Overview

Stay immersed in your musical world and nowhere else

The Sony WH1000XM5 is an Active Noise Reduction Bluetooth 5.2 headset designed for those who want to be fully immersed in their music. The on-board LDAC codec transmits about three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio to maintain Hi Res Audio Wireless certified high resolution sound quality. The reliable wireless design, record-breaking battery life, holster and on-board voice assistants mean you can take it anywhere without restriction.

A new design for even greater listening comfort

Building on Sony's historic pedigree of noise-cancelling headphones established by the top-of-the-range 1000X series, Sony has completely reworked the design to deliver a headset that is not only more refined but also lighter and therefore more comfortable than previous versions. Constructed from high quality materials, you'll appreciate the muffled texture and the comfort of the soft synthetic leather earpads.

The best noise cancelling

The best noise cancelling on the market is pushing its limits again! Four microphones on each earpiece capture ambient sound with even greater precision. The new V1 processor coupled with Sony 's HD QN1 processor gives you unrivalled noise reduction. Be heard and hear clearly when you're on the phone. Sony Precise Voice Pickup technology uses four beam forming microphones and an Artificial Intelligence based noise reduction algorithm to precisely isolate your voice. The microphone structure is now protected from the wind to ensure noise-free phone conversations.

Quality sound and practical features

Take advantage of Sony's unique manufacturing expertise combining quality gold materials and optimised circuitry to ensure clear, powerful sound without distortion. With a record 30-hour battery life with noise cancelling on, you'll have plenty of battery power even for long journeys. If you need to recharge quickly, get 3 hours of playback after just 3 minutes of charging with an optional USB-PD compatible AC adapter. Smart and convenient, Adaptive Sound Control adjusts noise reduction to suit your environment and activities. With Speak-to-Chat, the music automatically stops when you speak without you having to remove your headphones.

    Top-of-the-range helmet

    Comfortable, lightweight headphones. Great sound and the application is easy to use. The ANC is top-notch, and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Excellent helmet

    Frankly, I'm very pleased with these headphones. Excellent sound and good battery life. The feature I like the most is the ability to be connected to several devices at the same time. The sound switches from one to the other very easily. Of course, the 2 sources don't play at the same time.

    Just perfect!

    Order received without any problem in New Caledonia. The sound is incredible (it's my first "top of the range" headset) and the Sony Headphones app for setting up the headset is well thought out.
    I use them regularly at home but especially at work (open space) and the noise reduction is impressive (as long as you cover your whole ear)! I'm really in my own bubble and can concentrate on my work.
    I've had the little problem that comes up a lot with these headphones: sometimes the headband can hurt the top of the skull. Solution: simply adjust the size higher so it's not a problem as long as you don't move around.
    I recommend it 100%!

    I didn't know about this shop and I made my purchase online. Not much news about availability and expected delivery date... I only received an email when it arrived in shop to collect it. The headphones are great and my daughter couldn't be more delighted... so isolated from the outside world to work on her lessons! Just great!
