Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset

MDR-1000X

Noise canceling function

The noise canceling circuit actually senses outside noise with built-in microphones and sends an equal-but-opposite canceling

signal to the headset.

Note

The noise canceling effect may not be pronounced in a very quiet environment, or some noise may be heard.

Depending on how you wear the unit, the noise canceling effect may vary or a beeping sound (howling) may occur. In these cases, take off the unit
and put it on again.

The noise canceling function works for noise in the low frequency band primarily. Although noise is reduced, it is not canceled completely.

When you use the unit in a train or a car, noise may occur depending on street conditions.

Mobile phones may cause interference and noise. Should this occur, locate the unit further away from the mobile phone.

Do not cover the microphones of the unit with your hands. The noise canceling function or the Ambient Sound Mode may not work properly, or a
beeping sound (howling) may occur. In these cases, take your hands off of the microphones of the unit.
