Overview

Stay immersed in your musical world and nowhere else

The Sony WH1000XM5 is an Active Noise Cancelling 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 reduction 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.

    Fragile headset and Sony customer service refusing to cover the warranty

    Despite the headset's good sound quality, Bluetooth shows weaknesses when the headset has to handle sound output.
    Moreover, in less than a year of normal use, with the headset on the ears and around the neck, one of the earcup supports split in two. LDLC handled the product return well, but Sony refused to cover the warranty, claiming that the product had been forced, which was not the case.

    I do not recommend it if you have a somewhat large head and risk having to "force" the headset.

    Yes, but...

    My XM4 died after several years of good and loyal service so I got the XM5. Clearly no "whaouuhhhh" effect, and in fact quite the opposite. You have to give the brain time to get used to it. I made several adjustments, tested in different environments, from the least to the noisiest, for a few days and frankly it's a tiny bit above the XM4 when it comes to noise reduction. But why 3 stars then? That's where the shoe pinches, unlike the 4, there are no options in the app to make personalized settings, everything is automatic, except the equalizer and even then…It would have been nice if Sony had allowed more experienced or even simply curious users to adjust the headset, which they BOUGHT, however they want. Then on the 4 when you turn it on, off, whether you activate noise reduction or not there was a voice, here just a poor beep. Does not apply to users who have never had this kind of headset before.

    he keeps his promises

    Great headphones, very light, you quickly forget you're wearing them. The noise reduction is impressive, it's like magic!

    Very good product

    An excellent headset, as long as you know what level of performance to expect. No complaints here—the features are all there and work well. Easy and fairly intuitive to use, with very decent comfort during extended listening sessions. In short, it's in line with the rest of the series.

    A marvel of technology

    Product well received in Guadeloupe. Thank you LDLC.
    Very good product and good finish. I love the midnight blue colour. On the other hand, in hot weather, your ears sweat.
    The sound level is incredible. I find it slightly behind 1 wf-1000xm4 (which became unusable because of faulty batteries despite 1 return SAV), but the sound of the wf-1000xm4 intra with highs gave me more feeling. With 1 adjustment using the sony android headphones application, you can find what you're looking for.
