About the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
The Sony WH-1000XM5 is Sony's premium wireless noise-cancelling headphone. It uses multiple microphones and two processors to deliver class-leading noise cancellation, with an Auto NC Optimizer that adjusts to your environment. The 30mm carbon fibre composite drivers produce detailed, balanced sound, and you can tailor it with the Sony Headphones Connect app. Battery life is up to 30 hours with noise cancellation on, and a quick 3-minute charge gives around 3 hours of playback. The lightweight design (approx. 250g) and soft fit make it comfortable for long listening sessions. It supports multipoint Bluetooth, so you can connect two devices at once, and includes smart features like Speak-to-Chat and quick attention mode.
