The WH-1000XM5 is Sony's flagship over-ear noise-canceling headphone. Two processors drive eight microphones for strong active noise cancellation, and four beamforming mics handle calls. It supports Bluetooth 5.2 with LDAC and AAC, multipoint pairing to two devices, and wired listening through a 3.5 mm cable. At 249 g with a folding-free headband and leather-covered earcups, it suits commuters, frequent flyers and remote workers who want top-tier ANC and call clarity. Against the Bose QuietComfort Ultra it trades a slightly lighter, more comfortable fit and better call quality for a headband that no longer folds flat. Reviewers rate it among the best noise cancelers available, with the app and touch controls drawing the most complaints.
