LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- (CES, Booth
#17300) -- Sony Electronics announced today three new
sports wireless headphones for the active, stylish music lover.
With wireless-in-ear and truly wireless styles these high quality,
great sounding sports headphones come in fashionable colors and
offer great options for any active lifestyle. The WF-SP700N truly
wireless and WI-SP600N in-ear headphones provide wireless noise
cancelling where noise cancelling has seldom gone before, such as
in a high intensity cardio class or while walking or jogging. The
WI-SP500 in-ear headphones let you train for longer with up to
eight hours of battery life on a full charge.
"Noise cancelling isn't just for airplanes anymore. Now you can
get in the zone with great quality sound – without the distractions
– at a noisy gym or on a run," said Dunja
LaRosa, Director, Head of Mobile Audio Business at Sony
Electronics, North America. "Ready
to jump into action when you are, the wireless noise cancelling
WF-SP700N, WI-SP600N and standard WI-SP500 headphones will be every
listener's favorite new work out buddy."
Wire free
Very important when it comes to sports,
truly wireless headphones mean you are free to do whatever
activities you wish, without the worry of your headphones getting
in the way. In addition to great sound, the world's first truly
wireless splash-proof WF-SP700N headphones combine two features
great for working out: digital noise cancelling technology and a
splash-proof design. The WF-SP700N comes with a compact
one-touch-open charging case and benefits from approximately three
hours of battery life plus two additional charges from its case for
nine hours in total.
Style options to suit you
Alongside the truly wireless
style, Sony brings out a wireless-in-ear style headphone, the
WI-SP600N, to complete the collection of sports headphones you
won't be able to live without. The WI-SP600N model has the same
digital noise cancelling and sound quality technology, plus the
same level IP rating. With this pair, you can keep listening for up
to six hours. While the compact earpieces are connected by a
discrete band behind the neck, it has arc supporters which are
based on the ergonomics of the ear to provide flexibility and
moderate pressure to ensure they are a secure fit.
Hear the sounds you want
Noise cancelling technology
in the WF-SP700N truly wireless and WI-SP600N in-ear headphones
lets you concentrate on your training in the noisy environment of
the gym – even with machines banging and people talking. On the
other hand, if you're doing sports outside turn on the ambient
sound mode so that you can be aware of the surrounding sounds.
Along with noise cancelling these headphones feature Sony's EXTRA
BASS™ sound, giving your music a deep punchy bass.
Splash proof secure-fit design and portability
With an
IPX4 rating all of these headphones are splash-proof and can be
worn in the rain or sweat upon without being damaged. Designed to
fit with arc supporters securely in your ears no matter what
activity you are doing, this pair has been carefully developed to
provide the most stability. They are available in four colors
including pink, yellow, black and white, which have been picked to
complement your active wear outfit, and keep up with the trend of
wearing sports and leisure clothes outside of the gym.
Convenient connectivity
These headphones have NFC™
one-touch connection with the case and are compatible with the Sony
| Headphones Connect app which now features Quick Sound Settings so
you can recall your favorite settings of equalizer and ambient
sound control as you adjust with two taps of the headphones
button.
The WF-SP700N provides users freedom to move without getting
caught up in wires, and will even be optimized for the Google
Assistant with a future update.
