Our best noise-canceling headphones are even better
Discover how the WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones combine our best noise-canceling technology with exceptional sound for a truly remarkable listening experience.
Industry-leading noise cancellation
From aircraft noise to people's voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with 8 noise-cancelling microphones prevent high and mid-frequency sounds like never before. And with the new Auto NC Optimizer, noise suppression is automatically optimized according to your wearing conditions and environment.
Beautiful sound, engineered to perfection
The lightweight, rigid, precision-engineered driver enhances high-frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. Sony's unique technologies include premium lead-free solder containing gold for excellent conductivity, fine sound resistor for even power distribution, and optimized circuitry for improved signal-to-noise ratio to ensure clear, coherent sound.
High-resolution wired and wireless audio
The WH-1000XM5 supports both high-resolution audio and wireless high-resolution audio, thanks to LDAC, our industry-leading audio coding technology. LDAC transmits around three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio for outstanding high-resolution audio quality.
Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Thanks to Edge-AI (artificial intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ scales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognizing instrumentation, musical genres and individual elements of each song, it restores the high-end sound lost during compression.
Talk to talk
As soon as you start a conversation, Speak-to-Chat automatically stops your music and lets in ambient sound - handy if you want to keep your headphones on or talk hands-free. This intelligent function uses microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognize and respond to your voice. Once you've finished chatting, your music starts playing again automatically.
