Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM5 Midnight Blue headphones are wireless over-ear models built for distraction-free listening. Active noise cancellation uses two processors and eight microphones to filter ambient sound. A newly developed 30mm driver supports Hi-Res Audio for high-quality playback. The lightweight design with soft fit leather aims for all-day comfort.

Best for daily commuters and office workers

These suit people who want strong noise cancellation and long battery life for travel or open-plan offices. Hands-free calling benefits from four beamforming microphones with precise voice pickup. Buyers who need a wired connection or prefer on-ear designs should consider other options. The Auto NC Optimizer adjusts cancellation automatically to wearing conditions.

Up to 30-hour battery with quick charge

A full charge provides up to 30 hours of playback for extended use. Quick charging delivers three hours of listening from a three-minute top-up. Heavy users relying on maximum ANC and high volume may see shorter runtime. There is no capacity specification beyond the stated battery life figure.
