You can enjoy a personal audio experience free of distraction thanks to Sony's processor and microphone combination. Even in noisy environments, Sony's Integrated Processor V1 lets the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 control eight different microphones to cancel out ambient noise, with the WH-1000XM5 improving on high and midrange frequency blocking. Then there's Sony's Auto NC Optimizer that automatically maximizes proper noise cancellation based on your wearing conditions and environment, such as taking atmospheric pressure into consideration.
Hi-Res Audio
With LDAC support, the WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones can receive approximately three times the data than conventional Bluetooth transmissions, resulting in Hi-Res Audio from supported sources like select Android smartphones and media players. In addition, Sony's DSEE Extreme will upscale your compressed audio, using Edge-AI in real-time to recognize instruments, genre, and song elements to restore lost high-range sound. It's all pumped through newly developed 30mm drivers that are precisely engineered with the following range of sophisticated and high-quality components to achieve clear and consistent sound.
A soft TPU edge is used to help with noise cancellation, with a focus on low frequencies.
Carbon fiber composite with a high rigidity dome is used for sound clarity and natural sound, with a focus on high frequencies.
Fine Sound Resistor is used for even power distribution.
Optimized circuitry improves the WH-1000XM5's signal-to-noise ratio.
Everything is connected internally with premium lead-free solder that contains gold to improve connectivity
