Hello Scooterh,

Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so glad to hear that you love your new Sony headphones and that you're enjoying them as a great upgrade.

The Integrated Processor V1 is a key part of the new system that allows for crystal-clear call quality. This powerful processor works with four beamforming microphones and a bone conduction sensor to pick up your voice clearly, ensuring you are heard without any background noise.

Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a beautiful day!
