Bluetooth headphones support new LDAC codec

1 Comment

Sony is going to release new Bluetooth headphones MDR-1ABT for about ¥40,000 on March 21.

MDR-1ABT is compatible with Sony's newly-developed codec, LDAC. Since it is capable of transmitting information volume 3 times greater than regular SBC/A2DP codecs via Bluetooth, it produces high quality wireless sound.

When using it with a cable connection, MDR-1ABT will be Hi-Res headphones supporting up to 100kHz.

There is a built-in touch panel to control the sound volume and stop/playback and so on.

Other LDAC compliant Walkman models at this time are NW-ZX2, NW-A16, and NW-A17 (NW-A16 and NW-A17 will be supported after an update, sometime in April).

Weight: 300g without a cable Color: Black, Silver Bluetooth: Bluetooth 3.0 (Profile: A2DP/AVRCP/HFP/HSP, Codec: SBC/AAC/apt-X/LDAC)
