Environment and Accessibility

Love the planet, smart for all

BRAVIA is designed to harmonise with people's needs while respecting natural resources. We're accelerating our accessibility initiatives, enabling people who are blind or deaf to use Sony's devices, and expanding our environmental initiatives by incorporating recycled plastic into our products. Entertainment becomes more inclusive and enjoyable for all.

Single view, simultaneous sound

Our TV with simultaneous sound output lets you listen to a show on your headphones while your partner listens to the same show through the TV speakers. You can also change the volume using Bluetooth devices separately. Using Sony's headphone, you can smoothly switch Bluetooth® connection from other devices.
