Product details

Amazing sound quality. Thanks to the Dynamic Driver X, a specially developed driver unit for reproducing a wide frequency spectrum, you will experience richer vocal sound and more details. The diaphragm structure combines different materials for the dome and the edge of the headphones, resulting in low distortion and clear sound quality. To reduce distortion, the HD QN2e Noise Cancelling processor and the integrated V2 processor have been combined to integrate precise 24-bit audio processing and powerful analog amplification. The result is minimal distortion and crystal-clear audio playback.

Thanks to LDAC, the industry-recognized audio coding technology, the WF-1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless. With these headphones, you also enjoy precise upscaling. 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. Enhance your listening experience by analyzing your unique ear shape with the Sony | Headphones Connect app and enjoy the optimal, immersive music experience.

    Sony has improved in all the right places: the WF-1000XM5 play in the Champions League. The wireless in-ears owe this to their effective noise-cancelling and great sound. This not only puts them at the top of the Sony cosmos, they are also among the few Bluetooth in-ears with a test rating of "very good".

    Soberly, the Sony WF-1000XM5 test can be summed up in just one sentence: The new Sony earbuds are the best in-ear headphones with ANC that money can currently buy. The sound is excellent, the active noise cancellation unrivalled and almost on a par with over-ear headphones. The battery lasts for a long time, the build quality is absolutely flawless and the XM5s also lack nothing in terms of functionality...
