![]() However, to benefit from this audio codec, you'll need to use these headphones wired as Bluetooth can't transmit the amount of data necessary to play lossless content. Sony hasn't mentioned anything regarding ALAC support, which is Apple's lossless hi-res audio codec available via music services like Apple Music. If you prefer a different sound, you can customize their sound to your liking using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. They don't sound as balanced or neutral as the Apple AirPods Max Wireless, and the extra bass still muddies and clutters vocals and lead instruments. The mid and treble ranges have also been slightly retuned, which helps brighten vocals and lead instruments. The bass range is similar to the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless as it has extra thump, rumble, and boom, making these headphones well-suited for genres like EDM and hip-hop. The Sony WH-1000XM5 have a bass-heavy sound profile.

They have a touch-sensitive surface on the right ear cup and two physical buttons on the left ear cup. Overall, the layout and range of commands are similar to the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless. ![]() These headphones have good controls that are responsive and easy to use. We've purchased the product and are waiting for it to arrive in our lab. The product has arrived in our lab, and our testers will start evaluating it soon. Our testers have started testing this product. After comparing the Noise Handling performance of this mic to that of the Bose 700 Headphones Wireless, we have decided to lower the Subway Noise subjective scoring as the mic cuts out the voice as well as the loud noise at the peak of the subway. As a result, we decided to 'N/A' this test to improve the score close to real-life expectations. The original score poorly reflected real-life performance and the Weighted THD test negatively affected the score. We have re-evaluated the scoring of the Recording Quality test. ![]() We've added a comparison between these headphones and the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless in Build Quality. We've added a comparison between these headphones and the Focal Bathys Wireless in Bluetooth. Some users have also reported echoing during calls and we've investigated this in Recording Quality. However, there hasn't been a change in our results. We've retested Noise Isolation using firmware 1.1.3. We've added a comparison between these headphones and the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless in Build Quality. We've updated this review's text to ensure accuracy and clarity. We've tested these headphones for ALAC audio codec support and updated the Sound Profile test. We've also added new codec latency measurements and provided an audio sample of recorded latency. We've updated and renamed the following test groups: Wired Connection, Bluetooth Connection, and Wireless Connection (Dongle). We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.6, which updates how we measure latency. There have also been text changes made throughout the review, including to the usages and product comparisons to match these results. The following test group has been updated following TB 1.6: Wired Connection, and Bluetooth Connection. We've added a comparison between these headphones and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless in Virtual Soundstage. We've added a comparison between these headphones and the Dyson Zone Wireless in Wired Connection. We've updated the text to ensure consistency with the latest firmware updates and added relevant comparisons.
