Sony's New NFL Coach's Headsets are Set to Debut on the Sidelines for 2025 Season
NEW YORK and SAN DIEGO , July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sony and the National Football League today announced the debut of their all-new NFL Coach's Headsets, custom-developed from scratch to meet the demands of NFL coaches. Using insights and engineering principles from Sony's industry-leading 1000X headphone series, these headsets reflect Sony's extreme commitment to audio innovation and top engineering standards, serving as another strong symbol of their collaborative engineering and technology partnership with the NFL.
'Sony continues to stay ahead of the curve, evolving technology that meets the intense demands of today's game,' said Troy Vincent, senior executive vice president of football operations at the NFL. 'Coaches and players at the highest level count on reliable and dependable communication, and this headset is another example of integrating game day excellence with football innovation.'
'As a head coach, communication to my staff and players is everything. Sony took the time to understand exactly what we need—from clarity in noisy environments, to comfort and reliability when the pressure is highest,' said Matt LaFleur, head coach of the Green Bay Packers. 'This headset took all factors of the game into consideration, and I am looking forward to being able to rely on them during the game throughout this season and beyond.'
'We've taken a coach-first approach—listening, testing, and engineering to make sure we can accommodate the many unique demands of the sport,' said Neal Manowitz, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics Inc. 'While this headset is built for the field, it's backed by decades of audio innovation at Sony. The knowledge we've gained from developing products, like our WH-1000XM6 headphones, shaped our thinking on how to deliver clarity, focus and performance in even the most challenging environments. It's a powerful example of how our expertise translates into real-world solutions for the modern game.'
Sony's extensive expertise in noise canceling played a key role in developing the custom solution built into these headsets. While tailored and tuned specifically for the sideline, the headset benefits from the same noise-canceling engineering trusted by millions of consumers worldwide in products like the 1000X series. Throughout the development phase, each unit was tested using real crowd noises in excess of 100 decibels to optimize the noise-canceling algorithm for in-stadium accuracy. The headsets also feature a custom-built microphone engineered specifically to isolate and elevate the coach's voice, ensuring consistent and clear communication on the field.
To ensure the headsets could withstand the physical demands of the sidelines, Sony built and designed them to handle intense weather conditions, including rain, sleet and snow as well as extreme heat and cold. The headset also underwent extensive drop testing against the physical demands of the sidelines and is ergonomically designed for long hours of wear and quick transitions with a secure fit that stays in place during high-intensity movement.
The headsets will be fully integrated across all 32 teams for the 2025 NFL season, enhancing sideline communication and driving real-time strategy with greater clarity and confidence. The headsets will connect to Verizon Business' Managed Private Wireless Solution through a belt pack.
As the official headset of the NFL, this launch marks the next step in Sony and the NFL's ongoing partnership—combining engineering expertise and on-field insight to bring technology innovation to the game.

IQM LAUNCHES POWER SEGMENTS
New solution leverages the power of proximity to influence lawmakers, their staff and their closest inner circles NEW YORK, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IQM Advertising Corporation, the global media buying platform that empowers advertisers in the most regulated verticals to activate first-, second- and third-party data across the programmatic ecosystem, has announced the launch of a proprietary data solution that drives highly-targeted outreach to US policy makers. These precision audience segments are designed to be leveraged in the Political Advocacy space, as well as by Public Affairs divisions across a variety of industries, like Healthcare and Pharma. Available today, Power Segments combine voter-level data with opted-in, anonymized location intelligence to build a map of influence containing the people who shape policymaker decisions and voting behavior. By precisely mapping billions of location-based movement signals against policymakers' work and home locations, these advanced audience segments reveal a network of first and second degree connections likely to sway the decisions of those in power. Power Segments are available across two tiers of connectivity – PowerSphere – which delivers the most precise targeting through a tight, exclusive circle of advisors, staffers, and close contacts who interact with public officials at work and home, and PowerOrbit – which expands upon the reach of a PowerSphere by including key second-degree connections to the closest inner circle. What advertisers get access to is refined, scalable segments that don't just reach the right audience, but the people behind the people – the ones who shape policy, set priorities and ultimately move decisions. This new product launch comes at a critical time – following an election year when advertisers have a need to connect with an audience of new staffers brought in by newly elected officials. Matthew Dybwad, IQM's Chief Revenue Officer, and longtime industry veteran will be spearheading Power Segments. Working alongside him is a trusted team of Product Managers, Data Scientists, Engineers, Product Marketers and Sellers. With this cohort of unique insights and expertise, the product promises to solve a challenge Public Affairs and Advocacy advertisers have been facing for years, which starts with successful identification of key opinion leaders. 'IQM continues to think two steps ahead when it comes to the political advertising landscape and needs,' said Dybwad. 'We know that when it comes to influencing policy, reaching the policymaker is not enough. With Power Segments, we now have the ability to reach the people who are shaping the way legislators think and ultimately, create policy and definitive impact.' Power Segments are matched and validated using IQM's advanced proprietary identity graph built around the company's diverse data sources. And, unlike other competitive solutions in-market, IQM offers an attractive CPM based pricing model, rather than requiring subscription fees or per activation charges for access to the audiences.
