Sony has announced the WH-1000XM5 headphones, which feature a redesigned design and improved noise cancellation

Sony also emphasizes the increased voice call quality enabled by four beamforming microphones and AI noise reduction techniques. LDAC, DSEE Extreme upscaling, 360 Reality Audio, Speak to Chat, and other hallmark Sony features have all made their way to the 1000XM5s.

In comparison to the WH-1000XM4s, which Sony intends to continue selling, these headphones don’t provide much new. However, the business appears convinced that they will outperform the 1000X-series headphones in the most essential areas such as sound quality, noise cancellation, and voice communications.
