Moving to sound and noise handling aspects, you should know the 1000XM5 boasts industry-leading noise cancelling thanks to two proprietary processors (V2 and QN2e), 3 mics (two of which are for feedback), and noise-isolating ear tips.
The noise cancelling algorithms play a key role in improving audio quality for both parties on a call. There are Bone conduction sensors also in the mix that triangulates your sound from the ambient noise.
Similarly, the earbuds also brag to be tuned for the music, with Dynamic Driver X, 24-bit audio processing, and DSEE Extreme upscaling tech, and LDAC high-res audio codec support.
Even in games like Niantic’s Ingress, the XM5 can offer a spatial sound experience because of the built-in sensors.
