About
A premium noise-canceling headphone built for listeners who care about sound, comfort, and control. The Sony WH‑1000XM5 refines the category with a clean, modern silhouette, soft synthetic leather, and a lighter headband that disappears on long sessions. Touch controls are responsive without being finicky, and the earcup geometry seals well for passive isolation before the ANC even kicks in.
Two dedicated processors manage eight microphones to cut city hum and office chatter with minimal hiss, while the new driver delivers balanced detail with solid low-end grip. Battery life hits up to 30 hours, and a quick charge gets you back in minutes. Multipoint keeps your laptop and phone connected at once, and call quality stays crisp thanks to beamforming and noise suppression.
LDAC support, DSEE Extreme upscaling, and Hi‑Res audio compatibility give high‑quality sources room to breathe, and the Headphones Connect app lets you tune ANC, EQ, and features like Speak‑to‑Chat without fuss. If you prioritize everyday comfort, reliable noise cancellation, and refined sound, this is a smart upgrade.
