Comfortable, Pressure-relieving Cushions

At Sony, we believe that comfort is just as important as solid sound quality. That's why our pressure-relieving cushions are tailored for your ears. They not only provide a comfortable wrap-around feel, but also help to seal in music, preventing sound leakage.
