Our take on the Sony WH1000XM5 Wireless Over the Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones

The WH-1000XM5 is Sony's flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphone. It uses eight microphones (four per cup) and an Auto NC Optimizer that retunes cancellation to your fit and surroundings, plus a 30mm carbon-fiber composite driver for cleaner highs. It suits commuters, flyers and remote workers who want strong ANC, a light fit and long battery life. Against the older XM4 it trades the folding hinge for a slimmer, lighter build and better call clarity; against the Bose QuietComfort Ultra it is close on cancellation, with Sony generally ahead on features and battery and Bose ahead on comfort for some.

What people mention

  • BatteryPraisedReviewers report several days of commuting on one charge and quick top-ups when short on time.
  • Folding designCriticisedThe lack of a folding hinge makes the carry case bulkier than the previous model's.

  • Call qualityPraisedOwners say voices come through clearly on calls even in noisy places.

About the Sony WH1000XM5 Wireless Over the Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones

The Sony WH1000XM5 are wireless over-the-ear headphones with noise cancelling. Each ear cup has four microphones that pick up ambient sound. The Auto NC Optimizer adjusts noise cancelling to the wearing conditions and to external factors such as atmospheric pressure.

Each headphone has a 30mm driver unit made with a carbon fiber composite material, which gives more sensitivity to high frequencies. The build uses lead-free solder with gold to improve conductivity. Optimized circuitry and a Fine Sound Resistor support clear, consistent sound.

The design is lightweight for comfort during long listening sessions.
