Product details

Amazing sound quality. Experience richer vocal sound and more detail thanks to the new Dynamic Driver X, a specially designed driver unit to reproduce a wide frequency spectrum.
The diaphragm structure combines different materials for the dome and rim of the headphones, ensuring low distortion and clear sound quality.

For less distortion, HD Processor for Noise Cancelling QN2e and Integrated Processor V2 have been combined to integrate precise 24-bit audio processing and powerful analogue amplification. The result is minimum distortion and crystal clear audio reproduction.

Thanks to LDAC, our industry-recognised audio coding technology, the WF-1000XM5 support High-Resolution Audio as well as High-Resolution Audio Wireless. You'll also enjoy precise upscaling with these headphones. Using Edge AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time, including those from popular streaming services.

These Sony headphones are also certified for 360 Reality Audio. Optimise your listening experience by analysing your individual ear shape with the Sony | Headphones Connect app for the optimal, immersive music experience.

  • NegativeRemoval from the case a little fiddly

Thanks to their great sound and very effective noise cancelling, the Sony play in the top league. The operation on the earplugs and via the app is also great. Thanks to the foam tips, the WF-1000XM5 not only seal really well, but also adapt to the ear canal.

  • PositiveFine sound
  • PositiveGood setting options via app
  • NegativeLE Audio can only be used to a limited extent

The WF-1000XM5 play in the top league. This is thanks to their effective noise-cancelling and detailed sound. LE Audio offers no advantages, but longer battery life. However, Sony restricts LE Audio to Xperia smartphones and there is still no sign of Auracast.

  • PositiveClear sound
  • Positivesmart ANC
  • PositiveFour foam attachments
  • NegativeRemoval fiddly
  • NegativeSpatial sound somewhat limited

Sony takes a special approach to surround sound: the customisation via ear photos does not work with Dolby Atmos, but only with tracks in the rare 360 reality audio format. Otherwise, the WF-1000 XM5 are really good in-ears with a beautifully clear sound. The clever noise cancellation and wearing comfort are also pleasing.

With top wearing comfort, very good noise cancelling, a powerful app including a strong equaliser, the Sony WF-1000XM5 impresses across the board.
