The best noise canceling1

From airplane noise to people's voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with multiple-microphone noise canceling 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.

Superlative sound, engineered to perfection

Sony unique technologies include a premium lead-free solder containing gold for excellent conductivity, Fine Sound Resistor for even power distribution and optimized circuitry for an improved signal-to-noise ratio to ensure clear, consistent sound.

Industry-leading call quality6

Our Precise Voice Pickup Technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise-reduction algorithm to isolate your voice precisely. A newly developed wind noise reduction structure minimizes wind noise during calls. Wherever you are, you'll always hear and be heard clearly.

All-day comfort with a noiseless design

These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds.

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.
