Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

Unrivaled Noise Cancellation: Equipped with 8 microphones and two proprietary processors (the V1 and QN1), the XM5 specializes in neutralizing high-frequency sounds like human voices and city traffic. The Auto NC Optimizer automatically adjusts the level of cancellation based on your environment and even changes in atmospheric pressure.

Refined Audio Engineering: It features a specially developed 30mm carbon fiber driver that delivers more natural sound quality and improved high-frequency sensitivity. It supports LDAC for high-resolution wireless audio and uses DSEE Extreme to upscale compressed music files in real time.

Crystal Clear Communication: Often cited as one of the best for calls, it uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice from wind and background noise with incredible precision.

Sleek, “Noiseless” Design: The XM5 features a “Soft Fit Leather” headband and a stepless slider, designed to reduce pressure on the ears for all-day comfort. While it doesn’t fold inward like previous models, its slim swivel design allows it to lie flat in its compact carrying case.

Smart Intelligence: Includes features like Speak-to-Chat, which automatically pauses your music when you start talking, and Multipoint Connection to switch seamlessly between two Bluetooth devices.
