First of all, it is surprising that Sony radically changed the design of the series. Among other things, the shells are no longer collapsible and now hang on a thinner metal bracket. This increases stability and reduces the risk of creaking. However, the headphones now take up more space in luggage, even if they have a very flat transport box to store them. More importantly, weighing just under 250 grams, the XM5 is still extremely comfortable yet stable on the head. You can wear it for hours without any discomfort. The ears also have enough air, which means that you won't sweat in them. Sony opted for a sleeker look, switching to a stem-style slider and moving the microphones (there are now eight) around the perimeter of the ear cups. 1000XM5 they also use a new type of synthetic leather on the headband that is slightly thinner than previous models. Many testers report this.

Despite the changed design, control is carried out as in the predecessor via the touch surface on the outside of the right shell, or case. Sensors and wipers are well recognized, wrong touches, once you get used to things, are a rarity. There are two separate buttons on the left shell. One is used to turn Bluetooth on and off, and the other to activate or deactivate ANC. Convenient and easy.
Sony has not only significantly changed the design, a lot has also happened under the hood, including the "drivers", which have been reduced from 40 by 30 millimeters. However, the reduction should not harm the sound. XM5 it offers a wonderfully clear and transparent sound, according to many testers, based on strong, well-defined mid-range frequencies. Beneath these powerful yet well-measured and precise lows form a broad base, while crystal-clear highs offer plenty of detail. We will also test the matter in practice shortly.

The adaptability of the headphones to different musical styles is impressive. If you want to really test the XM5s, you can listen to them via cable or the Bluetooth LDAC High-Resolution Audio codec. The headphones are also capable of 360-degree sound, which can be particularly impressive with classical music. However, the range of supported music in general is still very sparse.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 sets new standards in active noise cancellation. If desired, the headphones can independently recognize various everyday situations and adapt the function accordingly. For example, ANC works at full power on an airplane or allows more external noise on the road for safety reasons. Alternatively, settings can be set for specific locations, which the XM5 determines and stores using the smartphone's GPS location.
Simple situations with continuous noise, such as on a plane or train, are child's play for ANC headphones. However, it also almost completely mitigates keyboard chatter or conversations with colleagues in the office. The XM5 is equally effective at suppressing road or construction noise.

If "Speak to Chat" is activated, it automatically switches to transparent mode and pauses playback as soon as you start speaking. If you just want to hear what's going on around you, you can place your flat hand on the touch surface.
Sony WH-1000XM5 he is also very good on the phone. The person you're talking to hears your own voice clearly and distinctly, even against loud ambient noise.
The excellent presentation of the headphones is complemented by the excellent Sony Connect app. In it you will find, among other things, a comprehensive equalizer, or you can analyze the shape of the ear with the smartphone camera for an improved sound experience. All settings can be saved and synchronized with other manufacturer's headphones via Sony servers.
All in all, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are excellent ANC headphones in every way. Absolute industry leaders when it comes to noise cancellation, and few competitors can match the sound. Cheaper headphones such as Bose Qietcomfort 45 (from 240 euros) or Sennheiser PXC 550-II (from 200 euros) are not much weaker. An interesting alternative is especially the predecessor XM5, which is now available from around 290 euros. Which is a really good price.
