Sony cuts the noise

SONY has recently launched a new addition to its long line of audio products.

The
Sony MDR-NC500D headphones are designed for supreme audio quality and
the highest level of noise cancellation, according to Sony Malaysia
product marketing division general manager Taku Taguchi.

“The headphones have a built-in microphone that has a digital filter to effectively remove up to 99% of ambient noise,” he said.

“It also gives you a high quality audio experience.”

According
to Taguchi, the noise cancellation is achieved by using Artificial
Intelligence (AI) on top of digital technology. He went on to
demonstrate the AI button feature which triggers a scan of the
surrounding ambient noise and selects the optimum noise cancellation
profile.

High level audio is produced by utilising large drivers and a digital equaliser, said Taguchi.

The digital noise cancelling technology is the first of its kind, according to Sony officials.

The MDR-NC500D is available immediately at a recommended retail price of RM1,499.
