Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

Sony WH-1000XM5 Review by Kevin Lee

"The Sony WH-1000XM5 delivers the significant upgrade we've eagerly awaited from Sony's flagship wireless headphones. With a new design and enhanced AI, the noise-canceling capability is more powerful, and the ambient listening mode feels wonderfully natural. The audio quality is impeccable, perfect for everything from intricate classical music to the intense soundtracks of action movies."

While the previous Sony XM4 was already exceptional, the XM5 introduces crucial enhancements in noise cancellation and comfort. It features a second processor and double the microphones for superior ambient noise filtering. The redesigned earcups fit more snugly, enhancing passive noise isolation. The noise-canceling performance surpasses the XM4 and rivals any other headset in its price range.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 boasts a sleek new design with an updated headband adjustment mechanism. The wider band ensures better weight distribution, and the earcup padding, now crafted from luxurious synthetic leather, offers enhanced comfort, allowing for hours of wear. However, one minor downside is that the XM5 cannot be folded inward, only swiveled, making it slightly less compact.

Despite these improvements, the Sony WH-1000XM5 maintains the XM4's impressive battery life, offering over 30 hours on a single charge with ANC enabled. It also supports fast charging via USB Type-C.

At this price, the XM5 is significantly more affordable than competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the AirPods Max. If you're in the market for premium noise-canceling headphones, this deal is too good to pass up.
