Sony is looking at new wireless headphones on its slate, and it brings the latest offers of the Japanese entertainment company that previous leaks claimed for the new device.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones still offer excellent noise-canceling features for everyone, but it brings a sleek design that has a thinner headband and some improvements to its features.

One of the main noticeable things about the new Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones is the latest design scheme that the company brought to the world. It confirms what the leaks initially claimed about the headphones, and it aims to get one of the many significant changes in the industry now.

The Japanese multimedia company announced the arrival of the new WH-1000XM5, and it is a new look to its previous headphones that have a thick headband strap for its design. It also hides the swivel arm to help stow the headphones better, unlike before, where it exposes the link between the strap and the main audio hub.

Sony only announced it now, but the device will be released by May 20 to the world. It is now available for pre-order via Sony's website for $399.99 for its package.

Better Features Confirmed for the WH-1000XM5

The new headphones do not only offer a new look or a sleeker design than their previous release but also better performance, says the company, for its overall audio features. It noted that Sony improved on the WH-1000XM5's noise-cancellation, better than its previous release with the WH-1000XM4.

Additionally, it provides a more unmistakable voice and audio when using it for calls, making it an ideal device to use for many purposes, even with hands-free and wireless setup.

Sony and its Wireless Headphones

Towards the end of April, there were leaks regarding the new release of Sony's famous wireless headphones line, with the WH-1000XM series that brought the world one of its top listening devices for all. The new headphones will succeed in the top-performing WH-1000XM4, which fans and enthusiasts globally have highly regarded.

One of the main leaks of the WH-1000XM5 is its design, particularly with the headband that would reduce the strap from its thick make down to its thin look in this release. Moreover, there are claims that the new release would feature better technology than the WH-1000XM4, despite being one of the tops during its generation.

Now, Sony has a lot riding on its new headphones, as they continue its reputation to bring a top-performing wireless audio device for the world to use. The Sony WH-1000XM5 brings a fresh look that the Japanese company did not introduce its technology before, but it would not be much of an issue should its performance match or go ahead with its previous release.
