Active Noise Cancellation
Everyone enjoys a little peace at some point and wants to shut themselves off from the outside world. This is where Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) comes into the picture. So what exactly is Active Noise Cancellation?
Noise Cancellation refers to blocking out background noise/ambient noise. But let's be clear: No Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones can eliminate all sound; they can only considerably reduce outside noise, creating the impression that the noise is suppressed. However, when the phrase "Active Noise Cancellation" is used, it signifies that the Wireless Headphones are actively searching for noise to block it out.
ANC is a technology that reduces or cancels out the surrounding or ambient noise. It reduces low-frequency noise like the sound of a jet engine or car engine. ANC specifically reduces low-frequency noise well. However, it is not capable of cancelling out high-frequency noise optimally. Wireless Headphones with ANC deliver class-leading ambient noise reduction, significantly improving sound quality.
If you're someone who is a frequent flyer, ANC helps eliminate constant droning noises from jet engines so you can sleep more easily during long-haul flights.
Battery Life
Wireless headphones have built-in batteries in the earcups, so these headphones do not need external power to play music.
Battery life is a measurement of battery performance. It is the amount of time your Wireless headphones will have enough power. It can be summed up; as how long a battery will last before your Wireless headphones need to be recharged.
Nothing interferes with your music, thanks to the high-performance and long-lasting battery. No interruptions, just pure sonic bliss!
Multi-point Connection
Bluetooth multipoint technology was introduced with the release of Bluetooth 4.0, over a decade ago. It’s a feature that allows Wireless headphones to maintain simultaneous connections to at least two source devices like a laptop and smartphone.
Multipoint allows you to seamlessly switch between devices, such as a computer and phone, without touching your devices. Multipoint technology is a great asset to increase productivity and convenience as you go through your daily life - from home to work. The simultaneous playback of audio from two devices is not possible with Multipoint, though.
In simple terms, Multipoint enables you to maintain a connection to two of your favourite, often-used devices at the same time. It is a great functionality allowing you to multitask without the hassle of tweaking the settings of Bluetooth.
Gesture Controls
Gestures Controls in Wireless Headphones give you control of various functions at the tip of your finger (literally). The easy-to-use touch control interface allows intuitive gesture controls for volume and music playback – you can swipe forward/backwards to switch tracks and up/down to adjust volume (may vary with devices).
With Gesture controls onboard you don’t have to reach for your source device to execute simple tasks. This elevates the listening experience.

SONY REWRITES ALL THE RULES FOR WHAT A HEADPHONE CAN OFFER WITH THE ALL-NEW WH-1000XM5
Sony's WH-1000XM series headphones have established a market niche for themselves, and the WH-1000XM5 is the newest to join the series. The Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are the latest generation of Sony's flagship wireless headphones. These premium over-ear headphones offer a fresh style that distinguishes them from their predecessor due to their mostly recycled (and recyclable) design. Sony has also fine-tuned its sound, improved the performance of its integrated microphone and optimised and automated the active noise cancellation (ANC) technology. The WH-1000XM5 headphones also include a newly designed driver, DSEE - Extreme, and Hi-Res audio support to give an awe-inspiring audio experience. Sony pushes the limit in every way with the WH-1000XM5, resulting in a sonic triumph.

LISTEN TO HI-RESOLUTION AUDIO WITH OR WITHOUT WIRES AND EXPERIENCE DSEE EXTREME TECH
The team at Sony leaves no stone unturned with the WH-1000XM5. To deliver the highest quality of music listening experience the 1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, Sony’s industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality. This means you will never miss a single element in the music, whether using the headphone wirelessly or through a wired connection. To take the listening experience even further the 1000XM5 uses Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) and DSEE Extreme tech to upscale compressed digital music files in real-time. This tech Dynamically recognises instrumentation, musical genres and individual elements of each song, it restores high-range sound lost in compression.

WORLD-CLASS NOISE CANCELLATION THROUGH MULTI-NOISE SENSORS AND ADVANCED NOISE PROCESSING
Sony is the market leader in noise-cancellation technology, and with each version of the flagship WH-1000XM series, they take things to a new level. This is especially true with the WH-1000XM5, which combines Sony's best-ever noise cancelling technology with exceptional quality for a genuinely unforgettable listening experience. The WH-1000XM5, with its 8 noise cancellation microphones, keeps out more high and mid-frequency noises than ever before, from aeroplane noise to people's voices. Furthermore, the new Auto NC Optimiser automatically optimises noise cancellation based on your wearing conditions and ambient parameters such as air pressure. The WH-1000XM5 also integrates Processor V1 to unlock the full potential of the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. This one-of-a-kind technology controls eight microphones to provide unrivalled noise cancellation quality.



UNCOMPROMISED SOUND WITH NEWLY DESIGNED DRIVERS THAT ARE BRILLIANTLY ENGINEERED
The Sony WH-1000XM5 has been designed with cutting-edge technology and components to provide a truly immersive listening experience. The 1000XM5 incorporates a newly developed driver that improves the listening experience tenfold. Carbon fibre composite material is used in the specially designed 30mm (precision-engineered) driver unit with a light and sturdy dome to boost high-frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. Sony also employs proprietary technologies such as a premium lead-free solder containing gold for superior conductivity, a Fine Sound Resistor for equal power distribution, and optimised circuitry for a higher signal-to-noise ratio to provide clear, consistent sound. With these working in perfect harmony, the 1000XM5 presents a listening experience that is an improvement above previous models.


