With the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can use Sony's Adaptive Sound Control and Sense Engine to automatically adjust ambient sound settings based on your situation. You can also customize the settings manually. Adaptive Sound Control can detect whether you're traveling, walking, or waiting. While traveling, background noise is eliminated. While walking, enjoy your music but still hear some sounds around you so you're safe and aware. While waiting, background noise is minimized but you'll still be able to hear important announcements.

This app lets you adjust the volume of background sounds and also provides an equalizer to adjust audio levels for your music.

The backs of each earbuds are magnetic and snap together to keep them untangled when not in use.

You can manually pair these headphones with a Bluetooth-compatible device for wireless listening, or you can use NFC pairing if supported. With NFC pairing all you have to do is tap your device to the headphones to quickly pair them.
