Sony Electronics Headliners

Sony Signature Series MDR-Z1R

The Signature Series features the premier MDR-Z1R headphones optimized for hi-res personal listening enjoyment. The headphones utilize a 70mm, magnesium dome HD driver for the widest frequency response (up to 120kHZ) possible; along with a lightweight aluminum coated LCP edge diaphragm, and a powerful neodymium magnet, ensuring greater velocity, less signal loss and more natural sound.

Sony Signature Series NW-WM1A & NW-WM1Z Walkman

A highlight of the Signature Series is the new flagship NW-WM1Z Walkman®, which features an entirely new, gold-plated, oxygen-free, copper chassis to help reduce contact resistance and oxidation while minimizing magnetic interference. It incorporates a dual clock circuit with low phase noise quartz oscillator, which achieves superior sound reproduction at virtually any volume setting. To further reduce noise, both the WM1Z and WM1A utilize separate analog and digital circuitry as well.

MDR-1000X Sony Flagship Noise Canceling Headphones

The MDR-1000X is the flagship of Sony's noise canceling headphones lineup. A number of advancements have been put into these headphones to make them industry-leading, such as the signal processing to pursue the best noise canceling performance with upgraded filtering process, optimized dual noise sensor technology, and newly developed ear pads. Thanks to these advancements, MDR-1000X provides a secure noise isolation and listeners can immerse themselves in the music without any distractions or simply enjoy the silence. In addition, a personal NC optimizer tailors the noise canceling performance for the individual ears. The headphones analyze the shape of their head and their wearing style (such as hair style and wearing glasses or not), providing a customized noise-canceling experience. This personalized listening experience is realized by the newly developed SENSE ENGINE™[1].

HT-ST5000 Sony Flagship 7.1.2ch ATMOS Soundbar

Sony's new flagship 7.1.2ch 800W sound bar features Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio and twelve advanced speakers – all in a sleek, stylish design. Each speaker unit utilizes separate drivers to reproduce a full range of sound that supports High-Resolution Audio playback. While a powerful addition to a television or projector all on its own, this sound bar is designed to be the cornerstone of a home theater setup. With three HDMI inputs, one HDMI ARC output, a USB input, Bluetooth, NFC, as well as digital optical and analog connections, there's a connection for all your equipment. The ST5000 maintains quality from source to screen with support for 4K and HDR content from major studios via HDMI HDCP 2.2.

STR-DN1080 Sony ATMOS HiFi Audio Receiver

Building on Sony's fundamental amplifier design methodology, the STR-DN1080 Object Audio Compatible HiFi AV Receiver offers improved sound quality, flexible speaker solutions, and support for the latest audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X®. By combining Sony's "Phantom Surround Back" technology, you can enjoy 7.1.2ch speaker configuration with actual speaker setting with 5.1.2ch. The receiver also supports a long list of legacy surround formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
