    The comfort is second to none, and so is the ANC and Transparency, the audio is great as well. The black ones do collect grease from your skin and hair pretty easily, go with the silver ones if you have a choice.

      Hi Masonb,

      We are immensely pleased to hear that these are the best headphones you’ve ever owned and that you are enjoying the "awesome" noise canceling! To deliver that industry-leading silence, this model utilizes two processors controlling eight microphones—the Integrated Processor V1 and the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1—which work together to dramatically reduce high and mid-frequency noise. Furthermore, the sound quality is elevated by the specially designed 30mm driver unit, featuring a light and rigid dome for more natural sound, while DSEE Extreme™ upscales your compressed digital music files in real time for a truly premium listening experience.


      Thank you for making Sony part of your listening experience.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Awesome sound quality! My husband's an over the road truck driver and he swears by these things. Doesn't feel heavy on his head after several hours of wear and doesn't put a lot of pressure on his head, as compared to the Apple headphones.

      Hi DrinaLaChica, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM5! 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. -Carl Sony_US
