When it comes to thebest active noise-cancelling headphonesthere’s one product that sits proudly atop T3’s guide: theSony WH-1000XM5. I’ve often thoughtthese or the Bose 700are the best in the business.
Renowned as these superbSonyover-ears are, however, there’s a new and updated WH-1000XM5 model for 2023 that suddenly makes these headphones look even more appealing (quite literally).
I know, right, you didn’t think that would be a possibility prior to the much-rumoured WH-1000XM6 model being announced (although I now suspect these may not be revealed until 2024).
But here it is, clear as day in the picture up top of page: the Sony WH-1000XM5 finished in Midnight Blue. This new colourway adds to the existing Black or Platinum Silver options and brings a great new option to the range. I actually think they’re the best-looking of the lot.
In ouroriginal WH-1000XM5 review, we pondered the question as to whether these are ‘the perfect headphones’. Aside from not being able to fold like their WH-1000XM4 predecessors, and costing a fair penny, the general consensus was otherwise a resounding ‘yes’.

However, while the new WH-1000XM5 suddenly look more appealing in a visual sense, they’re sticking to the original asking price. Sony tells me these Midnight Blue over-ears will retail for £349 in the UK.
Now, considering the other two colourways are priced at less, as you can see in the shopping widget below, that’s something to consider. Yes, the golden Sony logo looks even more fetching against that blue finish in my opinion, but seeing as shopping around for a black pair would save me close to £40, the latest Sony cans might not be buy-on-sight until their price gets more in line with the other models in the range.

That said, if you want the best ANC headphones in the best-looking finish, a few extra quid might well be worth it. The Midnight Blue version of Sony’s WH-1000XM5 go on sale this month, too, so keep your eyes peeled for the special new addition to the family.
