Overall Great Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are easy to setup, comfortable, and have a long battery life. The noise cancelling could be better. Not sure if its the software or the actual headphones, but in some environments the noise canceling doesnt even seem to turn on.

Posted .Hi Ralph, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5. If the effect of the noise canceling of your WH-1000XM5 is not sufficient, please follow the steps on our Help Guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000534745.html
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.

Best Headphones I've Owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.

Posted .Hello MadelineB,
Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear they are still working amazingly even after a year and that you appreciate the amazing adaptability to surroundings.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts about the noise canceling. To help maximize performance, we suggest checking the Sony | Sound Connect app.
In the app, you can confirm that Adaptive Sound Control is OFF (as it can sometimes switch to Ambient Sound mode) and that the Ambient Sound Control setting is clearly set to Noise Cancelling in the "Sound" tab.
We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!
Best regards,
Estefany
