Japanese tech giant Sony is clearly trying to reclaim the title of best wireless earbuds with the Sony WF-1000XM5. Let’s look at the specifications, features, price, and availability of these premium TWS earbuds with a dedicated ANC chip and Dynamic Driver X to see if the company succeeds.
Sony WF-1000XM5 Specifications, Features
The newly announced Sony WF-1000XM5 earphones succeed the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds, which were launched globally about two years ago. The latest TWS earbuds pack several upgrades over their predecessor.
The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds promise improved sound, noise cancellation, and better call quality. The wireless earbuds are equipped with Sony’s Integrated Processor V2 chip and the QN2e processors for improved ANC performance.
Sony has also incorporated its Dynamic Driver X, and 24-bit audio processing, DSEE Extreme upscaling technology into the WF-1000XM5. In addition to the SBC and AAC audio codecs, they also support Sony’s LDAC codec for Hi-Res wireless audio streaming.
Sony claims the WF-1000XM5 has Deep Neural Network (DNN) processing and bone conduction sensors. These software and hardware features promise to improve call quality even in environments with loud ambient sounds.

The earbud’s case features a USB Type-C port for charging, but it also supports wireless charging. The Sony WF-1000XM5 TWS earbuds have an IPX4 rating for splash resistance.
