Posted .Hello CesarG,
Thank you for your feedback and we're glad that you are pleased with the sound quality and awesome connectivity of our WH1000XM5. If you wearing the headphone for a long period of time makes you feel uncomfortable, you may need to limit your headphone usage to avoid this. Thank you for choosing Sony! - Marco
This aint it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No more NFC, cups don't flip down while wearing them around your neck, and not an insane difference in sound quality compared to the previous versions. Plus they're $50 more? Nope. Bought these hoping they would replace my M3's, but they just aren't it. If NFC doesn't matter to you (which I can assume it doesn't for most) and you don't already have the M3's or M4's, these will probably be a good buy. Still, you'd probably be better off getting the M4's, the M5's are only okay.
