Description
When you’re looking for the absolute best in terms of Bluetooth or noise-cancelling headphones, look no further than the Sony WH-1000XM5. This awesome headphone is packed with all the latest audio and lifestyle-enhancing features you could need in a pair of Bluetooth over-ears.
The Ultimate Noise Cancellation Headphone
The Sony WH-1000XM5 offer superior noise-cancelling capabilities with the help of the newly-developed integrated Processor V1 and QN1 HD Noise Cancelling Processor. 8 microphones, four on each earcup, precisely capture ambient sounds resulting in a significant reduction of noise. The noise-cancelling performance is constantly optimised by the Auto NC Optimiser, which takes into account the atmospheric pressure and wearing conditions.
Listen to the Best
Sony's 30mm driver unit with a soft edge is designed to give you a clear listening experience without any background noise. The use of carbon fibre composite material in constructing the lightweight and highly rigid dome of the unit enhances sound clarity, especially in high-frequency sounds. This specific driver unit is created to increase high-frequency sensitivity, resulting in more realistic sound quality.
Designed with the Best
Sony utilises various technologies, such as a premium lead-free solder with gold for excellent conductivity, a Fine Sound Resistor for uniform power distribution and optimised circuitry for a better signal-to-noise ratio to provide a clear and consistent audio performance.
Hi-Res Audio Wherever You Go
Experience high-resolution audio even wirelessly with LDAC, a widely recognised audio coding technology. LDAC transfers about three times more data than standard Bluetooth audio codecs, which results in exceptional high-resolution audio quality.
AI For Even Better Audio Performance
DSEE Extreme is an Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that can upscale compressed digital music files in real time. It restores high-range sound lost in compression by using advanced algorithms to recognise musical genres, instruments and individual elements of each song.
Pick-ups Only What You Want
The WH-1000XM5 use Precise Voice Pickup Technology, which includes four beamforming microphones and an AI noise reduction algorithm, to isolate and enhance your voice. A new wind noise reduction structure also helps to reduce wind noise during calls. This technology ensures that you can hear and be heard clearly in any environment.
Be Heard Clearly
Thanks to an improved signal-to-noise ratio, the four microphones are calibrated to pick up your voice with high accuracy, even in noisy surroundings. The noise reduction algorithm, which was developed using AI machine learning and over 500 million voice samples, is effective in a wide range of settings and will suppress ambient noise to provide clear voice output during calls.
Adapts to Your Surrounding
Adaptive Sound Control modifies ambient sound settings according to your location and activities. It also analyses your routine and identifies your frequently visited places to adjust the music accordingly.
Smart Sensors That Understand You
Speak-to-Chat instantly pauses your music when you start talking so that you can communicate hands-free while wearing your headphones. It utilises the Sony WH-1000XM5's built-in microphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognise and react to your voice and resumes the music automatically once you're done talking. When you remove the headphones, they automatically stop playing music, thanks to a capacitive sensor that recognises when they're not being worn.
2-Device Pairing, 30-Hour Battery Life
Connect to two devices at the same time with the Sony WH-1000XM5. It recognises which device is ringing when you receive a call and connects automatically. You can also switch between the two devices by pressing a button. With a battery life of 30 hours, it's perfect for long journeys. If you need a quick charge, you can charge it for three hours in only three minutes with a USB-PD-compliant AC adapter.
Blazing Fast Pairing
Fast Pair allows you to easily connect your WH-1000XM5 to your Android devices while Swift Pair lets you connect them to your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer with just one tap. You can also quickly locate your headphones by calling them or checking their last known location on your smartphone.
Built to Be Snug
The WH-1000XM5 are designed with a lightweight and comfortable soft-fit leather material that blocks out external noise while fitting snugly around the head to reduce ear pressure. The headphones' stepless slider, seamless swivel, and headband offer a pleasant noiseless experience while wearing them.
Protects Your Hearing
You can determine if you're listening to music at safe sound pressure levels based on data recorded by the Sony WH-1000XM5, in accordance with the World Health Organization's recommendations with the Sony | Headphones Connect App.
Seamless Controls
Customise your headphones with Quick Access to quickly resume your Spotify music with just a few taps without touching your phone. Voice assistants like ‘Google’ or ‘Alexa’ offer hands-free assistance with tasks such as listening to music, receiving notifications, and setting reminders. The WH-1000XM5 also features intuitive touch controls to switch between noise cancelling and ambient sound, play or pause music, skip tracks and adjust the volume.

