    New DSEE HX AI analyses song type

    Audio upscaling is improved even further by our new DSEE HX processor which intelligently recognises instrumentation and musical genres. Realism and liveliness of different instruments, including the human voice, are inherently characterised by high frequency harmonics. By identifying instruments, and the relative energy of the audio, our enhanced DSEE HX can accurately rebuild audio lost during digital compression, for a full fidelity experience even with heavily-compressed audio formats.

    Rigid aluminium milled frame 

    Rigid aluminium milled frame 

    A rigid premium aluminium milled frame provides superior rigidity for low impedance and clear, stable sound and solid bass.

    Premium, audio-grade lead-free solder containing gold

    Premium, audio-grade lead-free solder containing gold

    For clearer sound and vocals, new high-quality lead-free solder with a small amount of gold is used to connect the circuit of the NW-A50 to the battery. The exceptional conductivity of gold ensures absolute minimum signal loss.

    Circuit board with gold plate for powerful bass

    Circuit board with gold plate for powerful bass

    The NW-A50 has onboard plate and contact springs which directly connect the circuit board and aluminium milled frame, and they’re both plated with gold. The results are powerful bass and a clear mid-range.

    Evolved buttons

    Evolved buttons

    Control your music with ease, through the intuitive side key buttons of the NW-A50. The play/pause, music-selection and volume buttons on the side panel are shaped and positioned for easy operation, even by feel alone. 

    LDAC™: for the transmission of High-Resolution Audio content

    LDAC™: for the transmission of High-Resolution Audio content

    Enjoy your music at greater than CD quality with LDAC™ wireless audio transmission. LDAC uses a conventional BLUETOOTH® connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate up to 990kbps – approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention. 

    NFC™ One-touch for instant connectivity
