Sony's New NFL Coach's Headsets are Set to Debut on the Sidelines for 2025 Season - Middle East Business News and Information

Custom-Built Headsets Utilize Sony's Industry-Leading Sound Quality and Noise-Canceling Technology to Deliver Critical Sideline Communication in all Types of Game Day Conditions Dubai, United Arab Emirates — July 15, 2025 — Sony and the National Football League today announced the debut of their all-new NFL Coach's Headsets, custom-developed from scratch to meet the demands of NFL coaches. Using insights and engineering principles from Sony's industry-leading 1000X headphone series , these headsets reflect Sony's extreme commitment to audio innovation and top engineering standards, serving as another strong symbol of their collaborative engineering and technology partnership with the NFL. 'Sony continues to stay ahead of the curve, evolving technology that meets the intense demands of today's game,' said Troy Vincent, senior executive vice president of football operations at the NFL. 'Coaches and players at the highest level count on reliable and dependable communication, and this headset is another example of integrating game day excellence with football innovation.' 'As a head coach, communication to my staff and players is everything. Sony took the time to understand exactly what we need—from clarity in noisy environments, to comfort and reliability when the pressure is highest,' said Matt LaFleur, head coach of the Green Bay Packers. 'This headset took all factors of the game into consideration, and I am looking forward to being able to rely on them during the game throughout this season and beyond.' 'We've taken a coach-first approach—listening, testing, and engineering to make sure we can accommodate the many unique demands of the sport,' said Neal Manowitz, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics Inc. 'While this headset is built for the field, it's backed by decades of audio innovation at Sony. The knowledge we've gained from developing products, like our WH-1000XM6 headphones, shaped our thinking on how to deliver clarity, focus and performance in even the most challenging environments. It's a powerful example of how our expertise translates into real-world solutions for the modern game.' Sony's extensive expertise in noise canceling played a key role in developing the custom solution built into these headsets. While tailored and tuned specifically for the sideline, the headset benefits from the same noise-canceling engineering trusted by millions of consumers worldwide in products like the 1000X series. Throughout the development phase, each unit was tested using real crowd noises in excess of 100 decibels to optimize the noise-canceling algorithm for in-stadium accuracy. The headsets also feature a custom-built microphone engineered specifically to isolate and elevate the coach's voice, ensuring consistent and clear communication on the field. To ensure the headsets could withstand the physical demands of the sidelines, Sony built and designed them to handle intense weather conditions, including rain, sleet and snow as well as extreme heat and cold. The headset also underwent extensive drop testing against the physical demands of the sidelines and is ergonomically designed for long hours of wear and quick transitions with a secure fit that stays in place during high-intensity movement. The headsets will be fully integrated across all 32 teams for the 2025 NFL season, enhancing sideline communication and driving real-time strategy with greater clarity and confidence. The headsets will connect to Verizon Business' Managed Private Wireless Solution through a belt pack. As the official headset of the NFL, this launch marks the next step in Sony and the NFL's ongoing partnership—combining engineering expertise and on-field insight to bring technology innovation to the game. ### About Sony Middle East and Africa: Sony Middle East and Africa FZE is a 100% subsidiary of Sony Corporation and is the regional headquarters for the Middle East and Africa regions.

Get a free $30 Amazon gift card when you buy the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones

Noise-cancelling headphones are a must-have for anyone who travels often and wants to drown out airplane noise, commuters who want some peace and quiet amongst the crowds and anyone else looking to dull the daily chaos of life. Sony's 1000X line has had our favorite noise-cancelling headphones for a long time, and it remains the same now with the latest edition to that family. Sony released the WH-1000XM6 edition of its wireless noise canceling headphones in May, and really the only downside about them is their new, higher price tag. But if you're on the market for a new pair of cans right now, Amazon will throw you a bone if you opt for the XM6. Right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones plus a free $30 Amazon gift card for $448. While you're not saving much on the price of the headphones (a whopping $2), you're getting a $30 gift card for free on top of it, which you can use towards anything else you want to buy on Amazon. Sony released the WH-1000XM6 headphones three years after their predecessor, but the new model quickly proved to be worth the wait. We gave the M6s a 94 in our review thanks to features like improved sound and better active noise cancelation. One of the best things about this model compared to the M5s is the return to a folding design — I love my M5s but it's very annoying that they don't shrink at all. The M6s are also very comfy and have a wider headband for easy wear.

There are a few undeniable truths in this world: the sky is blue, Mario Kart is always a good idea and Sony's 1000X line of headphones is amazing. The latter was proved true once again when Sony released the WH-1000XM6 edition of its wireless noise canceling headphones in May. The only downside is its price, coming in at $450 — $50 more than its predecessors launch price. Amazon is throwing all of us a bone, though, and having a sale of sorts. Right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones and a $30 Amazon gift card for $448. Yes, that is $2 less than the headphones on their own. It's no secret that the "bundle" serves as a nice incentive to buy Sony's new headphones from Amazon, but, hey, a $30 gift card never hurt anyone.
