Sony unveils new headphones31 March 2011 18:11:48

Electronics giant Sony has unveiled two new pairs of headphones.

The manufacturer has announced the upcoming release of the MDR-RF865RK wireless headphones and the MDR-NC13 noise cancelling in-ear travel headphones.

Featuring a transmission range of up to 100m the MDR-RF865RK wireless headphones are an ideal companion for watching TV, listening to the radio or playing video games, says Sony, thanks to their light and comfortable design and freedom from wire clutter.

The headphones come with a 40mm driver for rich audio with a deep bass response and a charging dock that take just 3.5 hours to provide 25 hours of listening time.

Meanwhile, the MDR-NC13 noise cancelling headphones are designed to reduce ambient noise by approximately 87.4 per cent, making them ideal for travellers wanting to block out noise while on the road or in the air.

They come supplied with a manganese battery but a single AAA alkaline battery boosts listening time to a full 100 hours.

Sony says the headphones will be available to buy from April. ADNFCR-2752-ID-800483504-ADNFCR
