Sony WH 1000XM5 have a weight of 250g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.

One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Sony WH 1000XM5 are one of those. Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, Sony WH 1000XM5's cable is designed to minimize tangling.

Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to bends in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or completely damaging your headphones. A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction.

Sony WH 1000XM5 comes with a 1.2meters cable. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Sony WH 1000XM5 have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.

Sony WH 1000XM5 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.

In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

Sony WH 1000XM5 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise.

This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Sony WH 1000XM5 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.

Sony WH 1000XM5's lowest frequency is at 4Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Sony WH 1000XM5's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.

The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sony WH 1000XM5's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Sony WH 1000XM5 driver unit is 30mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current.

The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Sony WH 1000XM5's impedance is 48Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so.

They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Sony WH 1000XM5 have this type of magnet. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.

The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Sony WH 1000XM5's battery life is 30 hours It takes 3.5 hours to fully charge the Sony WH 1000XM5's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.

Sony WH 1000XM5 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your headphones. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.

Sony WH 1000XM5's battery power is 1,200mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. Sony WH 1000XM5's battery can be recharged and used over again.

Sony WH 1000XM5 can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement. 2.4GHz wireless is used for devices such as headsets such as the Sony WH 1000XM5, keyboards, and mice similar to Bluetooth but with a proprietary radio frequency. It typically offers better performance than Bluetooth, with low latency and good stability.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sony WH 1000XM5 has a v5.2 Sony WH 1000XM5 support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.

Sony WH 1000XM5 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio. Sony WH 1000XM5 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.

It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances.

The Sony WH 1000XM5 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device. Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc.

Sony WH 1000XM5 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there. All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor. Sony WH 1000XM5 have only 8 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Sony WH 1000XM5 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments. Sony WH 1000XM5 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard.

It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic. Sony WH 1000XM5 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life and improving your listening experience while at it.
