Noise cancellation in TWS earbuds is relatively new, but the technology has come a long way since! With Sony’s expertise in music, it’s no surprise that they’ve raised the bar yet again and delivered the best noise cancelling performance on the market. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds now feature three microphones on each earbud, including dual feedback mics, which improve low-frequency cancellation performance. Additionally, newly developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V2 unlocks the potential of the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN2e. The unique combination of technology controls the six microphones, across both ears, to deliver top-notch noise cancelling quality that can be adapted to perform best in your surroundings.

Sony's always excelled when it comes to sound quality and their latest WF-1000XM5 earbuds are no exception. They've engineered a special Dynamic Driver X for crisper, detailed sound-giving, delivering rich, full vocals. Thanks to a diaphragm structure combining several different materials, you get highs that are crystal clear and rich bass with low distortion. The WF-1000XM5's also have support for High-Resolution Audio Wireless thanks to LDAC, as well as DSEE Extreme™ to upscale compared digital music in real time. Plus, with the 360 Reality Audio feature, these earbuds teleport you right into the heart of the music for an immersive audio journey!

Finally, we need to touch on Sony’s best ever call quality. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds use Precise Voice Pickup Technology and sophisticated audio processing to keep your voice crystal clear on all your calls - even in noisy environments. They utilize AI and machine learning, incorporating a noise reduction algorithm developed from over 500 million voice samples to fine-tune noise suppression and amplify your voice. Bone conduction sensors in the buds isolate your speech from background sounds for clear communication, regardless of the surroundings.
