The company announced its latest audio product via PR Newswire, sharing that its new headphones offer better sound and call quality, and are lighter and smaller than the previous model. The company also touts that its new earphones offer the “best noise canceling performance”. It is able to achieve this thanks to two proprietary processors, a new high-performance driver unit, dual feedback microphones and better noise-isolating earphone tips.

Now, while noise cancellation is important, so is sound quality. The WF-1000XM5 offers excellent sound quality thanks to the Dynamic Driver X, which is able to process 24-bit audio and produce robust sounds with minimal distortion. The headphones support wireless Hi-Res Audio via LDAC and Spatial Audio for the most immersive experience. Not only the sounds are clear, but also your voice during calls thanks to the Precise Voice Pickup technology.

The headphones have bone conduction sensors that can pick up vibrations directly from the user’s voice, allowing them to sound better for calls. It also offers AI processing to amplify voice in different environments, allowing users to have a reliable conversation no matter what is happening in the background. Perhaps most important about the new WF-1000XM5 is the new shape and style.

The new headphones have a new look and feel, offering a shiny new texture, with Sony saying the headphones are “approximately 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the WF-1000XM4”. This is a big deal if you plan on wearing them for hours at a time. Of course, you’ll get staples found in the previous model like multipoint connectivity, giving you the power to connect up to two devices simultaneously, making it easy to switch between devices.