Let customers speak for us
from 4996 reviewsThis is really warm sounding as advertised. Especially vocals are more engaging. The fact that its driven by phone power doesn't affect the sound quality in anyway like in other dacs I have experienced brighter, thin sound or few peaks in upper midrange. If earphones are having good sensitivity then this dac provides good enough power. Although bit bulky build is very good. I'm sure it can withstand frequent drops also. Have not tried the filters and listening to default filter only. One thing I noticed is although on paper power output is good for 32ohm its only good at driving earphones and not headphones. Distortion kicks in when volume is increased even at high gain setting. I'm only guessing current supplying capability for dynamic driver headphones is not sufficient. Tested with 300ohm HD600.
The sound quality is so much better than any other wireless earphones
The quality of wire is superb.
The mic quality is also good.
Length and feel of wire is good. Sound quality with my Tangzu warner is excellent

Have bought this on 17 Aug 2024 and after using it for almost half a year i can surely say this is the best one in this price range...
I like how crisp and clear the audio is, also how good the IEMs respond to EQing, which unlocks a lot whole lot of possibility

Recently bought this after seeing some positive reviews
Fit:
Unlike many reviews which talks about it's fit issue, it's a wonderful fit for me with the stock large size narrow bore tips. I usually go for medium or small size silicone tips but for this one large one fitted well. i guess large size long stem eartips fits well with this iem.
Sound:
Vocals and string instruments sounds forward but never thin or sharp or fatiguing and has a sweet timbre. I guess it's due to its thick note weight and the quality of dynamic driver.
Bass in general is good. But i would prefer little bit more sub bass quantity. Also prefer the bass to be a bit tighter. Not too tight as i am not a fan of too tight bass. Basically here bass decay is slow and i would prefer it to be moderate.
Treble has just enough energy and details but relaxed.
Overall it sounds very nice with a pleasant timbre.
Note that i replaced the stock cable with fiio ls-b 4.4 mm cable.

Great set to start your tip rolling journey!
Got the delivery under 24 hrs.

This is wonderful product and quality is great. Very good working with mic.
And support samsung s22 ultra.
The Moondrop Blessing 3 is a hybrid IEM with excellent performance and a largely neutral sound signature with a slight bass boost. It offers impressive detail retrieval, resolution, and instrument separation for its price.
Pros:
* Excellent detail and clarity: It reveals subtle nuances in music.
* Balanced sound: Largely neutral with a well-controlled bass that doesn't bleed into other frequencies.
* Good technicalities: Strong imaging and separation of instruments.
* Comfortable for wearing for long periods
* Solid build quality
Cons:
* Fit can still be an issue for those with smaller ears.
* The cable could have been better.
Overall an excellent IEM for me.... Well done Moon drop!!!
The KZ ZSN Pro 2 offers exceptional sound quality at an affordable price. With a hybrid driver setup (1 dynamic + 1 balanced armature), it delivers a punchy V-shaped sound signature with deep bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The soundstage is surprisingly wide with good instrument separation and imaging. Build quality is solid, featuring metal faceplates and a comfortable, ergonomic design. While the cable and accessories are basic, the overall performance makes the ZSN Pro 2 a fantastic value for budget audiophiles.
Yes it is very comfortable 👍

Best under 2k for balanced sound.

Rarely do you find cases that offer this kind of value. I love it for two main reasons: there's no need to cram your IEMs like in typical compact cases, and it has enough room to fit a dongle DAC comfortably. You can even carry two IEMs if needed. The build is solid, and it feels premium all around. A great pick!

Suggested by Pritam—bought them and loved them. Insane value for the price! A must-have for beginners exploring the tip rolling game. While they mimic some branded ones, the material and build do differ—but the value is unbeatable. Highly recommended!

Purchased a iem from them.Nice packing safe delivery. Will definitely recommend beginner audiophiles to buy it from them.
