Back in May 2022, Sony launched the WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones in the global market. Indian customers have been patiently waiting for the headphones to arrive in the country, and it appears the wait is finally about to end.

Sony has teased the WH-1000XM5 headphones on its Indian website, and a similar teaser also went live on Amazon India. Considering that the Great Indian festival sale is coming up, Sony could launch these headphones on September 23rd in India.

Sony WH-1000XM5 specs & features

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is claimed to have the best noise-canceling capability in the market. The headphones achieve this using eight microphones that help to dramatically reduce noise, mainly on the medium and high-frequency bands.

The XM5 also claims to have the highest quality audio in the industry. It features a distinct design compared to the XM4, and this time around, the company states that it has focused a lot more on comfort. The earcups can rotate sideways, but can’t be folded inwards like the last gen.

They come with large 30mm dynamic drivers and use Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity. Sound profiles like SBC, AAC, and LDAC audio formats, and A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, and HSP are all supported. There is also AI-based DSEE Extreme technology included in the earphones that restores quality and clarity to lossy compressed formats.

The XM5 has a battery life of up to 30 hours for music playback with ANC on and up to 40 hours without ANC. A full charge takes about 3.5 hours, and you can charge via a USB Type-C port. The headphones cost $399.99 worldwide, which is equivalent to about Rs 31,650.
