“The Sony WH-1000XM-5 headphones have a crazy name, but it’s also probably the worst thing you can say about them,” says Otakar Schön, editor of Hospodářské noviny, in a video review. | Video: Otakar Schön, Blahoslav Baťa
“The design of the headphones is more elegant, but they can no longer be folded into a more compact shape. However, Sony was able to offer a solid level of wearing comfort,” says the reviewer.
The biggest surprise was the sound. “By default, Sony has chosen to forget the excited rumble and offer a more balanced sound. It is absolutely unrivaled by noise cancellation, it manages to mute even deep tones and reduces the noise level by an incredible 50 decibels from 5000 Hz. The surrounding world almost disappears.” praises Schön headphones.
According to him, the inconvenience is the price. Ten thousand crowns is a lot, but it corresponds to the quality of headphones. “Over time, the price will fall, and in addition, the previous generation can still be bought for about six thousand crowns – and this is a bargain purchase,” adds a reviewer at Hospodářské noviny.
