Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones

The WH-1000XM5 uses eight microphones and two processors, the Integrated Processor V1 and the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1, to cancel more mid and high frequency noise than earlier 1000X models, from aircraft cabins to voices. Auto NC Optimizer adjusts to the wearing conditions. Newly designed 30 mm drivers cover 4 Hz to 40 kHz, and DSEE Extreme and LDAC handle compressed and high-resolution sources.

Battery life is up to 30 hours with noise cancelling on and 40 hours off, with touch-sensor volume control on the ear cup. The closed, dynamic design weighs about 8.8 oz and includes a detachable cable with a gold-plated L-shaped plug. Black or silver.
