What's this? Headphones that brag about how well they play music and cancel sound? It's refreshing to see. Sony seems to focus on all things audio with these pricey, critically acclaimed wireless headphones. They do offer something called "smart listening technology" so when you start to talk, the headphones pause the music so you can have a "hands-free conversation" (who knew we needed hands-free conversations!). For the most part, Sony keeps it all about what you hear — or don't hear — when you put these things on. Hey, that actually sounds good.
Wat kin der barre as der wat misgiet?
We couldn't find too much that could go wrong with Sony’s headphones. We suppose you might go and try to read their privacy policy, get lulled into boredom by the complex, legal language and fall asleep with the volume on your headphones up way too loud, causing hearing loss. Don't listen to your music so loud when reading privacy policies! And Sony, please make your privacy information more accessible to consumers.
Sony does say it may use or share de-identified personal data for advertising purposes. This is generally OK, although many privacy researchers will point out it is relatively easy to de-anonymize such data. Also, if you choose to use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with this smart speaker, know that Google and Amazon will collect data on the voice requests you make.
Tips om josels te beskermjen
