The Sony WF-1000XM5 are truly wireless noise-canceling earbuds. A Dynamic Driver X unit handles wide frequency reproduction. Two processors, the Integrated Processor V2 and the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e, control six microphones across both ears for noise cancelling. The earbuds also support High-Resolution Audio and 24-bit audio processing with high-performance analog amplification.
For calls, Precise Voice Pickup Technology, an AI-based noise reduction algorithm and a bone conduction sensor pick up your voice. A wind noise reduction structure and a mesh wrap on the microphone reduce noise in windy conditions. Adaptive Sound Control uses AI to adjust ambient sound settings to your location and activity. Speak-to-Chat pauses the music when you start talking.
The earbuds have an ergonomic shape designed for a stable fit. They are rated IPX4, so they resist splashes and sweat. They can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at once. The packaging uses no plastic, except for coatings and adhesives, and the earbuds are made with recycled plastic.
