Sony Headphones WH-1000XM5 Black

Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless noise-canceling headphones

YOUR WORLD. NOTHING ELSE.

The WH-1000XM5 features two processors that control eight microphones, Auto NC Optimizer technology that automatically optimizes noise cancellation based on the environment the headphones are used in, and a specially designed driver unit. The headphones' industry-leading noise cancellation1 sets new standards in distortion-free listening experiences and call quality.

Best noise cancellation

Our wireless WH-1000XM5 headphones have multi-microphone noise cancellation that blocks out more high and mid-frequency sounds, from airplane noise to others' voices. With Auto NC Optimizer, noise cancellation is also automatically optimized based on the environment you are using the headphones in.

Multi-sensor technology

With four microphones in each earcup, we take a significant step forward in noise cancellation. Ambient sounds are captured even more accurately, and high-frequency noise is significantly reduced. Thanks to Auto NC Optimizer, noise cancellation is always automatically optimized based on the environment the headphones are used in, as well as external factors like air pressure.

Unmatched noise cancellation

The Integrated Processor V1 has been specially developed by Sony and harnesses the full potential of our HD noise canceling processor QN1. This unique technology combination controls eight microphones to provide unparalleled noise cancellation.

Specially designed 30mm driver unit

The specially designed 30mm driver unit with a soft edge enhances noise cancellation so you can listen to music without background noise. The carbon fiber composite material provides a lightweight and rigid dome for clearer sound, especially in high frequencies.

Superior sound, perfectly crafted

A specially designed 30mm driver unit with a lightweight, rigid composite material dome with carbon fiber improves sensitivity to high frequencies for more natural sound. The unique Sony technology includes premium lead-free solder with gold for excellent conductivity, a resistor for good sound that delivers even power distribution, and optimized circuits for better signal-to-noise ratio, providing clear, consistent sound.

Listen to High-Resolution Audio with or without cables

Thanks to LDAC, our industry-leading audio coding technology, the WH-1000XM5 supports both wired and wireless High-Resolution Audio. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio, delivering exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files

With Edge-AI (artificial intelligence), DSEE Extreme scales up compressed digital music files in real-time. It dynamically identifies instruments, music genres, and individual parts in each song, restoring high tones lost during compression.

Leading call quality

Our precise voice pickup technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice with precision. A newly developed wind noise reduction structure minimizes wind noise during calls. You can always hear and be heard clearly wherever you are.

Multiple microphones focusing on your voice

These headphones have four beamforming microphones calibrated to capture only your voice. With improved signal-to-noise ratio, they capture every word, even with a lot of noise around.

Crystal-clear, noise-free calls

With precise voice pickup technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call hears your voice clearly, even in noisy environments. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed using AI machine learning that collected over 500 million voice samples to suppress background noise and clearly amplify your voice in various environments.

Easy handling

Our smart features make it easier than ever to enjoy and engage with your entertainment all day. For example, you can play music and control the volume without opening your phone by simply pressing a button on the headphones. The headphones also detect when you speak and can temporarily pause the music. It's easy to use the headphones, seamlessly fitting into your life.
