Sony has launched their brand new Bluetooth earphones, the Sony Ear Duo at MWC 2018 alongside the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact. On first look, the earphones look quite bulky. This time, Sony seems to have focused more on innovation.
Called “open-ear” stereo headset, the Sony Ear Duo is being advertised for its “Dual Listening” capabilities. In layman terms, you can listen to music as well as listen to ambient sounds without any loss in quality. Along with this, the headset responds to head gestures allowing the user to answer or decline call by just nodding their head. The touch sensitive surface allows for tapping and scrolling through tracks and controlling the volume. Apart from this, there’s a feature called “Daily Assist” that recognizes time, location and activities to offer relevant Information.
