We haven’t heard much about Sony’s SRH-S1 standalone MR headset over the past year, which the company revealed at CES 2024. Now, the enterprise-focused device has an official launch date and price.

Released in collaboration with Siemens, the soberly-named Sony SRH-S1 is set to launch sometime in February 2025, priced at $4,750, which the companies are squarely aiming at enterprise. Orders begin on January 23rd, 2025, purchasable directly through Siemens.

While previously pitched last year to appeal to creatives, Sony and Siemens are clearly targeting industrial use cases; the companies say SRH-S1 will “enable the industrial metaverse” and enhance product design and manufacturing through Siemens’ set of high-fidelity mixed reality tools.

Sony is on the crack pipe with these prices

I agree. This price is nuts.

There's probably also an enterprise monthly fee like most other enterprise headsets. If this is the perfect tool for some engineering or design job that will make a lot of money then it makes sense but idk who uses these and not a standard consumer headset.

Well, it does say enterprise and those are definitely enterprise level prices.

They are competing with the likes of Varjo and Xtal, which makes the price look reasonable.
