Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Over-ear wireless headphones with active noise cancellation, LDAC and thirty hours of battery. The 1000X series is the reference point the whole noise-cancelling category is compared against, which means this SKU sells without being explained and holds its price through a season. LDAC carries more data than standard Bluetooth audio, so a listener with a subscription that supplies it hears the difference — the specification that separates this from a cheaper pair with the same headline features. Thirty hours covers a long-haul return flight on one charge. The unit carries a UK plug. Case quantity and lead time confirmed on enquiry.
