The WH-1000XM5 is the newest version of Sony’s popular WH series of Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) headphones, complete with an updated design, long-lasting battery life, Bluetooth and wired audio, and great sound quality. There’s a USB Type-C port for charging, like most wireless headphones at this point. You can adjust the audio equalizer with the Sony Headphones Connect app, available for both iPhone and Android.
We gave the headphones a score of 9/10 in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review, awarding points for the best-in-class ANC, excellent sound quality, and decent microphone for calls. However, we were a bit bummed by the lack of an IP rating or any kind of water resistance, and the memory foam and synthetic layer can get warm in hot outdoor weather.
