Our new Integrated Processor V1 combines the Noise-Cancelling processor and Bluetooth® "System on Chip" technology on a single chip to deliver the highest level of noise-cancelling in the industry while consuming less power.
In our biggest step forward in noise-cancelling innovation, the WH-1000XM5 features 4 microphones on each earcup. This captures ambient sound more accurately for a dramatic reduction in high-frequency noise, providing high noise-cancelling performance that immerses you in premium sound with incomparable silence.
A new 30mm precision-engineered driver unit with a soft TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) edge improves noise-cancelling quality, sound clarity and bass sound reproduction, allowing you to enjoy your music precisely without ambient sound.
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio with and without wires, thanks to LDAC™, our industry-adopted audio coding technology which transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.

Our Precise Voice Pickup Technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice precisely. A newly developed wind noise reduction structure minimises wind noise during calls. Wherever you are, you’ll always hear and be heard clearly.
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.
Intelligently adjusts ambient sound settings according to your movement – for example, commuting or walking – for the ideal listening experience. You may opt to have your headphones recognise frequently visited places, such as your office or gym, and tailor sound levels according to your location.
When you’re talking with your WH-1000XM5 headphones on, it detects your voice and pauses your music automatically, letting ambient sound in so that you can have a quick conversation without taking your headphones off. By adjusting the amount of sound captured during Speak to Chat, you can hear your own voice more clearly, making it easier for you to converse.
A capacitive proximity sensor behind the earpad improves wearing detection accuracy to auto pause and resume your music when you take off or put on your headphones.
The WH-1000XM5 is fitted with a suite of smart features that make on-the-go listening and working from home a breeze.
With the WH-1000XM5, you can get hands-free help from Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri. Fetch your emails from Microsoft Outlook, join Microsoft Teams meetings and control features such as Noise-Cancelling / Ambient Sound mode with a simple voice command.
The WH-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth® devices at the same time, automatically connecting to the right device when a call comes in. You can also quickly switch your headphones to either of the two devices with a touch of a button.
Configure your WH-1000XM5 to resume Spotify music playback with two or three taps – without having to touch your smartphone.
The WH-1000XM5 is equipped with features to reduce the burden on your ears, in line with World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations. Check the impact that your sound volume has on your hearing by comparing the integrated sound pressure data recorded.
With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, you can adjust the volume of background sound with Ambient Sound Control and choose the option to let voices be heard. Meanwhile, the Equaliser lets you customise sound levels to suit your music.
More stretchable than general synthetic leather, the WH- 1000XM5’s earpads are fitted with newly developed Soft Fit Leather, which fits snugly around your head with less pressure on your ears while keeping out external sounds.
As part of our “Road to Zero” environmental plan to be achieved by 2050, the WH-1000XM5 will be packaged in plastic-free Sony Original Blended Material. As for the headphones itself, recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic from automobile parts is used for its design.
