Features
Industry-leading noise cancelation
The noise-canceling technology in the WI-1000XM2 is the most advanced ever in wireless neckband headphones, thanks to the power of our HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. So you can lose yourself completely in your music.
More noise captured with Dual Noise Sensor Technology
Dual microphones—one feed-forward and one feed-back—on the surface of the headphones catch more of the ambient sounds of your surroundings, whether it’s in-flight noise, city traffic or office chatter.
More noise canceled with HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1
Having caught the ambient sound, the dedicated HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 gets to work. It not only cancels significantly more noise across almost all frequencies, but it also uses less power.
Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing
Our noise canceling is made to fly with Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing. Enjoy in-flight entertainment with noise canceling optimized for high altitude.
HD Hybrid Driver System
Sound is optimized across frequencies with the HD Hybrid Driver System. The 9-mm dynamic driver, custom-designed for the WI-1000XM2, provides deep bass and clear mids, while the matched Balanced Armature driver reproduces delicate, natural high tones.
The power your music deserves
The multi-talented HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 combines Digital Noise Cancelation, 32-bit Audio Signal Processing and a Digital-to-Analog converter with headphone amplifier. The result? Stunningly clear sound.
Truly authentic sound with High-Resolution Audio
Hear music that stays true to the original recording with High-Resolution Audio. For everyday listening, the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX™) upscales compressed digital music files, bringing them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio.
A snug, stable fit with angled earphone design
With an angled shape, the earphones sit deeper and more securely in the ear for a stable, comfortable fit. Even when walking around, they won’t slip out unexpectedly.
Light and comfortable silicone neckband
Keep listening in comfort with a lightweight neckband design made from flexible silicone that's easy to store in a bag or case.
Up to 10 hours of listening
No need to worry about battery life on the go. With up to 10 hours of battery life, the music just keeps on playing.
Up to 80 minutes on quick charge
If your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charge gives you up to 80 minutes of play time.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
The Sony | Headphones Connect app offers Adaptive Sound Control, a smart function that automatically detects what you’re up to—such as traveling, walking, or waiting—then adjusts ambient sound settings to suit the situation. You can also customize the settings to your preferences.
