Sony BRAVIA 2 II (2026, UK)
Built-in far-field microphone
No TV micThis model has no built-in far-field microphone — voice control goes through the remote.
Sony's UK specifications for the K-43 to K-75S25M2 list voice search with a voice remote in the box, but no built-in microphone and no microphone switch, which Sony's UK specifications do list on its sets that have one. The product information sheets say "Voice recognition sensor available: No".
