Product Features

Noise cancelling beyond compare

Never before have Sony headphones so effectively controlled noise. Latest features and techniques enable the MDR-1000X to provide noise cancellation. Low frequency vehicle noise and mid to high frequency sound including voices have been reduced with the MDR-1000X compared to our previous Sony noise cancelling model.

Noise, tackled and tamed

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.

Take control of sound with Sense Engine. Hear only what you want to hear and nothing else. Sense Engine gives you the freedom to tune in and out of your music at a touch.

Stay immersed and catch every word

Listen to your music without distraction while still catching important messages and announcements.

Turn down the music for a conversation

Talk without taking your headphones off. Place one hand over the housing to instantly decrease music volume.

Optimises and adjusts to you

These headphones analyse your personal characteristics and wearing style, then optimise sound for you.

Stay immersed, yet aware

Hear essential everyday sounds such as traffic while listening to your music in the background.

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.
