industry-leading noise cancellation*
integrated processor V1
Specially developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 unlocks the full potential of our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. This unique combination delivers unprecedented noise cancelling quality by controlling 8 microphones, bringing about three major industry breakthroughs:
x
1. Improved Noise Cancelling
performance
The chip’s improved processing power has enabled noise cancelling processing with low delay against noise, and improved noise cancellation performance in the high-frequency range where lower delay processing is required.
2. Smaller size
Achieved by integrating Bluetooth SoC and high-quality noise-cancelling processor into a single chip.
3. Low power consumption
The industry's highest level of noise cancellation has been achieved while reducing power consumption.
Auto Noise Cancelling Optimizer
Noise-cancelling performance is automatically optimised based on your wearing condition and external environmental factors such as atmospheric pressure.
Personal Noise Cancelling Optimizer analyses your personal characteristics such as your ear or head shape, with or without glasses, and adjusts noise-cancelling performance automatically.
Atmospheric Pressure Optimizer, designed specifically for air travel by detecting and automatically adjusting to changes in atmospheric pressure at high altitudes.
EXCEPTIONAL CALLS
