Hi ALS7, thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you're enjoying your new headphones. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Hi ElishaT, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your headphones. Having read your review regarding the fit and waterproof performance, these headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities as the unit is not sweat resistant. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up or there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity from sweat, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. We recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Hi EliC, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the noise cancelling on the WH‑1000XM5s, but we're really sorry to hear the sound and build did not fulfill your expectations. The headphones definitely shouldn’t be breaking like that, so we recommend reaching out to our service center, Encompass, for a low-cost repair: https://sony.encompass.com/parts-accessories/Sony-Repair-Services

For the sound, you might also want to try adjusting some of the EQ settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app, it can make a big difference depending on what you’re listening to.

Thanks for considering Sony and for bringing this to our attention.
Sincerely,
Estefany
