What is Balanced Armature?

The makings of superior sound quality.

Balanced Armature Drivers have a high-precision design. Its unique sealed casing features a spring force and magnetic pulling force, which are balanced on the armature - allowing it to move freely and produce optimal audio quality. Balanced Armature drivers also offer greater flexibility and can be specifically tuned for higher or lower ranges and combined to emphasise certain sounds. This enables precise control over the sound quality.

Digital Noise-Cancelling

Noise can't find you here. Sony's unique digital noise-cancelling software engine prevents external sound from coming in, without compromising on sound quality. As a result, you can enjoy your favourite tracks in an immersive noise-free environment.

Revolutionary Box-free Design

Think compact and lightweight. Think out of the box.

Sony's micro size Balanced Armature Drivers create more room to fit both the battery and IC chips within the headphones, resulting in the ground-breaking box-free design.

Smart Charging with USB Interface

A simple and hassle-free way to charge your headphones.

Sony's XBA-NC85D headphones can be charged easily via a USB interface, whether you are connecting them to a PC or a USB-AC charging adaptor.
