Sony has unveiled its next pair of flagship noise cancelling earbuds, the WF-1000XM5

Sony has today lifted the lid on its next pair of iconic noise cancelling earbuds, the WF-1000XM5.

Set to arrive in Australia from August, the XM5 earbuds promise to deliver even superior performance over the already ridiculously well-regarded XM4 earbuds.

At the core of the announcement for the WF-1000XM5 are improvements to the noise cancellation, even better audio quality, and the best call quality Sony has ever delivered.

The earbuds are smaller and lighter than the XM4 earbuds, yet still promise up to eight hours of battery life and 60 minutes of playback off a three minute charge.
