Sony launches new soundbar, wireless earbuds
SONY PHILIPPINES has launched its latest wireless earphones and soundbar in the country.
Sony’s WF-1000XM5 truly wireless earbuds and HT-S2000 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar are now available in the Philippines, the brand said in separate statements last week.
The WF-1000XM5 is available for pre-order for P16,999 through select Sony Authorized Dealers nationwide and in its Lazada and Shopee stores until Aug. 24. All pre-orders come with a free wireless charger.
It is the latest edition of its 1000x series earphones and offers noise cancellation and better call quality, Sony said.
“The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Real-time audio processors and high-performance mics power the specially designed driver unit Dynamic Driver X, for wide frequency reproduction, deep bass, and clear vocals. They are designed to immerse you in a sound so good, it feels like you’re in the studio with your favorite artists,” it added.
The WF-1000XM5 has three microphones on each earbud for better low-frequency cancellation performance. Its new Dynamic Driver X also improves the ability to reproduce lower frequencies, while its noise isolation earbud tips, made of polyurethane foam material, help reduce noise in the high frequency range.
“By combining Sony’s newly developed HD Noise Canceling Processor QN2e and Integrated Processor V2, the WF-1000XM5 incorporates precision 24-bit audio processing and high-performance analogue amplification. The result is low distortion and crystal-clear audio reproduction. Additionally, the earbuds feature 360 Reality Audio, which creates an immersive audio experience that transports you into the center of the music,” Sony added.
The WF-1000XM5 earbuds also have head tracking technology and feature an AI-based noise reduction algorithm based on Deep Neutral Network processing and bone conduction sensors.
For improved comfort, the earbuds are modelled after the human ear and are approximately 25% smaller and approximately 20% lighter than their predecessor (WF-1000XM4). The earbuds also come in four different sizes for the perfect fit.
The WF-1000XM5 has eight hours of battery life and is compatible with wireless charging. The earbuds are also water-resistant with an IPX4 rating.
