#Sony ANC Headphones

Renders of Sony’s follow up to its best selling noise canceling headphones have just surfaced online and will reportedly be called the Sony WH-1000XM5. The new headphones focus on refined design, premium materials, improved comfort, and immersive sound quality while retaining the flagship noise-cancelling technology found in the acclaimed Sony WH-1000XM6. The headphones feature a metal headband with matte sandblasted textures and polished accents, paired with specially developed faux leather that Sony says took two years to perfect. For comfort, Sony equipped the headphones with larger earcups, a wider cushioned headband, and stretchable leather materials designed to reduce pressure during extended listening sessions. On the audio side, the headphones use a newly developed driver with a high-rigidity dome made from unidirectional carbon composite material for improved overall soundstage performance. For noise cancellation, the headphones inherit the same technology used in the WH-1000XM6, including 12 microphones, Multi-Noise Sensor technology, and Adaptive NC Optimizer. The headphones are rated for up to 24 hours of battery life with noise cancellation enabled. Alongside the launch, Sony also introduced a new Sandstone color option for the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
