From the manufacturer
Industry-leading noise cancellation
From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with multiple microphone noise cancelling keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. And with Auto NC Optimizer, noise cancelling is automatically optimised based on your wearing conditions and environment.
Multi Noise Sensor technology
With four microphones on each earcup, this is our biggest ever step forward in noise cancelling. Ambient sound is captured even more accurately for a dramatic reduction in high frequency noise. Thanks to Auto NC Optimizer, noise cancelling performance is always and automatically optimised based on wearing conditions and external environmental factors such as atmospheric pressure.
Incomparable noise cancelling
Specially developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 unlocks the full potential of our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. This unique combination of technology controls eight microphones to deliver unprecedented noise cancelling quality.
Superlative sound, engineered to perfection
The specially designed 30mm driver unit with light and rigid dome using carbon fiber composite material improves high frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. Sony unique technologies include a premium lead-free solder containing gold for excellent conductivity, Fine Sound Resistor for even power distribution, and optimised circuitry for an improved signal-to-noise ratio to ensure clear, consistent sound.
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio with and without wires
The WH-1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.
Specially designed 30mm driver unit
The specially designed 30mm driver unit featuring a soft edge enhances noise cancelling helping you enjoy your music precisely without ambient noise.The carbon fiber composite material realizes light weight and high rigidity dome and improves sound clarity, especially in high frequency ranges.
Industry-leading call quality
Our Precise Voice Pickup Technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice precisely. A newly developed wind noise reduction structure minimises wind noise during calls. Wherever you are, you’ll always hear and be heard clearly.
Multiple microphones, focused on your voice
Equipped with four beamforming microphones, these headphones are calibrated to only pick up your voice. An improved signal-to-noise ratio enables them to catch every single word, even when there’s a lot of noise around.
Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognising instrumentation, musical genres and individual elements of each song, it restores high range sound lost in compression.
All day comfort with a noiseless design
These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed “Soft fit leather”. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you’re doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. When activated, it learns your behaviour and recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favourite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.
Ultra clear, noise-free calls
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly in a wide range of environments. [1 = With noise, 2 = Without noise].
For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat
As soon as you start a conversation, Speak-to-Chat automatically stops your music and lets in ambient sound – handy if you want to keep your headphones on or talk hands-free. This smart feature uses microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognise and react to your voice. Once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
All day power and quick charging
With a huge 30 hours of battery life you’ll have enough power even for long trips. If you need to top up in a hurry, you can get 3 hours’ worth of charge after just 3 minutes with an optional USB-PD compatible AC adapter.
What’s in the box
Open up the packaging of your WH-1000XM5 headphones and you’ll find a carrying case, headphone cable (approx. 1.2m) and USB charging cable.
Control with your voice
Get hands-free help – Just say “Hey Google” or “Alexa” to activate your preferred voice assistant. Listen to music, connect with friends, get notifications, set reminders, and more. You can even control your headphones features like noise cancellation with your voice, listen to and interact with emails in Microsoft Outlook, and join Microsoft Teams meetings using Google Assistant or Siri.

تحديث للمراجعة مهم ) سماعات فخمة ومحترمة)
اولا السماعات جودتها رائعة،و صراحة الصوت فيها نقي وممتاز، كما ويمكن تخصيص اعدادات الصوت حسب اختيارك في تطبيق سوني الي يجب التأكد من تحميله للاستفادة بشكل كامل من خصائص السماعات وتحديثها اول بأول،* هنا التحديث لمراجعتي (نقطة 1) ،بالنسبة للعزل بعد تجربتي فترة مطولة استطيع القول بكل مصداقية والتوضيح بأنه السماعات تخفض الضوضاء ولاتعزل الصوت بشكل كلي بل خفض فقط اي لاتتوقع عزل كلي وهذا الخيال الذي يقوله المراجعين في اليوتيوب وتحديدا مع التردادت المنخفضة والمتوسطة (مراوح او صوت التكيف ) وانا بالمناسبة لا ارها نقطة سلبية ابدا والسبب في النقطة القادمة رقم 2، (نقطة 2) احب اذكر هنا في هذه النقطة التي لم ارا شخص يذكرها بالمراجعات وهي انه في هذا الاصدار تم حل مشكلة مهمة جدا في وضع عزل الضجيج وهنا لا اتحدث عن تحسين عزل الصوت بل من ناحية انه هذا الاصدار الافضل في الراحة والاستخدام اثناء تشغيل العزل! مثال عند استخدام خاصية العزل فالاصدارات السابقة كنت اشعر بضغط مزعج على الاذن و كتمان النفس 🤣 لدرجة اني كنت اتجنب استخدامه في الاصدرات القديمة ولكن هالاصدار تم حل هالمشكلة وصار استخدام عزل الضجيج مريح جدا و لايسبب لي ضغط✅ ،بشكل عام ما اراه سلبي هو سعرها عادا ذلك مازلت سوف اقيمها 5/5

