INZONE Buds

360 Spatial Sound for Gaming

With 360 Spatial Sound on INZONE Buds you can hear the direction and distance of your opponent, so you’ll always be one step ahead of the competition. Through its years of work on industry-leading headphone technology, Sony has developed the INZONE Buds to offer a sound field tailored to you. By analyzing not only the shape of the outer ear, but also the acoustic characteristics of the ear canal, INZONE Buds offer more precise spatial sound.

With Sound Field Optimization, you can create a personalized hearing profile by taking photos of your ears using the 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer smartphone app This ensures unparalleled spatial accuracy for an immersive gaming experience.

INZONE Buds can be optimized for your ear canal with Sound Tone Personalization. The earbuds play test sounds from driver units and use feedback microphones to measure how the sound fills your ear canal. Based on the acoustic analysis, the sound is then personalized using the INZONE Hub PC application, ensuring a truly spatial listening experience.

Dynamic Driver X

By faithfully reproducing every sound within the game, from powerful explosions to subtle footsteps, you’ll feel transported into the world of the game. This is made possible through a specially engineered high-performance driver unit – Dynamic Driver X – that is designed for wide frequency reproduction, and which is also used with the WF-1000XM5. The diaphragm structure, which utilizes different materials for both the dome and edge, ensures minimal distortion and a clear sound quality, delivering an unparalleled level of auditory realism.

Noise-canceling

Sony’s active noise cancellation capabilities mean INZONE Buds block out background noise, so you can focus on the game.
