quality even at low volumes.

By rendering a natural sound that’s easy to listen to, this feature reduces the load on your ears caused by excessive levels.
LISTENING OPTIMIZER feature: This analyzes the audio in real time and adjusts the sound quality to best match how this product fits on your ears and your ear shape.
3D SOUND FIELD feature: This product includes a 3D SOUND FIELD feature, which lets you enjoy the playback of surround sound with full three-dimensional presence. Select the optimum sound field effect to match the contents you are playing back.
