For decades, Sony has been offering more options for consumers to enjoy the best of audio. In pursuit of its aim to provide the highest sound quality possible, Sony is introducing the new NW-ZX100 Walkman®, equipped with a new High-Resolution Audio compatible digital noise cancelling function, and the new XBA-300AP Balanced Armature In-Ear Headphones.
NW-ZX100 Walkman®
The ZX100 Walkman® stays true to form and delivers not only High-Resolution file formats in stunning quality, but also enhances your compressed music files to complement the treble of compressed sound sources. Aimed at achieving a more delicate and dynamic sound, S-Master HX™ performs full digital processing of the audio signal to support playback of High-Resolution sound. Headphone driver performance is improved by reducing noise in the High-Resolution sound range, by eliminating the coupling condenser for headphone amplifier output.
On the other hand, the ZX100 Walkman® incorporates LDAC™ (low latency codec) is a new audio technology from Sony that allows you to enjoy high quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. The ZX100 Walkman® is able to produce a natural frequency balance while keeping you and your extensive music library going with its 45-hour battery life and large 128GB internal memory. It will just be you and your music, no matter where you’re at.
XBA-300AP In-Ear Headphones
The XBA-300AP is the first Sony High-Resolution compatible in-ear headphone in the Balanced Armature unit line up. The inner housing, also known as Rigid Mount Housing, is composed by magnesium alloy that brings about high rigidity and high internal losses. The headphone’s noise-blocking design further attenuates ambient noise and sound leakage, offering you only the best in sound quality. Its compact size also offers a perfectly comfortable fit, thanks to the efficient layout of the Balanced Armature driver that contributes to a stable and comfortable fitting.
