Sony is finally debuting the headset that it developed specifically for NFL coaches, after teasing it almost a year ago as part of a new partnership with the NFL.
The headset features technology and engineering borrowed from Sony’s popular consumer-focused wireless headphones, such as the WH-1000XM6.
Sony tested the headset using real crowd noises at 100 decibels to fine-tune its active noise cancellation for use in NFL stadiums.
The headset features a custom-built microphone designed to isolate a coach’s voice from the noise inside a stadium.
