Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones get latest noise canceling tech
Sony launched the Bluetooth-compatible WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones. It will be released on May 27 and its projected market price, including tax, is 379 USD.
In addition to the standard model's "high-quality noise canceling processor QN1," a new "integrated processor V1" is fitted. In addition, by combining "multi-noise sensor technology" that efficiently gathers noise with four sensors put on the exterior and four sensors positioned on the interior of the headphones, the industry's best noise canceling performance is achieved.
The driver unit is a specifically constructed 30mm neodymium driver that utilizes high-quality solder and resistors tuned for headphones using Walkman-developed technology. Consequently, the reproduction and propagation of fine sounds and the perception of localization are claimed to be enhanced. The primary specifications include sensitivity of 102dB / mW (when wired connection is ON) and 100dB / mW (when wired connection is OFF), playback frequency band of 4-40,000Hz, and impedance of 48 (when wired connection is ON). Bluetooth standard is 5.2, profile is A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP, and codec is SBC, AAC, and LDAC.
1000XM5 800x600e 1000XM5 800x600f
The primary body colors are black and platinum silver. Maximum battery life is 30 hours (when NC is enabled) / 40 hours (when NC is OFF). The body weighs roughly 250 grams.

I still have a pair of XM3s and the ANC and sound quality on them was already top notch - for a pair of wireless headphones that is. I doubt the XM5s are any better, considering the XM4s were not. Granted, the XM3s are limited in other ways (e.g. can only be paired with one device at a time), but that's still not enough of an incentive for me to dump them outright. I think I'll keep them until the battery dies and "upgrade" then.

I have been using the XM4s as my daily drivers for the last year. They are really comfortable, have good bass response (not crazy), good battery life, and a really nice travel case. My only complaint is not being able to disable the ambient sound mode entirely, but it's no big deal to just button past it when cycling through the modes.
