www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l910/specifications1Maker product pagesony.co.uk/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l910/specificationsRead 5 October 2026Full exact maker support technical table. Bluetooth communication range is not acoustic frequency response. Unlabelled case dimensions are not assigned to width/height/depth. Exact published 11 mm ring driver diameter describes its outer ring, not a solid 11 mm diaphragm. Physical driver count per earbud was not explicitly found. The optional driver table is omitted because an uncounted row would derive a count of one. Diameter remains documented here rather than creating an unsupported derived count.
