    Finally after spending thousands of dollars on Bose sound canceling headphones over the years, a product that actually does work. You can’t go wrong with these.

      Hi MightyJoe,

      That is very nice to hear! We're happy to hear you like 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!

      Regards,

    Great headphones. Great sound quality. Lightweight quality material. When you wear a hat it messes with the connection and ear sensors! Try not to distort ear sensors wearing hats. Otherwise great purchase!

    This is the best headphones I've ever had despite big price tag it delivers. I was thinking buying a sound bar but now I don't need one at all. Highly recommend this product. Battery life is amazing. Lasted me all long flight to Europe with 4 hours overlay.

    Well the app allows a seemless transition between the different listening modes. They are practicla and fairly simple to use. However I love that they are light weight and you can barely feel that they are on your head.
