Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Over-ear Headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is a set of over-ear wireless headphones equipped with 30 mm dynamic drivers. They are designed with a closed-acoustic system to provide passive sound isolation, which works in conjunction with the active noise cancellation. The headphones connect to devices primarily through Bluetooth 5.2, supporting multiple codecs including LDAC for higher-resolution audio transmission. For users preferring a physical connection or to conserve battery, a detachable 1.2 m cable with a 3.5 mm connector is included. The headband design and 250-gram weight are structured for long-duration listening sessions.

This model integrates an active noise-cancelling system that utilizes a total of eight microphones to analyze and reduce ambient sound. These microphones also serve to capture the user's voice for calls, employing directional technology for improved clarity. The internal battery is rated for up to 30 hours of playback with noise cancelling enabled, and up to 40 hours without it. A full recharge via the USB-C port takes 3.5 hours, and a fast-charge feature is available. User interaction for volume, playback, and call management is handled through touch controls integrated into the earcup.