If you’re looking for a high headphone volume and great bass this headphone is not for you..
I bought this at the beginning i saw it’s amazing because of their noise canceling feature and i can admit that its one of the best noise canceling headphones or the best one but but but the sound is so weak and the bass is really weak even if you try to adjust it on their app it will still be weak i was expecting more from this premium headphone I don’t know maybe i am a bass lover but without great bass you cannot feel what you are listening to.There is another in sony’s line up called EXTRA BASS headphones I think they are better than these but the problem they are not even close to the comfort of XM5 and the noise canceling performance i hope Sony will release in the future an 1000X series with extra bass future in it. Lastly the sound is just good but not worth the money you will pay for you definitely will get a higher volume in cheaper headphones. if you are just looking for a pair of headphones that provides great ANC you are in the right place.

I upgraded from wh1000x4 to wh1000x5 though not much change noticed except design calling microphone quality as it comes with 8 microphones and weight ANC works good most of the folk here didn’t liked his packing but for me it’s very good as we can carry along it with bag which saves it form getting any scratch rest it’s value for money good luck for all those who are using it and wishing good luck for those as well who are still planning to buy this cute monster lol

Probably one of the best headphones out there
Great noise canceling, though I mostly keep it on ambient mode, which is so good it’s actually better than my natural hearing lol. The mic is amazing, it’s the primary reason I purchased this over the 1000XM4. I do wish they were foldable but oh well. Have been using for around 9+ months with no issues.

Expensive when it comes to the price point, wonderful noise cancellation and little low sound
the product is cool, faced some issues to understand it at the beginning, the catalog is weak, it didn’t show how to use the product and you need to youtube it.It will give you the best performance when you download Sony Headsets App, you will be able to control it more and more.The Noise cancellation is awesome, but the sound in musics is little bit low (This is for someone who loves high volumes on his headset like me) if you dont, so it will be coolConclusion is , Expensive when it comes to the price point, wonderful noise cancellation and little low sound

Amazing battery life and sound performance
Pros: It’s light with comfortable memory foam, sturdy and has amazing sound quality, battery life and connectivity. I love seamless noice cancellation and transparency mode and gestures (it’s like magic). I also got it pre-owned from Amazon and saved about 50% off the original retail price. Well worth it!Cons: When not in use, wearing it around your neck is quite uncomfortable. I think I would prefer something with a bit more bass.. While the sound stage is dynamic and clear, it does not sound as punchy as JBL drivers but that’s not a deal breaker.Verdict: highly recommend it!

Amazing sound with handy and practical features applicable on work and leisure modes
Thanks Amazon for quick delivery, product is AAA rated by me as the packaging was fully intact without any damage. when i begin utilizing, it became part of my daily routine so conveniently, music, fitting, call quality and offered features wise i rank it under value for money category making it super enticing to posses. i loved the black version as it looks so cool and east to maintain, carrying case is made of solid material, i think it would not be comfortable for mass as ear cups are slim and slick so i recommend test it on demo stores before ordering. sound wise bass is not on Sony standard but still punchy to digest, all other aspects of sound quality were upholding Hi-Res standards. so if you are interested i may suggest you can go for it.Hope this would be helpful.

