Sony has launched a new ‘WI-C600N’ neckband headphones with noise-cancellation capabilities. Whether it is travelling on a crowded train or on a long bus journey, the WI-C600N eliminates loud distractions to give you a peaceful commute.

There is also a ‘Ambient Sound’ mode which lets in just the right amount of outside noise to keep users aware of their surroundings while still enjoying your favourite tunes. The WI-C600N comes equipped with DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine), a technology developed by Sony which enhances the sound quality of compressed audio files by restoring high-range sound removed by the compression process.

The WI-C600N offers 6.5-hours of battery life with noise cancellation turned on and 7.5-hours of battery life with noise cancellation turned off.  The WI-C600N features compact 6 mm drivers, keeping the earphones small for a comfortable fit. The magnetic housing also cleverly snaps the earbuds in place to keep tangled cords at bay, the company said.

With the WI-C600N, users can go completely hands-free while making calls or listening to music as it comes with a built-in microphone and is compatible with Google Assistant and Siri.

The WI-C600N also supports one-touch listening so users can instantly stream their music via Bluetooth with just a tap from their smartphone on the NFC logo of WI-C600N. Priced at Rs 10,990, the WI-C600N will be available across all Sony Centres and major electronic stores in India, starting February 27.
