Sony Products and Accessibility Features 

BRAVIA™ TVs 

BRAVIA TVs offer a variety of accessibility features in its design, which enhances the user experience regardless of age, ability or environment. This includes the TalkBack screen reader for initial settings, a menu timeout function that allows users to keep menus on the screen longer, as well as colour inversion and grayscale modes for people with low vision or visual sensitivities. Additionally, the tactile dots on the HDMI and S-CENTER terminals of BRAVIA TVs match those found on the BRAVIA Theatre products to simplify the process of locating and connecting ports for a smooth setup experience.

BRAVIA Theatre U and SRS-NB10 

BRAVIA Theatre U and the SRS-NB10 Wireless Neckband Speaker are perfect for enhancing accessibility, including for people who have low hearing and limited dexterity. They enable you to receive calls from the neckband speaker and provide clear, easy-to-listen audio from any Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, tablet, or TV, without disturbing others. In addition, ambient sounds can be heard ensuring you stay connected to your surroundings. BRAVIA Theatre U also allows two devices to be connected simultaneously, so two people can enjoy the same personalised experience.

LinkBuds Open Truly Wireless Earbuds 

 ​ 

LinkBuds Open have a unique open-ring design that keeps users connected to the outside world while enjoying their favourite tunes. The Fitting Supporters have a tail that is soft and hollow to reduce ear contact and therefore pressure, while the point of attachment is hooked and hard to prevent accidental dislodging. As a part of efforts to enhance the accessibility of our products and services, the earbuds and the case are designed with non-slip materials and designs, incorporating feedback from people who are blind or partially sighted. Additionally, Sony’s audio products have introduced “Guide for QR” to make it easier for users to recognise a QR code on the packaging, allowing them to access information on how to use the product. ​
