INZONE Buds

360 Spatial Sound for Gaming

With INZONE Buds‘ 360 Spatial Sound, gamers can hear the direction and distance of their opponents, so they can always stay one step ahead of the competition. Sony has drawn on its cutting-edge audio expertise to develop INZONE Buds and deliver an enhanced sound field. By analyzing not only the shape of the outer ear, but also the acoustic characteristics of the ear canal, INZONE Buds deliver more precise, spatialized sound

Thanks to the sound field optimization function, players can create a personalized listening profile by photographing their ears using the 360 Spatial Sound Personaliser smartphone app. They can then enjoy their game with unprecedented spatial precision

INZONE Buds can be optimized for the ear canal thanks to sound tone personalization. The earphones play test sounds through their loudspeakers and use feedback microphones to measure the sound filling of the ear canals. The sound is then customized using the INZONE Hub PC application on the basis of this acoustic analysis, ensuring a truly personal spatialized listening experience

Dynamic Driver X

By faithfully reproducing every in-game sound, from powerful explosions to the most subtle footsteps, players will be transported into their own worlds. A specially designed control unit, Dynamic Driver X, makes this possible. Designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies, it is also used in the WF-1000XM5. The structure of the diaphragm, which uses different materials for the dome and the rim, ensures minimal distortion and particularly clear sound, to deliver unprecedented aural realism

Noise reduction

Thanks to Sony’s active noise reduction capabilities, INZONE Buds block out background noise to enable optimum concentration on the game
