The Sony WH-1000XM5 are wireless noise-canceling over-ear headphones that use two processors (QN1 and V1) to control eight microphones, with a 30 mm driver, LDAC and up to 30 hours of playback with noise canceling on. It suits frequent flyers, commuters and office workers who want noise canceling and clear calls in a 250 g headphone.
Who the Sony WH-1000XM5 is for
Flights and commutes: Auto NC Optimizer tunes the eight-mic noise canceling to your fit and surroundings, and a 3-minute charge from a USB PD adapter gives about 3 hours.
Work calls: Four beamforming microphones and AI noise reduction focus on your voice, and multipoint keeps a phone and a laptop connected.
Hi-res listening: LDAC carries hi-res streams over Bluetooth, and the supplied 1.2 m cable supports Hi-Res Audio playback with the headphones powered on.
Long sessions: At about 250 g with up to 40 hours of playback with noise canceling off, they last through full workdays and long trips.
