What are these Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones on sale for the French Days?
The WH-1000XM5 offers a sleek design that is minimalist. Its straight lines and clean cuts don’t give it a premium helmet look, but its very thin headband and grainy plastic construction reflect the Japanese brand’s manufacturing quality. Its modern look and its robustness still come with a small weakness: the helmet cannot fold back on itself. It can nevertheless slip into the small bag provided and be transported with peace of mind. Comfort is there, and the flexibility of the WH-1000XM5 is significant, despite the lack of padding in the headband. The pads are comfortable once on the ears.
In the headset, you will also find four microphones. They allow a bluffing active noise reduction. A transparency mode is also present and you can switch from one to the other with a wave of your hand. Sony polishes the audio and the sound result is excellent.
