Sony just launched range of headphones at an event in India that includes headband style WH-1000XM2 and h.ear on 2 Wireless NC (WH-H900N), behind-the-neck style WI-1000X, and the truly wireless WF-1000X earbuds. All these have noise-cancellation technology, but the WH-1000XM2, WI-1000X and WF-1000X come with world’s first Adaptive Sound Control feature, which recognize the user’s actions and automatically switch the noise cancellation feature on or off, in accordance with the usage situation.
“You can choose one of three styles, all of which overcome the inconvenience of having to constantly remove the headphones in order to adjust the volume, instead allowing users to fully immerse themselves in the high-quality audio experience,” said Sony when the headphones were introduced at the IFA.
