You don’t have to remove headphones to hear announcements etc while enjoying music with Sony MDR-1000X wireless headphones

Sony_MDR-1000XToday, Sony announced the MDR-1000X premium wireless headphones with industry leading noise cancellation performance, offering the most responsive cancellation of ambient sound frequency range on the market. The MDR-1000X supports Hi-Res Audio playback with a wired connection so listeners can hear every detail, just as the artist intended. Sony’s S-Master HX audio amplifier also supports Hi-Res to maintain the purity of the original signals for highly faithful sound reproduction. Sony’s exclusive LDAC technology delivers audio at three times higher quality than conventional Bluetooth streaming.

A personal NC optimizer tailors the noise cancelling performance for the individual ears. The headphones analyze the shape of their head and their wearing style (such as hair style and wearing glasses or not), providing a customized noise-cancelling experience. This personalized listening experience is realized by the newly developed SENSE ENGINE.
