      Hi Chris,

      We appreciate the 5-star rating and we're glad to hear that you love the touch controls and noise canceling of the headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Do not purchase. These are not built to last

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These broke while on my head. The part that connects the band to the earpiece is so flimsy it just snapped while I was taking it off. Sony has a one year warranty but was unwilling to help and bestbuy didn't want to help either. Huge waste of money these are not built to last I haven't even had them for a year. I still have the box to prove it(see photos) awful product

      HiMidnightmayham, We're glad that you like the audio quality. While the WH1000XM5 units don’t have an IPX rating, you can still use this in the gym. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.
