The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones rewrite the rules for distraction-free listening. 2 processors control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed driver, DSEE – Extreme, and Hi-Res audio support, the WH-1000XM5 headphones provide awe-inspiring audio quality. The headphones are available in a Midnight Blue finish.

The Best Noise Canceling Headphones Get Even Better

The Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones combine the best-ever noise-canceling technology with superlative sound for a truly remarkable listening experience.

Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation

From airplane noise to people’s voices, the WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with 8 microphones for noise cancellation keep out higher and mid-frequency sounds than ever. And with the new Auto NC Optimizer, noise canceling is automatically optimized based on your wearing conditions and environment.

Multi Noise Sensor Technology

With 8 total microphones, these headphones are the biggest step forward in noise-canceling technology. Ambient sound is captured even more accurately for a dramatic reduction in high-frequency noise. Thanks to the new Auto NC Optimizer, noise canceling performance is always and automatically optimized based on wearing conditions and external environmental factors such as atmospheric pressure.

Incomparable Noise Processing

Specially developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 unlocks the full potential of the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. This unique combination of technology controls 8 microphones to deliver unprecedented noise-canceling quality.

Newly Designed Driver

A new 30mm precision-engineered driver unit featuring a soft TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) edge enhances noise canceling, especially in low-frequency ranges, helping you enjoy your music precisely without ambient noise. The carbon fiber composite material is lightweight and the high-rigidity dome improves sound clarity, especially in high-frequency ranges.

Magnificent Sound, Engineered to Perfection

The light and rigid precision-engineered driver unit improves high-frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. Sony's unique technologies include a premium lead-free solder containing gold for excellent conductivity, Fine Sound Resistor for even power distribution, and optimized circuitry for an improved signal-to-noise ratio to ensure clear, consistent sound.

High-Resolution Audio With and Without Wires

The WH-1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, the industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.

Real-Time Restoration of All Your Compressed Files

Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, it restores high-range sound lost in compression.

Crystal Clear Hands-Free Calling

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.

4 Microphones, Focused on Your Voice

Equipped with 4 beamforming microphones, the WH-1000XM5 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.
