Noise-Cancelling

Noise is a factor in many of our lifestyles. We hear it in the engine noise of a bus, train

or a plane and even in places such as shopping malls and parks where all sorts of sounds mix.

This background noise can interfere with your audio enjoyment and can still come through even a great set of headphones.

For this reason Sony offer headphones with ‘Noise-Cancelling’ technology. This means that the headphones have microphones built-in to them that can pick up ambient noise and output a signal that effectively ‘neutralises’ or ‘cancels’

the noise out. You can have up to 80% of ambient background noise cut out! more music reaching your ears instead.

In addition to noise-cancelling headphones, the S700 series Walkmans have noise-cancelling technology† built-in. Perfect for those who are serious about sound or simply just want to cut out the clutter.

The S700 Noise cancelling function reduces the ambient noise by up to 75%. It does not cancel all ambient noise.

The microphone used in noise-cancelling technology picks up ambient noise from the background environment and outputs an equal and opposite signal effectively neutralising the sound wave of the noise.

Create your own compilation in the supplied software and the S200 can sense how fast you are running or walking,

and plays the music most appropriate to your step speed.

Shake Shuffle

Using the G-Sensor chip, users can simply switch between ‘normal’ and ‘shuffle’ playback modes by shaking the S200 three times without the need to stop the playback of the music and navigate into the menu. Simple and convenient.

Target Setter / Tracker

Set yourself a challenge:
