About the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
Sony's WH-1000XM5 are over-ear wireless headphones built around noise canceling. Multiple microphones work together to block more mid- and high-frequency sound, from airplane cabin noise to nearby voices, which makes them a strong companion for flights, commutes and open-plan offices.
A light, rigid driver unit is designed for more natural sound, and Precise Voice Pickup Technology helps the person on the other end of a call hear you clearly even in noisy places. Battery life runs up to 30 hours, and with an additional USB PD-compatible AC adapter, a 3-minute charge gives about 3 hours of playback.
Everyday conveniences are well covered. Multipoint pairing connects two Bluetooth devices at once and switches to whichever one is ringing, Speak-to-Chat pauses your music when you start talking, and a wear sensor pauses playback when you take the headphones off. Soft fit leather is designed to ease pressure on the ears, a collapsible case protects them in your bag, and Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are supported for hands-free control.
What reviewers say
Reviewers rate the WH-1000XM5 among the top noise-cancelling headphones, praising their very effective ANC, excellent sound and long-wear comfort. Common complaints are that they no longer fold up compactly like the XM4, they have no water-resistance rating, and some reviewers felt the build is less premium than expected.
