Sony Korea has officially launched the new Midnight Blue color option for its 1000X series headphones, the WH-1000XM5, on April 10th.
The WH-1000XM5 Midnight Blue features a Sony Blue tone color that emphasizes a trendy aesthetic. With this addition, Sony now offers a range of three colors, including Platinum Silver and Black.
The headphones are designed with a soft-fit leather material ear pad and a thinner and lighter headband. The product reduces pressure on the user’s ears and head, allowing for smooth adjustment of the headphone length with its noise-cancelling slider.
The WH-1000XM5 boasts improved noise-cancelling performance compared to its predecessor, thanks to its eight microphones and automatic noise-cancelling optimization function. It also provides an immersive sound experience with its new driver and high-performance components.
The product features an eco-friendly packaging design, made with sustainable materials and a low-toxicity design principle. Additionally, Sony used recycled plastic from automobile parts in the product to reduce its environmental impact.
According to Sony, headphone sales for Sony Korea have grown by 167% compared to the previous year since the release of the WH-1000XM5. The company expects to reach a wider customer base with the addition of the new color lineup.
