9 months ago
The Sony WH1000XM5 wireless noise canceling headphones are some of the best noise canceling headphones on the market. Using the Auto NC Optimizer adjusts the noise canceling in real time based on your wearing conditions and the surrounding environment. And the sound quality is incredible.
Key Features:
- Industry-leading Noise Cancellation
From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. And with Auto NC Optimizer, noise canceling is automatically optimized based on your wearing conditions and environment.1
- Multi Noise Sensor technology
With 8 total microphones, these headphone are our biggest step forward in noise canceling technology. Ambient sound is captured even more accurately for a dramatic reduction in high frequency noise. Thanks to Auto NC Optimizer, noise canceling performance is always and automatically optimized based on wearing conditions and external environmental factors such as atmospheric pressure.
- Incomparable noise processing
Specially developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 unlocks the full potential of our HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. This unique combination of technology controls eight microphones to deliver unprecedented noise canceling quality.
- Newly designed driver
A new 30mm precision-engineered driver unit featuring a soft TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) edge enhances noise canceling, especially in low frequency ranges, helping you enjoy your music precisely without ambient noise. The light and rigid driver improves sound clarity and bass reproduction.
- 4 microphones, focused on your voice
Equipped with 4 beamforming microphones, the WH-1000XM5 headphones are calibrated to only 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.
- Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
Adaptative Volume control automatically optimizes volume based on your environment. When activated, it learns your behavior and recognizes locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favorite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.
- Speak to Chat
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 smart feature uses microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognize and react to your voice. Once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.3
- High-Resolution Audio with and without wires
The WH-1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data4 than conventional Bluetooth® audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.
- Instant pause. Instant play.
Just take the headphones off and the music stops – a capacitive sensor knows when you are wearing them. It also helps improve detection accuracy and design. Put the headphones back on and the music starts again.
- Multipoint connection
For total convenience, these Bluetooth headphones 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.

With up to 30 hours of battery life, you’ll have enough power even for long trips. If you need to charge in a hurry, you can get 3 hours' worth of charge after just 3 minutes with an optional USB-PD compatible AC adapter.
- Fast Pair
The WH-1000XM5 supports Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature.11 It lets 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.

Delivery of our stove was PHENOMENAL! Received a text with our 2 hour window. Received a call from the delivery crew prior to our delivery time stating they we’re running a bit early asking if they could come right away. ABSOLUTELY! Who doesn’t want to wait around for a delivery. Upon arrival they were considerate of our home and our new stove to make sure they got it in without any damage to both whatsoever. Installed our new stove while explaining every step. We even got a brief tutorial on its operation. Removed the old stove with the same care. Total professionals with high quality service. Special kudos to the Irish fella. He was extremely polite and professional. We will definitely be back to Abt.
