Sony places Dolby Atmos spatial sound in an unfamiliar place: our neck. The Japanese giant has unveiled the new Sony SRS-NS7 wireless neckband speaker that can stream Dolby Atmos sound from a connected Bravia XR TV.
The loudspeaker has been developed for people with limited space and does not want to fill their living room with floor standing speakers. In addition to Dolby Atmos sound from the TV, the SRS-NS7 can also stream Sony 360 Reality Audio tracks from a smartphone. To adjust the sound to your ears, Sony has also released a 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app that you can use to take pictures of your ears.
According to Sony, the wearable speaker has a battery life of 12 hours at normal volume and about five hours when you turn it up to maximum. The wireless neck speaker, which has IPX4 water resistance certification, will have a price tag of $ 299. However, it is necessary to purchase the WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter that connects it to a Bravia TV and it costs $59.
