Sony's flagship noise-cancelling earbuds, powered by two processors (the Integrated Processor V2 and the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e) driving eight microphones for industry-leading noise cancellation. A new 8.4mm Dynamic Driver X delivers deeper bass and clearer vocals, while the earbuds are around 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the WF-1000XM4 for an all-day comfortable fit.
