State-of-the-art technology delivers outstanding sound quality and effective noise cancelling, reducing external sounds across a wide range of low to high frequencies.
Amazing sound quality - With the Dynamic Driver X, you’ll experience richer vocals and more details. Our HD processor for noise cancelling QN2e and the integrated processor V2 ensure less distortion and crystal-clear audio playback. Additional premium sound technologies in these headphones include High-Resolution Audio Wireless, DSEE Extreme for upscaling your music, and immersive 360 Reality Audio.
Thanks to an AI-based noise cancelling algorithm and bone conduction sensors, your voice is reproduced clearly and naturally even in loud environments. Outdoors, the noise-cancelling design minimizes wind noise, ensuring you are always heard well.
Compact and aesthetically pleasing - These headphones offer a luxurious feel with a glossy finish, extremely comfortable fit, and an ergonomic design perfectly tailored to the human ear. For maximum comfort, the noise-isolating ear tips come in four different sizes.
Outstanding functionality - The WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, allowing your headphones to automatically connect to the correct device when a call comes in. Additionally, they feature 24 hours of battery life (8 hours in the earbuds + 16 hours in the charging case), quick charging, wireless charging, IPX4 water resistance, and much more.

Sony has improved in all the right places: the WF-1000XM5 play in the Champions League. The wireless in-ears owe this to their effective noise-cancelling and great sound. This not only puts them at the top of the Sony cosmos, they are also among the few Bluetooth in-ears with a test rating of "very good".
Soberly, the Sony WF-1000XM5 test can be summed up in just one sentence: The new Sony earbuds are the best in-ear headphones with ANC that money can currently buy. The sound is excellent, the active noise cancellation unrivalled and almost on a par with over-ear headphones. The battery lasts for a long time, the build quality is absolutely flawless and the XM5s also lack nothing in terms of functionality...
