Sony's XYN XR headset is being used in very different ways at CES 2025


At CES 2024, Sony and Siemens both announced plans to use an XR headset Sony designed. This year, we got to try it on and see two very different use cases.

During Sony’s CES press conference, it announced its XYN brand of software and hardware solutions, with the headset being a key part of the equation. The headset itself felt well-constructed and sturdy for a prototype — the display flips up so you can get back into the real world quickly, and the headband was pretty comfortable and secure. Siemens is definitely further along in the quest to bring this product to end users: the XR HMD is up for pre-order now for $4,750, and the company says it’ll begin shipping next month.
