Product Description
Sony’s WF-1000XM5 TWS ANC Earbuds stand out as the best noise-canceling buds in the market. They boast cutting-edge technology that delivers premium sound quality and unparalleled noise-canceling performance. The earbuds, with their sleek and compact design, fit snugly in your ear, providing an immersive sound experience. They not only offer the best ANC experience among Sony earbuds but also excel in call quality capabilities.
Design and Build
With improved glossy texture and a luxurious feel, these headphones fit comfortably in your ear and come with a smaller case, so they fit even more sleekly in your pocket.
Max Comfort
The WF-1000XM5 earbuds from Sony are designed for maximum comfort and stability. Their shape perfectly matches the human ear, ensuring a secure fit. Sony’s extensive research on ear shapes and sensitivities, dating back to the introduction of the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982, has led to the creation of an ideal earbud shape that is comfortable and secure for almost everyone.
Better Fit and Sound Insulation
New Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort. A newly designed shape reduces pressure in the ear. The earbuds come in four sizes, including a new extra-small version.
Call Quality
The Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice even in noisy situations.
Speech Vibration Detection To Enhance Clarity
Bone conduction sensors pick up the vibration of your voice directly from your skull bones, helping to isolate your speech from ambient sounds and background noise for clear calls in even loud environments.
Precise Voice Pickup Technology
With precise voice pickup technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Sony’s noise reduction algorithm was developed using AI machine learning and more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise, increase accuracy, and extract your voice clearly in various environments.
Wind Noise Reduction
A wind noise reduction structure and a mesh wrap in the microphone will minimize noise during calls so you can be heard clearly in windy conditions.
Immersive Sound Experience
The specially designed 8.4mm driver unit, Dynamic Driver X, provides wide frequency reproduction to enjoy more affluent, more detailed vocals.
More detailed Vocals
Thanks to a specially designed driver unit, Dynamic Driver X, for wide frequency reproduction, you will experience richer vocals and enhanced fine details. The diaphragm structure combines several materials for the dome and the edge, achieving low distortion and a clear sound quality.
Crystal clear audio reproduction
The WF-1000XM5 earbuds are equipped with two advanced processors, the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e and Integrated Processor V2. These processors incorporate precision 24-bit audio processing and high-performance analog amplification, resulting in low distortion and crystal-clear audio reproduction.
High-Resolution Audio
Sony WF-1000XM5 supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, over industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional high-resolution audio quality, closer than ever to studio recording.
Headphones Connect
With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the background sound volume and allows you to focus on voices. Thanks to the new Equalizer setting, you can adjust the sound by listening to and comparing your preferred sound quality within the app.
DSEE
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time, including those from popular streaming services. It dynamically recognizes each song’s instrumentation, musical genre, and individual elements and restores high-range sound lost in compression.
AR gaming
If you’re looking for new entertainment options beyond music and movies, the WF-1000XM5 uses cutting-edge sensors and spatial sound technology to deliver an immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like Niantic’s Ingress. When playing Ingress with the WF-1000XM5, these advanced technologies deliver a new experience: using head tracking, the sound is conveyed from different directions to line up perfectly with the action on the screen.
Multipoint Connectivity
For your total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. This means your headphones can automatically connect to the right one when a call comes in. With the multipoint connection, you can quickly switch to a ringing device and back by simply resuming playback on the other device. This feature is designed to make your life easier and more efficient.
Voice Assistant
Get hands-free help by saying “OK, Google” or “Alexa” to activate your preferred voice assistant. Then, listen to music, connect with friends, get notifications, set reminders, and more. You can even control the features of your headphones, like noise cancellation, with your voice. This compatibility with voice assistants empowers you to manage your tasks and enjoy your music without lifting a finger.
Smart and Swift Pairing
fast Pair
With only one tap, the WF-1000XM5 enables quick, effortless Bluetooth pairing with your Android devices.
Besides, you can even check to see where you last placed them.
Swift Pair
Swift Pair makes pairing your headphones with your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop, desktop PC, or tablet quick and easy. When selecting pairing mode, pop-up pairing guidance appears on nearby Windows 11 or Windows 10 devices.
Earbuds Control
Touch Control

You can even turn the volume up or down by tapping four or more times. With simple customization available in the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can assign your functions to each earbud.
Head Control
You can operate your earbuds using natural head gestures, such as nodding or shaking your head to receive or decline calls or operate Auto Play.
Quick Access
With Quick Access, you are just 2-3 taps away from your favorite songs or soundscapes. This feature allows you to configure your wireless earbuds on Spotify, Amazon, or Endel without using your phone.
Water Resistance
With an IPX4 water resistance rating on WF-1000XM5 TWS ANC Earbuds, splashes and sweat will and should not stop you – so you can keep moving to the music whether in the gym, out in the streets, or on the dirt tracks jogging.
Battery and Power Management

For your convenience, a 3-minute quick charge will give you up to 60 minutes of play. The Sony | Headphones Connect app will notify you when your charging case drops below 30%.