EMBEDDED WITH 4 DEDICATED MICROPHONES FOCUSED ON YOUR VOICE FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR CALLING
The Sony WH-1000XM5 comes with 4 beamforming microphones calibrated to pick up your voice. An improved signal-to-noise ratio enables them to catch every single word, even when there’s a lot of noise around. Along with these 4 microphones, the 1000XM5 also utilises Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing. With this, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy environments. Sony’s 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.

ADVANCED SPEAK-TO-CHAT TECH WITH VOICE ASSISTANT AND INSTANT PLAY & PAUSE FEATURE
Sony engineers have combined cutting-edge technology into the WH-1000XM5 for ease of use. The 1000XM5 includes a state-of-the-art Speak-to-Chat feature, which means that when you start a chat, the function immediately stops your music and allows ambient sound. This function is practical if you use headphones or want to converse hands-free. This function recognises and responds to your speech using microphones embedded into the headphones and sophisticated audio signal processing. When your conversation ends, your music resumes automatically. This capability is extended to music playback, and when you remove the headphones, the music pauses. This is possible using a capacitive sensor that detects whether you are wearing headphones. It also aids in the improvement of detection accuracy and design. Replace the headphones, and the music resumes. You may also use your voice to activate your voice assistants. To activate your favourite voice assistant, say "OK Google" or "Alexa." You can also use Google Assistant or Siri to control your headphones' capabilities like noise reduction, listening to and interacting with emails in Microsoft Outlook, and attending Microsoft Teams meetings.

SEAMLESS BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY WITH MULTIPOINT CONNECTION, FAST PAIR & SWIFT PAIR FEATURE
Like every aspect of the WH-1000XM5, the Bluetooth connectivity has been upgraded to the latest 5.2 version. Using this the effective range of connectivity is around 32.81 ft, allowing you to move around without worry about disconnection or interruptions. For total convenience, the WH-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connects to the right one automatically. You’ll also be able to quickly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. The WH-1000XM5 supports Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature, letting you easily locate where you left your headphones by tone sound or checking their last known location in Google’s Find My Device app on your smartphone. You can easily pair the 1000XM5 with your computer with Swift Pair. Swift Pair makes it quick and easy to pair your headphones with your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop, desktop PC or tablet. Pop-up pairing guidance appears on nearby Windows 11 or Windows 10 devices when pairing mode is selected.

DEDICATED HEADPHONES CONNECT APP, 360 SPATIAL SOUND PERSONALIZER APP AND SUPPORTING DOLBY ATMOS SOUND
Sony has created a dedicated application for the WH-1000XM5 headphones. The Sony Headphones Connect App compares sound pressure data captured by your headphones with World Health Organization guidelines to determine how safely you're listening to music (WHO). When your listening levels are too high, you will be notified. The 1000XM5 also offers 360 Reality Audio, which allows you to immerse yourself in the aural environment around you. This experience is as immersive as being at a live performance or in a studio with the artist. There is a dedicated Sony 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app allowing you to enjoy an optimised listening experience. When using WLA-NS7 to connect to BRAVIA XR TVs (sold sep), this software records and analyses your ear shape, allowing these headphones to generate your spatial sound field. With a Sony WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter linked to a BRAVIA XR TV (available separately), your headphones produce the arrangement of phantom speakers all around you, allowing you to enjoy a Dolby Atmos experience.

ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE OF QUICK ACCESS AND INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROLS ALONG WITH QUICK CHARGING
The Sony WH-1000XM5 is meant to be incredibly responsive and intuitive, and it incorporates all of the latest technologies. One such feature is the headphones' intuitive touch control setting. With this touch control setting, you may switch from Noise Cancelling to Ambient Sound by pressing the button on the left side or using the touch panel on the right side to play or pause music, skip songs, change volume, and much more. You can also use the Quick Access function, which allows you to configure Spotify music playback to resume with two or three taps - no need to touch your smartphone. Another feature of the WH-1000XM5 is its fast charging capability and long-lasting battery. You will have adequate juice for extended travels with a battery life of up to 30 hours. If you need to charge quickly, a USB-PD compliant AC adapter may provide 3 hours of power in just 3 minutes. This battery life and rapid charging functionality allow you to listen to music without interruptions.


EXUDING AN ERGONOMIC NOISELESS DESIGN FOR ALL-DAY COMFORT AND COMES WITH A COLLAPSIBLE CASE
The design language of the all-new Sony WH-1000XM5 is elevated over its predecessor to minimise weight and provide a snug fit. These lightweight headphones feature freshly created soft-fit leather. This material wraps around the skull, putting less strain on the ears while blocking outside noise. The exquisite design of the WH-1000XM5 with stepless slider, smooth swivel and hanger, and silent joints makes it a pleasure to wear. You also receive a compact case to transport or store your 1000XM5 headphones while they are not in use. Furthermore, there is no plastic in the WH-1000XM5 packaging, which is based on low toxicity design principles and a more socially responsible 'Made to be Remade' attitude. Other than labels, 99 per cent of paper packaging is made from recycled and sustainable materials created specially for Sony. The WH-1000XM5 additionally makes use of recycled plastic from vehicle parts.
