What are these premium wireless headphones from Sony?
The WF-1000XM5 have an elegant and successful design, which is accompanied by excellent finishes. The circular-shaped in-ear earbuds can feel bulky once in the ear, but fit securely. Without being particularly suitable for playing sports, the headphones stay in place correctly even during movements. They are also IPX4 certified and resistant to rain and perspiration. They come with four tips of different sizes. These, with memory foam pads, provide effective passive insulation.
THE true wireless high-end from Sony also offer a well-balanced sound, with generous bass without being too intrusive, and instruments and vocal timbres that ring true. It’s a shame that the mediums are too discreet at times. The active noise reduction does an honest job of sound isolation, and cuts out external noise properly. Conversely, transparency mode leaves you aware of your surroundings, without distorting the audio quality.
Are the WF-1000XM5s a good sale deal?
At this price, it’s a pretty good deal for a quality pair of headphones. The Headphones Connect application, available on Android and iOS, accompanies the headphones and allows you to fine-tune the sound via an equalizer, adjust the noise reduction, or assign shortcuts on the touch surface. Note that the Sony WF-1000XM5 are equipped with multipoint Bluetooth, so they can be connected to several sources simultaneously.
Battery life is around 9 hours at a reasonable volume, and with noise reduction activated. The charging case allows you to add three additional charges.
