireless Listening With LDAC
LDAC transmits approximately three times more data (at the maximum transfer rate: 990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth® Audio, which allows you to enjoy High-Resolution Audio content in exceptional sound quality close to High-Resolution Audio.
Luxurious leather Soft synthetic leather on the housing and earpads give a luxurious look and feel. Designed to fit securely over your ears for hours of comfortable listening.
Ready to travel
Swivel folding earcups make it easy to store your headphones in a suitcase, bag or the supplied carrying case while travelling.
