Sony's Xperia Ear Duo Lets the Outside World In

Most wireless headsets are designed to block the world around you, but Sony is taking a different path with its Xperia Ear Duo.


The Ear Duo, which was announced at the Mobile World Congress on Monday, February 26th, is the evolution of the Sony Xperia Ear Style Bluetooth Earphones that were previously made but never programmed for the first time. Production. They look rather unusual compared to conventional earphones because the same buds are hollowed out to let in outside sounds.



The main goal is to mix the ambient noise with the music you like or the notifications you do not want to miss. The Ear Duo automatically adjusts the headphone volume to suit the environment. Then, when you leave a busy street, Ear Duo will raise your songs to make up for it.

I had the opportunity to use the ear duo while talking to a Sony representative, and I was able to continue the whole conversation while listening. It's a strange sensation, and you should not expect the same clarity you would get, even with standard headphones that do not support active noise reduction. It was almost like being in a room where music was played, but I was the only one who could hear it. It has a purpose, although I certainly do not want it on my return flight from Barcelona.

Sony does not release the Ear Duo as a portable device, but there is clearly a use case for cyclists and runners who prefer to train with music but can not afford to completely block their environment for the sake of safety. Although not completely waterproof, the Ear Duo features a splash-proof IPX2 rating.


In addition to music, Ear Duo's daily assistance feature has been developed to provide you with relevant information depending on the context. When you arrive at the office, you will be reminded of your next meeting. Gesture support also means that you can accept and reject calls simply by shaking your head. You can skip songs by shaking and touching them from side to side and dragging them on the device to start playback, pause, adjust the volume and much more. And of course, there is support for virtual assistants like Google Assistant and Siri.

Given its versatility, Sony expects customers to use the Ear Duo throughout the day so you can remove multiple costs from the Ear Duo case. The device lasts four hours with a single charge, but its batteries can be filled three times longer in that case. And thanks to the fast charge it only takes 12 minutes to hear two extra hours.

The ear duo will sell for $ 279 and begin shipping to the United States. UU end of May. Expected orders will start today at Amazon.
