Product details

State-of-the-art technology delivers outstanding sound quality and the best noise cancelling on the market, reducing external noise over a wide range of frequencies from low to high.

Amazing sound quality
- Experience richer vocals and more detail with Dynamic Driver X. Our HD noise cancelling processor QN2e and integrated processor V2 ensure less distortion and crystal clear audio reproduction. Other premium sound technologies in these headphones include High-Resolution Audio Wireless, DSEE Extreme to upscale all your music and immersive 360 Reality Audio.

An AI-based noise cancellation algorithm and bone conduction sensors ensure your voice is reproduced clearly and naturally, even in a noisy environment. Outdoors, the noise-cancelling design minimises wind noise so you're always easy to hear.

Small and stylish - These headphones offer a luxurious feel with a glossy texture, ultra-comfortable fit and an ergonomic design that perfectly moulds to the human ear. The noise-insulating earplugs are supplied in four different sizes to maximise comfort.

Outstanding functionality - The WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so that your headphones automatically connect to the correct device when a call comes in. Plus 24 hours of battery life (8 hours in the headphones + 16 hours in the charging case), fast charging, wireless charging, IPX4 water resistance and much more.

  • NegativeRemoval from the case a little fiddly

Thanks to their great sound and very effective noise cancelling, the Sony play in the top league. The operation on the earplugs and via the app is also great. Thanks to the foam tips, the WF-1000XM5 not only seal really well, but also adapt to the ear canal.

  • PositiveFine sound
  • PositiveGood setting options via app
  • NegativeLE Audio can only be used to a limited extent

The WF-1000XM5 play in the top league. This is thanks to their effective noise-cancelling and detailed sound. LE Audio offers no advantages, but longer battery life. However, Sony restricts LE Audio to Xperia smartphones and there is still no sign of Auracast.

  • NegativeRemoval fiddly
  • NegativeSpatial sound somewhat limited

Sony takes a special approach to surround sound: the customisation via ear photos does not work with Dolby Atmos, but only with tracks in the rare 360 reality audio format. Otherwise, the WF-1000 XM5 are really good in-ears with a beautifully clear sound. The clever noise cancellation and wearing comfort are also pleasing.
