Sony WH-1000XM5
With the Sony WH-1000XM5, or simply XM5, you can tune in to your favorite playlist or that important meeting and tune out the rest of the world when you need to. The follow-up to the highly rated XM4, this wireless wonder was released in 2022, yet it remains to be one of the most recommended pairs for work and play two years later.
These active noise-canceling headphones give you the best of all worlds, with two processors controlling eight microphones that deliver superior sound quality, noise cancellation, and call clarity. Meetings on the go are never an issue because they easily pick up and isolate your voice. And because it’s Sony, the XM5 is integrated with high-frequency sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio for dynamic sound—all without the hassle of wires. The XM5 is also quite lightweight, so long periods of wear aren’t bothersome. You don’t have to fret about running out of battery, too, because it packs up to 30 hours of juice. What makes these worth the price tag is its Adaptive Sound Control feature that learns your routines and automatically adjusts ambient sound settings in your usual locations. As expected of Sony, they’ve achieved an impressive blend of tech and design, and ultimately set a standard for high-performance headphones with the XM5.
The Sony XM5 is available at the gadget brand’s stores in malls nationwide and at www.sony.com.ph. It's also available on Lazada, Shopee, and Abenson.
