      Hi Cad72, Great choice! 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US

      Hi JoelB, thanks for sharing your wonderful experience that truly highlights the Sony - WH1000XM5 headphones' capabilities! The industry-leading noise cancellation is a crucial feature powered by two processors and eight microphones, working together to significantly reduce ambient sound across all frequencies. This remarkable noise suppression creates an unparalleled quiet environment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the magnificent sound quality of the XM5s. Thank you so much for choosing Sony and enjoy the music! Regards, -Dominick Sony_US

    Great headphones. Bought them because our fire alarm kept going off at work due to a malfunction. We had to keep working while it was going off. These helped soooooo much with drowning out the sound. Only downside is it would randomly disconnect while using them from my phone.

    Best purchase I’ve made for myself so far. I actually didn’t think I could love headphones so much. I did a bunch of research on different types of headphones, sound quality, durability, etc. and these consistently popped up. They still are as loud as the day I bought them and I constantly listen to music at full volume!

      Hi Zoewgs,
      Thank you for your time writing this review! While we are glad you like your WH1000XM5 noise canceling headphones, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues when connected to your iPhone. Let's work together and resolved the issue.

      Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
      Ensure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.
      Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection”.
      Remove any obstacles between the iPhone and headphones.
      If you are enjoying music with your smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting your smartphone. If you are enjoying music with your computer, close unnecessary applications or windows and restart the computer.
      Connect the headset and the Bluetooth device once again.
      Turning off [Service Link] on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app may reduce the amount of audio dropout.
      Reset the headset.
      Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
      For reference:
