Product details
The WH-1000XM5 is a headset you'll always want to have with you. For optimal results, Sony has refined the design of its wireless headphones with active noise cancellation. New, lightweight housing with comfortable, cushioned ear cups that keep out unwanted noise without applying too much pressure. Inside, 30mm drivers have been designed with noise cancellation in mind and deliver refined sound with remarkable detail in the mid and high frequencies - you can choose between LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs. Four microphones ensure clear speech intelligibility, while a further eight microphones are used to detect and reduce external noise, allowing this headset to excel in even the busiest environments. With the Sony Headphones Connect application, you can customise a wide range of parameters and turn the WH-1000XM5 into a true daily work tool.

Overall ratingVery good87/100

Very good86/100
- Clear sound
- smart ANC
- Sits very comfortably
- Basses too loud
- Limited surround sound
The Sony is comfortable. The smart noise-cancelling has become even better thanks to the well-sealing ear cups. It reproduces music clearly and powerfully. However, the precise bass should be more restrained. Sony's 360 Reality Audio surround sound is good, but limited to a few music tracks and suppliers.
The IMTEST comparison test shows that although more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, the red pencil is clearly noticeable, especially with a very affordable model like the Soundcore Space Q45. There is a lack of sound quality, but savings are also noticeable in the microphones and ANC...
Modern over-ear headphones are good sound all-rounders. The Technics EAH-A800 won the test thanks to their long battery life, great sound and a powerful app. The solid Space One from Soundcore deliver a lot of headphones for little money.

- Top class noise cancellation
- High wearing comfort
- Harmonious sound
- Wind noise louder than the predecessor
- Ear cups do not retract
Sony's WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling headphones impress in the practical test with phenomenal active noise cancellation. Compared to the already very good predecessor, the technology takes another significant step forward and reduces ambient noise of any kind to a whisper. The wearing comfort is also great; we were able to wear the headphones for many hours in the test without any complaints...
