In addition, the latest BRAVIA home audio devices include an array of soundbars, a home theatre system, and a neckband speaker, which together offer multiple options to enjoy immersive cinematic sound and go perfectly with the new Bravia TVs, they stated.
In the premium audio segment, Sony has unveiled the ULT Power Sound series, which is built for music lovers who enjoy powerful, deep sound.
The lineup features three wireless speakers - the ULT Tower 10, ULT Field 7 and ULT Field 1 - as well as wireless headphones ULT Wear, so that customers can experience elevated sound pressure and deep bass, said the officials.
The series is aimed at young people, including Gen Z, who want to feel the powerful sound of being in the front row of an arena at parties with friends and family, at music events, and wherever they are, they added.
