Sony Korea to Showcase Study Headphone Experience Zone at Pop-up Store

Sony Korea has announced its participation in the ‘Grade-Up Teacher School’ pop-up store, set to take place at the Grand Square on the 2nd basement floor of Hyundai Department Store Mokdong Branch from September 18th to 26th.

The ‘Grade-Up Teacher School’ pop-up store aims to support students who are 50 days away from the CSAT, providing them with an immersive experience to help them complete the CSAT race by D-DAY. The store features various experiential spaces and products designed to bring joy to students who are tired of studying.

Study Headphone Experience Zone

Sony Korea will set up a ‘Study Headphone Experience Zone’ within the pop-up store, where customers can experience the noise-canceling performance of its wireless noise-canceling headphones, the ‘WH-1000XM5’. This product has been popular among students, with over half of student buyers under the age of 20 using it for study purposes.

The Study Headphone Experience Zone will allow students to wear the headphones themselves and experience complete immersion with noise cancellation. Additionally, the study headphones will be available at a special discount price for 100 units, and customers who make a purchase will receive a Teacher’s key ring set worth 50,000 won.

Other Attractions at the Pop-up Store

The pop-up store is divided into different themed areas, including the ‘1st period immersion area’, ‘2nd Period Energy Zone’, and ‘3rd Period Goods Zone’. In the ‘2nd Period Energy Zone’, useful nutritional supplements are provided to test takers through the ‘Stepper Game’ experience. In the ‘3rd Period Goods Zone’, stationery, lighting, and other products necessary for students are sold.

Visitors to the pop-up store can also see messages of support for test takers from ‘Teachers’ cast members Jeong Seung-je and Jo Jeong-sik, broadcasters Jeon Hyun-moo, Han Hye-jin, and Jang Young-ran, and YouTuber Mimi Minu, who is appearing as an entrance exam mentor.

Key Features of the Sony WH-1000XM5

The Sony WH-1000XM5 boasts powerful noise-cancelling performance with eight microphones that detect noise and a high-performance noise-cancelling processor. This allows students to focus on their studies anytime, anywhere, whether in a library, study cafe, or on public transportation.

The ear pads are made of soft fit leather, the headband is thin, and the weight is light at about 250g, reducing the pressure on the ears and head. This makes it comfortable to wear even when studying for long periods of time. The battery performance is excellent, with up to 30 hours of use on a single charge.
