      Hi WilmanRod98, Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound and noise canceling function. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    Amazing sound quality and noise cancellation! Bought them because I fly a lot for work and they’re great for blocking out all the noise in airports and on the plane. Highly recommend, if you have extra money laying around.

    Headphones are easy to setup, comfortable, and have a long battery life. The noise cancelling could be better. Not sure if its the software or the actual headphones, but in some environments the noise canceling doesnt even seem to turn on.

    Excellent headphones even after 2 years of launch - This is one of it kind where it retains the legacy and leadership even after so many competitors entered the Noise cancellation headphones market, this shows the competitive edge Sony has in this domain. I really love the way this headset sounds and voice/ mic quality is very good. That's the primary focus for my usage! I'm extremely happy with the purchase :)