Updated review after the latest firmware update in early Aug 23
It was hard to give this headphone 3 stars when I bought it on June 22. It sounded bass head with a lack of detail.Sony did new a new firmware update. The headphones immediately became the best headphone in the world within its category. The headphone is now even miles ahead. Its sound is comparable to thousands of dollars in headphones but with noise cancellation and wireless Bluetooth.The sound is warm, detailed, and so clear. Noise cancelation is superb. Connection through Ldac with Android devices is unmatched.Even though this update came late but it is still evident in Sony’s capability to innovate.Highest recommendation at its current price

Good But Not The Best I’ve experienced
The painful pressure on my head ensures I can’t wear it for longer than 1 hour. Plus, the noice cancelling is’t as good as Sony’s earbuds. Not great value unfortunately.

Returned qc45 and switched to this one .
I had ordered Bose qc45 it had very good ANC and was comfortable but call quality was dreadful especially on teams if ANC was on .T tried this one . It’s a complete package . ANC is good although qc45 was a bit better but music is more exciting and call quality is much much better . It’s better in terms of features too .Coming from a Bose , airpod user .

The noise canceling is good but you can still hear the voices and sounds around you the ambient mode automatic switch when you talk is really helpful but it’s really really expensive and I don’t think all the features and the sound quality justifies the price tag.

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are basically perfect.
I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not so I went online and compared it with others noise cancellations headphones. I thought let try it out and I’m glad I tried it out coz the noise cancellations is something just what I was looking for and now that I tested it I simply love it. Although it looks heavy but it isn’t. Sounds seems good to me although I’m not into technicalities. Only problem I did not like the quality of the case.

Not totally the same as the original
I purchased this headphones for one reason, i want a completely sound/environment proof product that could satisfy my requirements.Prior to purchasing this item, i went to one of a reliable shop in one of the Malls in Dubai to check the quality and comparison to other brands, as i was testing this headphone from one of the shops I decided to get this online since price from amazon is much cheaper than the mall , took me only few days to receive upon ordering. I been trying to find the best set up from sony headphones apps being installed on my phone, apparently it’s completely different from the quality of the ones i tried at the mall shops. This is a lot of waste of money, i cannot return it because I threw the box and the amazon packaging etc.Do not buy this online. It’s a gamble, trust me… it irritates my eyesight whenever i see it in the corner of my house, and heartbreaking to see how much money i threw in the garbage.

Nice Product, Good Sound Quality But…
I ordered these to replace an old Bose headset, so I compare the Sony to them. The Sony looks nice and has a good sound quality, but they’re heavier than the Bose. They also squeeze your head quite a bit more, so wearing them for long periods isn’t very comfortable. Also, the setup and connection is a bit tedious. You have to do everything through an app. I’d prefer a paper Quick Start Guide, with easy instructions. Otherwise, they’re pretty good.

One of the best – amazing call quality
Great pair of headphones, for pretty much all purposes. One thing I will say though, I have the XM4s and they have a slightly better look and shape to them than these ones (plus they fold). XM5s are larger than I thought – but their advantage is incredible mic quality.

Great Noise Cancellation but….
Sony XM5 are no strangers and definitely the top brand in terms of quality and features. I got these after checking various reviews online on Youtube and different tech websites. Noise cancellation is superb and no complaints. Battery life is great, the case is quite big so it takes space in a bag. I wanted an all-purpose headphone for work and personal use. They are great overall but during calls, the person on the other end tends to receive a lot of background conversation if you are sitting in an office. It enhances the mic and picks up sound of others voice which is quite annoying for the person on the other side of the call. There is no easy fix, I hope they find a solution for that.

Perfect listening experience
I’m an Apple user yet didn’t want to get the AirPods Max because of the price + forced to use the case.I am so in love with these Sony headphones. The sound is incredible and balanced, bass feels heavy without tweaking the equalizer. The noise cancellation is amazing and I can’t wait to wear them on the plane. They’re very comfortable and light to wear as well. Readily surprised by these headphones and I’m so glad I got them. FYI listen to music on Apple Music with Lossless quality.

No wonder it is highly recommended by everyone
I checked reviews after reviews and each had to say this is the best headphones out there. I loved how light it is and comfortable. It does get slightly hot at times but since in dubai we are always in AC and airplanes are often too cold so wont be much of an issue. But out in the sun then yeah bear in mind. Audio and NC are top notch. Not as much as high end bang and olufson or at times bose level but still worth the price. Enjoy this you will not regret it.

Excellent purchase with a rarely matched sound quality, the noise canceling is so good that I use it sometimes as own isolated space at work when people tend to get little too comfortable when talking on the phone
