Assisted control for your Walkman®

With the TalkBack screen reading function1, you can access on-screen functions and information without needing a clear view, or precise touch control on the display. After you turn on the TalkBack screen reader, swiping two fingers up and down will switch the screen and let you read back the titles of the usable functions and settings. It is still possible to adjust volume, replay, stop, fast-forward, and rewind using the conventional buttons on the device.

Open ring design earbuds

LinkBuds have been created with a unique open ring design that lets users hear ambient sounds while enjoying all kinds of information, music, and other entertainment. The ring driver unit features an open central diaphragm for audio transparency, so chatting with friends and connecting to surroundings is easy.

Hear more of the world around you

With Ambient Sound Mode3, you’ll still hear the world around you, even as you enjoy your music. The Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to adjust the ambient sound in 20 different levels or use the Focus on Voice setting to chat without removing your headphones.

Listen safely with the Sony | Headphones Connect app

Check how safely you’re listening to music by comparing sound-pressure data recorded by your headphones with guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO). Receive OS notifications when listening levels are too high.

Action Assist

Make operating your device easier with a range of convenient features

For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat

The Speak-to-Chat feature uses built-in microphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognise and react to your voice. As soon as you start a conversation, Speak-to-Chat will pause your music and let ambient sound in. Then, when you've finished your conversation, your music starts playing again automatically4, 5.

Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do

Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you’re doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. It even recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym, or a favourite café, and switches the sound modes to suit the situation.

Auto Play

Headphones with Auto Play can automatically play music as soon as you put the headphones on or finish a call - no need to touch your device. Settings can also trigger music to match your behaviour, such as a mood-changing walk or a post-meeting focus track6, 7.

Control at your fingertips

Headphones feature intuitive touch control to make it easier than ever to manage your devices. For example, switch from Noise Cancelling to Ambient Sound, play or pause music, skip tracks and much more, with just a touch on the side of the headphone8.

Quick Attention

If you need to hear your surroundings, simply place your hand over the housing or earbud3 and your music will turn down to let you hear the ambient sounds.
