Slightly bigger than the 4’s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great and the noise canceling is the best you can get of any over ear headphones right now, but they are too big for my head. I had the 4’s and they fit a little big too, but the 5’s are a good bit bigger. Because they don’t clamp tight enough and the head band is too long, they don’t seal well and pull away from my ears when I turn my head side to side. This effects the noise canceling because it won’t seal around my ears consistently. And because it doesn’t have enough clamping force, the headband puts more pressure on the top of my head and hurts after awhile. I love Sonys, but I prefer the fit of the 4’s. I don’t have an abnormally small head either!

We love hearing that your son is enjoying his new WH-1000XM5 headphones so much—though we might recommend taking them off just long enough to charge! It’s a huge compliment to our design team that he finds them comfortable enough to wear all day (and almost all night).
Thank you for choosing Sony for such a great gift! :D

Meh, wish I hadn't bought them
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good. The noise cancelling is not good. I had the WH-1000xm3 for several years and "upgraded" to these. The noise cancelling doesn't work in many situations. The settings also revert often when switching between devices. The design is also less portable and the case is larger. I am really disappointed in this headset. I would rather use my old headset with the battery that doesn't last - at least it works to block out noise.
