    The audio quality is superb. You think your airpod pros are nice? Put these on and you will want throw your cute earbuds in the food disposal. Whats most impressive about these headphones is the voice isolation feature when on phone calls. You can be in a car with loud music on the phone, and the person on the other end of the line will only hear your voice. The technology is so good it makes everyone else look bad. It doesnt make sense

      Thank you for your review, buyer11345!

      We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the amazing sound quality of your WH-1000XM5! We put a lot of focus into the audio engineering of our flagship headphones, so it’s great to know that part is hitting the mark for you.

      We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the comfort. While we designed these with a lightweight "Soft Fit Leather" headband to be very comfortable for most, we understand that fit can be a very personal experience. We suggest adjusting the sliders slightly to find the best weight distribution for your head shape, as this can often help during longer listening sessions.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Best regards,

    I purchased these for work, I make phone calls constantly throughout the day. I compared them with Bose 700s that my co-worker tried swearing up & down was better. Of the 2, yes the Bose are better at music wuality honestly, but for phone calls… Sony all day! Perfect sound quality in and going out, and i even made a call once while vacuuming and the person on the phone with me could not hear my very loud vacuum at all!

    Excellent noise cancellation and better mic vs XM4

    The noise cancelling is excellent. I use these to sleep at night because of extremely noisey neighbors upstairs. I've regained my sanity! Also, the mic when speaking to someone over the phone really isolates your voice and they do not hear background noise. While walking outside, I had a conversation and the person on the other end could not hear the dogs barking (loudly) in the background. Definite improvement from the XM4 headphones. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is that they do not fold.
