Sony WF-1000XM5 WF1000XM5

With the WF-1000XM5 finally revealed, I wanted to create an in-depth analysis of the design, features and do a comparison with the WF-1000XM4. This is not a review, but I hope to have one in the future once I buy it. But I will need to save up before that happens. So let us dive in.

The WF-C700N multipoint firmware is finally here, Sony said Summer 2023, and it looks like they got out pretty quickly. I will be updating my headset later today once it is charged up to test it out. Here are the changes:

Sony WF-1000XM5 Firmware Update, version 2.0.1

Sony WF-1000XM5 Firmware Update, version 2.0.1

A firmware update has been released for the newly released WF-1000XM5. I am not sure any user has one yet, but they have shipped I believe. So what does the update bring?

Well here are the changes:

  • Adds support for the beta version of LE Audio, which is optimal for games, etc
  • Improves the hands-free calling quality

You will need a phone that has LE Audio support like the 1 IV and 5 IV. If you are planning to update, make sure both the phone and headset are fully charged.

It will be interesting whether Sony will be updating the NC algorithm or other features in the future. Oddly enough, the WF-1000XM5 now has the same firmware version as the WF-1000XM4, coincidence?

First of, welcome back everyone, this past week has been quite stressful. I would like to thank everyone for the positive support, much appreciated. Now turning to the WF-1000XM5 and more precisely, where is it? We are entering the second week of July and so far nothing has been announced. We have had a few leaks in June, and of course the first leak from March, but otherwise nothing else has materialized.
