Description
When you’re looking for the absolute best in terms of Bluetooth or noise-cancelling headphones, look no further than the Sony WH-1000XM5. This awesome headphone is packed with all the latest audio and lifestyle-enhancing features you could need in a pair of Bluetooth over-ears.
The Ultimate Noise Cancellation Headphone
The Sony WH-1000XM5 offer superior noise-cancelling capabilities with the help of the newly-developed integrated Processor V1 and QN1 HD Noise Cancelling Processor. 8 microphones, four on each earcup, precisely capture ambient sounds resulting in a significant reduction of noise. The noise-cancelling performance is constantly optimised by the Auto NC Optimiser, which takes into account the atmospheric pressure and wearing conditions.
Listen to the Best
Sony's 30mm driver unit with a soft edge is designed to give you a clear listening experience without any background noise. The use of carbon fibre composite material in constructing the lightweight and highly rigid dome of the unit enhances sound clarity, especially in high-frequency sounds. This specific driver unit is created to increase high-frequency sensitivity, resulting in more realistic sound quality.
Designed with the Best
Sony utilises various technologies, such as a premium lead-free solder with gold for excellent conductivity, a Fine Sound Resistor for uniform power distribution and optimised circuitry for a better signal-to-noise ratio to provide a clear and consistent audio performance.
Hi-Res Audio Wherever You Go
Experience high-resolution audio even wirelessly with LDAC, a widely recognised audio coding technology. LDAC transfers about three times more data than standard Bluetooth audio codecs, which results in exceptional high-resolution audio quality.
AI For Even Better Audio Performance
DSEE Extreme is an Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that can upscale compressed digital music files in real time. It restores high-range sound lost in compression by using advanced algorithms to recognise musical genres, instruments and individual elements of each song.
Pick-ups Only What You Want
The WH-1000XM5 use Precise Voice Pickup Technology, which includes four beamforming microphones and an AI noise reduction algorithm, to isolate and enhance your voice. A new wind noise reduction structure also helps to reduce wind noise during calls. This technology ensures that you can hear and be heard clearly in any environment.
Be Heard Clearly
Thanks to an improved signal-to-noise ratio, the four microphones are calibrated to pick up your voice with high accuracy, even in noisy surroundings. The noise reduction algorithm, which was developed using AI machine learning and over 500 million voice samples, is effective in a wide range of settings and will suppress ambient noise to provide clear voice output during calls.
Adapts to Your Surrounding
Adaptive Sound Control modifies ambient sound settings according to your location and activities. It also analyses your routine and identifies your frequently visited places to adjust the music accordingly.
Smart Sensors That Understand You
Speak-to-Chat instantly pauses your music when you start talking so that you can communicate hands-free while wearing your headphones. It utilises the Sony WH-1000XM5's built-in microphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognise and react to your voice and resumes the music automatically once you're done talking. When you remove the headphones, they automatically stop playing music, thanks to a capacitive sensor that recognises when they're not being worn.
2-Device Pairing, 30-Hour Battery Life
Connect to two devices at the same time with the Sony WH-1000XM5. It recognises which device is ringing when you receive a call and connects automatically. You can also switch between the two devices by pressing a button. With a battery life of 30 hours, it's perfect for long journeys. If you need a quick charge, you can charge it for three hours in only three minutes with a USB-PD-compliant AC adapter.
Blazing Fast Pairing
Fast Pair allows you to easily connect your WH-1000XM5 to your Android devices while Swift Pair lets you connect them to your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer with just one tap. You can also quickly locate your headphones by calling them or checking their last known location on your smartphone.
Built to Be Snug
The WH-1000XM5 are designed with a lightweight and comfortable soft-fit leather material that blocks out external noise while fitting snugly around the head to reduce ear pressure. The headphones' stepless slider, seamless swivel, and headband offer a pleasant noiseless experience while wearing them.
Protects Your Hearing
You can determine if you're listening to music at safe sound pressure levels based on data recorded by the Sony WH-1000XM5, in accordance with the World Health Organization's recommendations with the Sony | Headphones Connect App.
Seamless Controls
Customise your headphones with Quick Access to quickly resume your Spotify music with just a few taps without touching your phone. Voice assistants like ‘Google’ or ‘Alexa’ offer hands-free assistance with tasks such as listening to music, receiving notifications, and setting reminders. The WH-1000XM5 also features intuitive touch controls to switch between noise cancelling and ambient sound, play or pause music, skip tracks and adjust the volume.

