Posted .Thanks for the 5-star rating, Noah! 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. Good news with headphones are the sliders which are fully adjustable so you can adjust the length of the headband and the lightweight design that provide all day comfort. Thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig

Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,

Hands down one of my favorite headphones.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these things I've had these for quite a while and they still look and work like brand new. My fiance absolutely hates them because of the noise canceling when I have them on and she has to get up and tap me on the shoulders to get my attention.

Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These haedphones are the truth! They have amazing sound quality its like being in the middle of the movie, vidoe, or song you are playing. When playing a movie you can hear the ancillary background conversations on the movie. I kept thinking someone was in the room with me! The noise canceling feature is top notch, i recently took a 4 hour flight abd had a screaming baby about 4 rows behind me. I poped on my headphones, started a movie and voila no more screaming baby!! Worth every penny for me.
