You can also stream your music wirelessly to certain DAC/amplifier devices, such as the Sony MAP-S1, using, for example, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® or DLNA technology.

Noise cancellation

Your device supports noise cancelling headsets. By using a noise cancelling headset with your device, you can get much clearer audio quality when listening, for example, to music in a noisy environment, such as on a bus, a train or a plane. You can also use this feature to create a silent environment in which to study, work or read.

To ensure optimal performance, noise cancelling headsets from Sony are recommended.
