UNCOMPROMISED SOUND WITH NEWLY DESIGNED DRIVERS THAT ARE BRILLIANTLY ENGINEERED

The Sony WH-1000XM5 has been designed with cutting-edge technology and components to provide a truly immersive listening experience. The 1000XM5 incorporates a newly developed driver that improves the listening experience tenfold. Carbon fibre composite material is used in the specially designed 30mm (precision-engineered) driver unit with a light and sturdy dome to boost high-frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. Sony also employs proprietary technologies such as a premium lead-free solder containing gold for superior conductivity, a Fine Sound Resistor for equal power distribution, and optimised circuitry for a higher signal-to-noise ratio to provide clear, consistent sound. With these working in perfect harmony, the 1000XM5 presents a listening experience that is an improvement above previous models.

EMBEDDED WITH 4 DEDICATED MICROPHONES FOCUSED ON YOUR VOICE FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR CALLING

The Sony WH-1000XM5 comes with 4 beamforming microphones calibrated to pick up your voice. An improved signal-to-noise ratio enables them to catch every single word, even when there’s a lot of noise around. Along with these 4 microphones, the 1000XM5 also utilises Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing. With this, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy environments. Sony’s noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly in a wide range of environments.

ADVANCED SPEAK-TO-CHAT TECH WITH VOICE ASSISTANT AND INSTANT PLAY & PAUSE FEATURE

Sony engineers have combined cutting-edge technology into the WH-1000XM5 for ease of use. The 1000XM5 includes a state-of-the-art Speak-to-Chat feature, which means that when you start a chat, the function immediately stops your music and allows ambient sound. This function is practical if you use headphones or want to converse hands-free. This function recognises and responds to your speech using microphones embedded into the headphones and sophisticated audio signal processing. When your conversation ends, your music resumes automatically. This capability is extended to music playback, and when you remove the headphones, the music pauses. This is possible using a capacitive sensor that detects whether you are wearing headphones. It also aids in the improvement of detection accuracy and design. Replace the headphones, and the music resumes. You may also use your voice to activate your voice assistants. To activate your favourite voice assistant, say “OK Google” or “Alexa.” You can also use Google Assistant or Siri to control your headphones’ capabilities like noise reduction, listening to and interacting with emails in Microsoft Outlook, and attending Microsoft Teams meetings.

DEDICATED HEADPHONES CONNECT APP, 360 SPATIAL SOUND PERSONALIZER APP AND SUPPORTING DOLBY ATMOS SOUND

Sony has created a dedicated application for the WH-1000XM5 headphones. The Sony Headphones Connect App compares sound pressure data captured by your headphones with World Health Organization guidelines to determine how safely you’re listening to music (WHO). When your listening levels are too high, you will be notified. The 1000XM5 also offers 360 Reality Audio, which allows you to immerse yourself in the aural environment around you.
