Sounds great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First over the ear headphones in awhile. My boyfriend has the earbuds, so figured I’d try the over ear ones. I bought this specifically for flights. I have sensitive ears & so pressure changes are really painful. I have to wear something to help adjust the pressure, so it also blocks alot of noise. These headphones have enough space so it's not smushing my ears. The sound cancellation is amazing. There is an equalizer app & such that you have to separately download. I debated between these, airpods max, & beats for awhile & I'm so glad I went with these.

Posted .Hi Sunny, We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! 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. If you feel like the sound quality is lacking, you may use our Sony Headphones Connect app to adjust the sound quality to your liking!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise canceling and fit on ears. If you need to workout, take the XM4s instead as they are better in that way.

Quiet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas gift for my son and he loves them Only challenge on my end is if you don't switch on the outside sound, the headphones are truly quiet and you won't hear any outside noise, including your parents yelling for you to come down to dinner......

Sickest pair of headphones I've ever owned.
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be quite honest these have just been rolling around the internet as probably the best set of headphones the average person can feasibly buy recently. I had been using beats solo pro 3's for about 4 years when I replaced them for these. I can't recommend these enough.
