Why the Sony WH-1000XM5 could be worth as a last-minute special gift
Similar to other Sony's popular noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM5 (review) are always a phenomenal set of audio gear you can add to your arsenal. They work excellently with iPhones and Android devices, so you can fully tap and take advantage of many features out of the headphones regardless of the ecosystem you rely on.
As regards the specifications and features, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are solid upgrades to their predecessors. The company gave them sleeker and more premium design touches, but the overall reduction in weight makes the headphones comfortable to wear in longer listening sessions. However, you should just take note there is no any water-resistant or sorts in them.
Similarly, there are vital enhancements to the audio system. Sony overhauled the sound drivers by reducing their size for less distortion while increasing the precision and keeping the bass and treble stand when compared to the previous generation.
Noise cancellation has always the forte of many of Sony's devices. This is proven on the WH-1000XM5 with twice the number of microphones than the WH-1000XM4, and along with the coprocessors, ambient noises are effectively suppressed for better calls and listening.
Even so, the battery life on the Sony WH-1000XM5 are solid with up to 30 hours of playback from a single full charge and with ANC switched on. You can stretch this to 40 hours when you disable the noise-canceling.
