      Hi Tyler, We're glad that they fit well and comfortable on the ears. 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. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    I can't decide if I like these, and considering their cost, I guess that means they weren't worth it (to me). The audio is OK and the nose cancelling is good, except the software that gets installed with them on my phone causes the nose cancelling to turn on and off seemingly randomly. It's distracting and runs the audio quality and experience. If I don't move my head, they sound great. After wearing them for about 20 minutes they start to hurt my ears... not great. They come with a nice case, thats cool. The ear cuffs are touch control sensitive which sounds like a cool feature, but adjusting their position on your head will cause your audio playback to do weird things... not cool. Meh

    The noise cancelling on these is INSANE, put them on in a noisy room and play some music, and all you can hear is your music. Scared to walk in piblic with how good these are in fear of getting robbed without hearing them lol.

    i love these headphones, they look like pebbles & the noise cancelling on these bad boys make you feel like you’re exiting a pressure chamber when you take them off. 10/10. the only thing im not a fan of is that they collect sweat when you work out in them. and maybe thats my fault, and i shouldnt be working out in them. other than that, seriously so perfect.

    I purchased the headset on sale and these sound great. Swipe controls on the right are helpful and take some getting used to. Be careful adjusting your headsets, as you may inadvertently activate a swipe on the right side.
