Sony’s high-end headphones are considered the gold standard by consumers and professionals alike. By collecting 5 stars during their passage through the laboratories of Digital, the WF-1000XM4 had also made a strong impression on the editorial staff.

The best noise reduction

Just slide the WF-1000XM5 headphones into your ears to realize it. Noise reduction, which was already excellent on the WF-1000XM4, reached an unprecedented level now covering a wide bandwidth from low to high frequencies.

By equipping each earphone with three microphones, two of which are feedback microphones, Sony manages to capture ambient noise like never before and can thus improve noise reduction. The new diaphragm Dynamic Driver X, produces more precise cancellation waves in the low frequencies and works in tandem with the QN2e processor to adapt the rendering according to the environment. In addition, Sony has revised the design of the tips by opting for a polyurethane foam, flexible and elastic. It maximizes the contact area between the earmold and the ear canal, thereby improving the overall insulation.

The result is clear, especially in planes, trains or buses. The Sony WF-1000XM5 have the best noise reduction among the top 10 headphone brands, according to a study conducted according to the criteria of the standardization organization JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

Unparalleled audio quality

Sound quality has always been a hallmark of Sony headphones and THE WF-1000XM5 make no compromises in this respect. The new diaphragm Dynamic Driver X being able to cover a wide range of frequencies, the restitution is more accurate and balanced. Sony has also relied on new materials that help limit distortion and improve rendering even when pushing the volume to the maximum.
