Sony Interactive Entertainment abbreviated as SIE and formerly known as Sony Computer Entertainment SCE and Sony Network Entertainment is a multinational video.Not only does Sony claim that its made the noise cancelling on the new 1.X headphones more powerful, but its also more adaptable thanks to improved ambient noise control as well as Sonys so called Sense Engine.The ambient noise control essentially means youve got different settings so you can block out loud sounds but still hear voices, for instance.The Sense Engine actually uses feedback microphones on the inside and outside of the ear cups as well as a new atmospheric pressure sensor to offer personalized noise cancelling thats especially great on airplanes.I have not used the new 1.X headphones on an airplane, but all the buzzwords sound neat.Next, theres the sound and design.While Sony doesnt mention any big improvements to the audio hardware in its announcement, the company does talk a lot about the accompanying app.As with other wireless headphones in this class, the new Sony app offers a built in equalizer as well as different preprogrammed scenarios, like outdoor concert or sound studio.One new feature called Listening Position, lets you control which direction you want the sound to come from.So if youre sitting down with a friend to the left and you want to move the music to your right, you can with two taps in the app.All these tricks, and Sony says the new 1.X headphones have a battery life of 3.And last, the price.The original MDR 1.X were 4. 00.
