      Hi ACAI,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and overall features of your headphones. Because the headset achieves a tight seal over the ears, you may start to feel hot with your ears always covered. They can also get a bit warm in hot environments. For optimum fit and comfort, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear.

    I traded in my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and upgraded to the XM5. My only priority was better noise cancelation on flights, and the XM5 delivers. Sound quality is excellent. I am taking away 2 stars because the carry case is larger than the XM3 and there is no 2-pring airplane adapter included with the headphones. Plus, the carry case is missing the net sleeve outside which the XM3 case had. This elastic sleeve was perfect to store my phone on flights, and Sony just overlooked it, maybe to save some pennies.

      Hi IcyColaBottleOnHotDay, We are sorry to hear about your concern with your new Sony wireless noise canceling headphones. This is not the customer experience we want you to have. Our XM3 and XM5 are different models from different years and have different features, capabilities and accessories. There are feature from XM5 and do not have the XM3. XM5 headphones are definitely have the latest features and functions, although, certain features are not included anymore compared to their previous model. Despite your concern, we are happy that you still like your XM5 wireless headphones. Thank you for choosing Sony! Vincent Sony_US
