 Sony has launched a new set of headphones code named the MDR-EX700LP, MDR-AS and PFR-V1. Each has its own unique characteristics which are outlined below.
the MDR-EX700LP should appeal to audio purists who demand ultimate performance from a compact in-ear design.
Whilst for music lovers who rate looks as highly as audio quality, the new MDR-AS Active Series is designed to keep up with today’s urban lifestyles.
And finally you have a departure from conventional headphone designs, with the PFR-V1, which are a wearable speaker system that recreates the ‘open’ soundstage of a concert hall - according to the blur that is.
MDR-EX700LP In-ear Headphones
- Its design features a newly developed 16mm driver unit – currently the largest of any earbud headphone. This innovative design provides high sensitivity with improved dynamic range and an extended low frequency response.
- To ensure enhanced wearing comfort, the super-size driver features a new vertical in-ear design that turns the driver on its side. The re-orientated driver unit is supported by a strong, thin magnesium housing that prevents vibration.
- The extra-large driver unit is complemented by Sony’s newly developed unique multi-layered diaphragm made of ultra thin and strong materials. This advanced design ensures extremely high stiffness for minimised resonance with limited sound colouration and an improved high frequency response.
- Also newly developed for the MDR-EX700LP, a high-performance hybrid silicone earbud features a new shape for secure wear with both improved sound isolation and reduced sound leakage.
MDR-AS (Active Series)
- The perfect partner for sports, gym visits or simply tuning out during the daily commute, new Active Series headphones blend urban looks with a 13.5mm driver unit.
- Designed with an aluminium finish and anodised detailing.
- The MDR-AS40EX features a secure behind-ear clip in 3 sizes to suit any ear. The clip detaches as well, converting the headphone to a simple in-ear design.
PFR-V1 Personal Field Speakers
- The PFR-V1 is a wearable speaker system that delivers audiophile sound reproduction with an open, natural soundstage.
- Developed by Sony’s loudspeaker engineering team, the PFR-V1 has been designed for hi-fi, PlayStation and home cinema experiences that demand an immersive listening environment.
- Compact, and light which should make them easier to wear for extended periods.
All models are available to order early April at www.sonystyle-europe.com
