DNC for Xperia E1, please?

[sergiocastell]

Hi everyone!

I've just bought a new Xperia E1 and I saw yesterday in a video that the XPeria Z2 and ZR2 will come with a Digital Noise Cancellation system with a pair of special earphones, the MDR-NC31EM. "The system works thanks to small mics on the MDR-NC31EM headphones that detect ambient noise around the wearer and feed this information back to device to which they are connected. The Xperia device can then produce the opposing anti-noise to cancel out the background noise through the headphones." said Britta O'Boyle at "pocket-lint.com" 

This can be really useful for those people who need to take everyday the underground to go work, for example, and I'd like to use this new function in my new Xperia E1.

So, please, could you add this AWESOME function for the next update (4.4?) in the Xperia E1?? (I don't care paying 30/40€ for the earbuds, it's worth paying for them!) 

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

In order for this feature to work, you must have a device that also supports the hardware. It's required to have an unit that uses a 3.5 mm 5-pole audio jack, which Xperia E1 does not have. Thereby, a software update or similar will not give your phone this feature.

Ok, I understand this is a hardware problem, and that cannot be solved with any update/software. 

Thanks for your help!
