After months of anticipation, Sony has finally rolled the curtains on the Sony WF-1000XM5. According to the company, the new wireless buds come with “Sony’s biggest ever step forward in noise cancelling.” In other words, Sony has greatly prioritized ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) for the new flagship earbuds.
And it shows! The Sony WF-1000XM5 comes with dual feedback microphones, which is a major upgrade from the predecessor. In addition, you will find a new integrated processor, which refines the audio output and noise cancellation capabilities of the brand-new Bluetooth buds.
Main Highlights of Sony WF-1000XM5
The dual feedback microphones of the Sony WF-1000XM5 improve the noise cancellation performance of low-frequency sounds. Thanks to that, you get better isolation in a wide range of environments. The Integrated Processor V2 takes things up a notch. According to Sony, it “unlocks the potential of the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e.”
These chipsets of the Sony WF-1000XM5 will control the microphones across both buds. And thanks to how efficient they are, you get an “unprecedented noise canceling quality.” You also get enhanced “Noise Isolation Earbud Tips.” They are specially tuned to reduce noise at the high-frequency range.

That said, noise cancellation is not the only upgrade the new buds bring to the table. In addition, the new buds come with support for High-Resolution Audio Wireless via the LDAC codec. Sony has also integrated DSEE Extreme for upscaling compressed music in real time.
Sony promises the best call quality through the “AI-based noise reduction algorithm.” Also, the Sony WF-1000XM5 is 20% lighter and 25% smaller than the WF-1000XM4. This design change enhances the comfort level.
There’s Speak-to-chat and Adaptive Sound Control on the new buds. These convenient features refine the experience with the Sony WF-1000XM5. Also, you get up to 8 hours of battery life from the buds. And as it has a fast-charging feature, low battery levels will not be something you should worry about.
That said, you cannot pick one of the pairs of Sony WF-1000XM5 right now. It will go on sale in August, retailing at $299, €319, or £259.
