Noise cancelling and calls

Sony uses the Integrated Processor V2 and HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e together with multiple microphones to control ambient noise. The earbuds also support an AI-based voice pickup system and bone-conduction sensing for clearer calls.

Water resistance

The earbuds carry an IPX4 water-resistance rating, which protects against splashes under Sony’s stated conditions. IPX4 does not certify dust resistance, and the charging case is not water-resistant.
