    Love them! Great sound blocking headphones. Got the grey ones, they did not get dirty. The case is made of recycled materials that can easily get dirty but it is easy to clean. Overall great product. Use them everyday at work and on the train on the way to uni.

      Hi Kahlee, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Sony WH1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the over-ear design and find the headphones amazing overall. We understand that comfort is crucial, and we're sorry to hear that the top of your head starts to hurt after prolonged use. We recommend adjusting the slider (left and right) to find the most suitable fit for you and to use it for longer periods. The step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Not as good as the previous gen or even the ones before that which I have used before. I purchased these I immediately regretted it. Made me miss the wh-1000xm3. For me the only good I can say is how light they feel. The worst part of my experience with these was listening gets paused so frequently.
