    Overall the headphone is very good. First is its weight is very light. You will not feel you are wearing it. The bad things are its technology feature. It says it will detect when you take them off and auto stop music. This is a hit or miss. When it does not work, it is very frustrating. I believe Sony is getting that perfect headphone. However, this is not it.

      Hi Victor, Awesome! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5! 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 noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. -Carl Sony_US

    They’re fine headphones but you can get the same performance for half the price. Nothing amazing, the features are more gimmicky than useful. For the app to work properly for active noise cancelling it has to track you which is fine but uses data. None of the Spatial Audio works if you don’t spend the money on the specific apps that support it which cost money. Overall if you’re in the Apple eco-system, get the Air Pod Maxs. They sound better and the noise cancelling is way better. If you want the Sonys get the MX4’s the bass is better.
