The Sony WH-1000XM5 have Bluetooth 5.2 and are powered by both Sony's QN1 and V1 chips, giving this headphone dual processors compared to the single processor of the XM4. They also come with a new carrying case that looks to be about 20% bigger than that of the previous model. That means these fold flat but they don't fold up. Gone is the dual-hinge of previous models and now there's just a single hinge with a swivel and rocker.
The first thing you'll notice is that XM5 - I refer to it as the Mark 5 - has a new design with big changes to the design of the headband. Other than the higher $400 (£380, AU$650) price tag, I think those changes are good - and the WH-1000XM5 has one key upgrade that's legitimately awesome - but some may disagree. Over the years, Sony has made some tweaks to the design, but nothing as dramatic as what it's done with the WH-1000XM5.
Such is the case for Sony's WH-1000XM5, the fifth generation of the 1000X series headphones, which were first released in 2016 as the MDR-1000X Wireless and have become increasingly popular as they've improved with each generation. When you have a product that a lot of people love, change can be risky.
