Sony introduces WH-1000XM3 headphones, Next-level Noise Cancellation |Geekschicksten

Sony brings in the WH-1000XM3 headphones!, the newest addition to the highly-accredited Sony 1000X family. This headband-style around ear model offers all the much-loved features while adding multiple key improvements including upgraded Noise Cancelling performance to enhance your listening and user experience.

Block more ambient sound

Thanks to Sony’s industry-leading Noise Cancellation technologies, Listen with next level silence. The 1000XM3’s benefit from a newly developed HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 which has approximately four times greater performance than the previous processor. This newly-developed component not only negate transport noise like its predecessor, but also further cancels out daily background sounds. It also features Dual Noise Sensor technology that captures ambient noise with dual microphones and then passes the sound data to the processor to cancel the noise.

These headphones are made for travel, as their Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing feature allows the Noise Cancelling performance to adapt specifically to high altitude by using sensors to detect the air pressure around you and optimize the Noise Cancelling accordingly.

Premium, superior sound
These headphones deliver exquisite High-Resolution Audio with a 40mm driver unit with a Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragm that handles heavy beats and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40kHz. This enables you to enjoy listening to your music exactly how the artist intended.

The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 also realizes stunning high sound quality with 32-bit Audio Signal Processing and the combination of DAC with Amplifier functionality. This offers exceptionally high sound quality, best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio, and low distortion for portable devices.

Smart listening
The activity recognition feature, Adaptive Sound Control, detects your physical situation. With 3 auto mode-changes for the 1000XM3’s, you can hear all ambient sounds together with music when walking, hear announcements as well as your music when waiting and be immersed in music with Noise Cancellation when travelling by train or bus.

This smart listening experience is enabled by the SENSE ENGINE™ . You can customize to your experience with the Sony | Headphones Connect app.

Customize your sound
Quick Attention Mode lets you hear what’s going on around you without taking your headphones off. Place your right hand over the right housing to decrease music volume instantly, which allows you to quickly respond to those around you. There are other ways to control the sound too - swipe the touchpad on the right housing to turn the volume up/down or to change track.

Another improvement is the Customizable Automatic Power Off function on the companion Headphones Connect app, which means the headphones can stay on and in Noise Cancellation mode without being connected to a device - perfect if you want noise reduction without listening to music.

Easy, practical, comfortable
The 1000XM3’s has a new, slimmer silhouette and are lighter in weight than their predecessor. They are very comfortable to wear, thanks to a deeper earcup and a thicker headband cushion. They feel good whilst looking good! They also come with a stylish fabric case which will satisfy the fashion-conscious and new, eye-catching colour options of black or platinum silver with gold highlights.

Besides offering 30 hours of battery life with Noise Cancelling and BLUETOOTH® connection, the 1000XM3 headphones have an upgraded Quick Charging function that provides five hours of wireless playback after a mere ten minutes of charging via a contemporary USB type-C™ port.

Voice calls are also made clearer, with the introduction of multiple microphones, ideal for hands-free conversations.

The WH-1000XM3 will be available in the Philippines from September 2018!
