Sony at the MWC 2018 event has introduced the Xperia
Ear Duo wireless headphones with noise-canceling and Google Assistant and Siri
integration. The dual listening experience combines music that you are
listening to environmental sounds for the richer sound experience.
The Xperia Ear Duo wireless headphones can send
audio notifications about your calendar, news headlines, and other topics to
the headset. The intelligent “Daily Assist” feature recognizes the time,
location and activities to offer relevant information throughout the day. The
Sony’s in-house developed Spatial Acoustic Conductor, allows the sound
generated behind the ear by the unit´s driver to be transmitted directly to the
ear.
The specially designed ring supporter surrounds the
ear canal so the music can blend seamlessly with sounds from your environment.
With Sony’s Clear Phase audio technology, the volume intelligently adjusts
based on your surroundings and background noise and eliminates sound dispersion
for crystal clear listening. It is powered by the Sony’s ultra-low power
consuming CXD5602 chip and a sophisticated multi-sensor platform.
It can respond to head gestures which will allow you
to answer or decline incoming calls by shaking or nodding your head, or skip
through music by shaking your head left and right. You can also control your
music and volume by simply tapping and scrolling on the device. It supports
both Android and iOS with the Assistant and Siri integration.
The Sony Xperia Ear Duo will be available in either
black or gold colors and will ship from Spring 2018. No pricing revealed yet.
