Music as the artist intended

What is High-Resolution Audio?
The phrase High Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes and formats for music, that allow the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates than the standards used in CDs. The graphs below illustrate the greater frequency with which original analogue soundwaves are sampled to prepare High Resolution Audio, as compared to CDs. There is no single standard for High Resolution Audio, but the most commonly used specs are 24bit/96kHz and 24bit/192kHz. The result? Simply the use of much more of the data contained in original analogue recordings, to produce digital music files.

From the music makers to you

A collaboration of music industry professionals

Sony teamed up with members of The Script with a clear goal: to create a set of headphones that recording artists could trust. The band worked with Sony to ensure the headphones would deliver a full range of sound from crisp vocal highs through to body-shaking bass lines, while being stylish enough to wear in the studio or out.