It's warm/bassy sound is what I like the most. The emphasis is more on sub bass but also not in ur face. Mid bass also sounds clean without being shouty. Treble is really smooth with slight sparkle which is great if ur treble sensitive. I can listen to these for hours at work without being distracted or fatigue. Good fit and build quality. Any genre sounds good on this iem.

As redditors said its good. But might be boring at initial iem try. App has lot of EQs to tweak and play

I would like to thank Purecast & Pritam ...I was not sure if this was required. I however noticed it's not a normal dac it's a DAC Amp so it also amplifies sound...it comes in a cool packaging with cover and I am thankful that Audiocular was thoughtful to add a typeC to Type A convertor as I am using this mainly in my Dell laptop. Thanks Audiocular.

Bought the Moondrop Dawn Pro Balanced DAC/AMP recently. Build feels premium with a sleek metal body, swappable 3.5 mm & 4.4 mm outputs, plus handy volume buttons. Noticed extra loudness and a subtle but clear improvement in my IEMs. For the price, totally worth it! 🎶

I used lots of earphones and earbuds, neckband but this IEMs sound is different unbelievable I loved it Thanks 👍🏻

Excellent product. Super premium and sounds balanced.

THE HEADPHONE IS ONE OF THE BEST WHICH DOESN'T NEED ANY TEST BECAUSE ITS THE BEST, THE BLUETOOTH RANGE IS SO LONG THAT ONCE I FORGOT MY MOBILE WHILE GOING TO MARS , NORMAL HEADPHONE WILL DISCONNECT IN THAT RANGE ABOUT 33.9 MILES BUT THEN ALSO THE HEADPHONE DOESN'T DISCONNECTED AND THE MUSIC WAS STILL PLAYING NOW I WAS COMING BACK FROM MARS AND TYPED THE REVEIW WITH MY BARE HANDS 😀

Although termed as Basshead, it's clean and crisp. Bass knows when to punch and when to calm. Upgrading from Juzear Defiant which is itself a great allrounder to its price. Thoroughly enjoying the Martilo. Finally great service by TAS. Looking forward for more.

good build qualityand High quality audio output

Absolutely a beast, had to wait since it was out of stock. This is the best under 3K and probably the best with Mic under 5k.

If you are a beginner audiophile and wanted to invest friendly budget IEM then EarAcoustic STA-Hi End Series IEM is a way to go. The sound is awesome and you can hear every node it contains.

It is the best and clean sounding IEM, perfect for the Beginner.
I love the fact that I can change the nozzle and its a little different sounding, so its two in one.
The cable quality is out of the world no external sound when I touch it.
I can hear so many details clearly. I say please go for this, it is perfect first IEM and the Perfect Upgrade if you had IEM under 2k before

It provides Awesome sound quality go and buy it m

🎧 KZ Castor Pro IEM – Review
🔊 Sound Quality
The KZ Castor Pro delivers clear and detailed sound with excellent separation across lows, mids, and highs. The decent thumping bass is tight and controlled, giving energy to tracks without overwhelming the vocals or instruments. Its super-balanced tuning ensures a natural, enjoyable listening experience suitable for all genres.
🎚 Unique DIP Switch Equalizer
What sets the Castor Pro apart is its DIP switch physical equalizer. With up to 16 different tuning options, it allows listeners to adjust the sound profile on the go—boosting bass, enhancing treble, or keeping it neutral. This feature gives it a level of flexibility rarely seen in IEMs at this price point.
🔇 Noise Isolation
Although it lacks active noise cancellation, the design offers an excellent passive seal. The snug fit ensures that outside noise is effectively blocked, making the listening experience immersive and ensuring ANC doesn’t feel like a missing feature.
🎼 Hi-Res & DAC Performance
For those using Hi-Res lossless audio, pairing the Castor Pro with a DAC is highly recommended. The extra power and clarity from a DAC enhance the already impressive soundstage, detail retrieval, and overall dynamics, making the listening experience truly premium.
💰 Value for Money
At its smart price, the KZ Castor Pro punches well above its weight. It combines detailed sound, punchy bass, balanced tuning, and innovative features—making it a strong choice for both audiophiles on a budget and everyday music lovers.

Have been using these buds for like an year now, they gave me a great time all that while, only recently the cable started getting green and there was an issue with audio drop on even a slight movement (like every earphone ever), but still a great investment for an year.
