Top quality headphones but tiny inconveniences
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For someone who has never owned premium headphones these are amazing, the noise cancelling is great and the sound is definitely better than the $20 ones. The 2 things that bothered me was when the noise cancelling was on it would feel weird when not playing anything. The second thing was the charging cable being way too small. But overall these headphones are really good.

Posted .Hi hipo23, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5! If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, please check 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.
Regards,
Carl

Superb
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb. Very light. I was debating on APM but these are far better from fashion and tech perspective. And I am an all-Apple person. Get these or Momentum 4 or the Bose.
