[Ryosaku x Ryojin of Torii Kazuyoshi] Sony, "Socks on the shoulder"!

The series of Dolby ATMOS equipment that has been continued several times is also here.We have taken up the most advanced home theater systems and sound bars, but this time we will take a neck band speaker.It is a speaker system that is attached to the neck.

The neck band speaker is a new category that Sony has pioneered the "SRS-WS1", has been introduced on TV and so on.Sony has also been enhancing the lineup, such as the release of the lightweight, compact and compact and compact Telework-friendly "SRS-NB10", and some other companies other than Sony have released several neck band-type speakers.

The good thing about a neck band speaker is that the ears do not block their ears like headphones and earphones.Even if you use it for a long time, you will not hurt your ears, and you can respond immediately even if you are calling out by your family during use or delivery of visitors or courier services.Of course, there is a speaker right near the ear, so it does not require an absolute loud volume, and there is little annoyance to the surroundings.If it is a wireless type, you can walk around the room freely while wearing it, so it is comfortable again.It is quite easy to use as a personal speaker used on a daily basis.

At present, it seems that the popularity is now settled, and if you want absolute high sound quality, there are a wide range of products, up to luxury aircraft, and some people choose headphones and earphones that can be selected even if they like sound quality, and stereo equipment.Some people choose the conventional speaker system as a surrounding device.It can be said that it has become established as an item that people who value comfort in personal use.

The latest model introduced by Sony is "SRS-NS7" (actual sold about 33,000 yen).The biggest feature is that you can enjoy Dolby ATMOS's three -dimensional sound by combining with Sony's thin TV luxury model "BRAVIA XR" series.In addition, it is also equipped with "360 Spatial Sound Personalizer" that analyzes and optimizes personal hearing characteristics and gives a more realistic sense of realism.It is a neck band speaker that can be used comfortably, so you can enjoy full -fledged three -dimensional sound.

[Apology and correction] When the article first appeared, it stated, "You can enjoy the three -dimensional sound of Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio by combining with the" BRAVIA XR "series, but you can enjoy Dolby ATMOS's stereoscopic sound.It was a mistake. I apologize and correct it. (December 3)

Dolby Atmos is about 30,000 yen, which is cheaper than ATMOS compatible models of sound bar -type speakers, and are quite attractive.However, as described above, Dolby Atmos can only be realized in combination with the BRAVIA XR series, which will appear for the first time this spring.To put it simply, the main reason is that surround processing is performed using the high -performance system LSI processing capacity of the BRAVIA XR series.

If you try to achieve this with a neck band speaker alone, you will need something like a control box with a high -performance system LSI, which will also provide HDMI input / output.If so, the price will be nearly 50,000 to 100,000 yen.In this price range, some people think that the sound bar is better, and it will be a high -end high -end model as a simple neck band speaker.That was a reasonable price as a combination with the BRAVIA XR series.It is a nice item for users of the BRAVIA XR series.
