Great Pair Of Headphones Better Than Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. By far the best in the market. Vocals are crisp and clear. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I would have liked to have the option to manage my bass a bit which this set doesn't have a great deal of, but I truly respect the audio balance of these headphones.

Great headset but…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio on this headphone is very impressive. My only issue is the build quality, specifically the ear cushions. They feel very cheap and I can already tell by just few uses that they’ll deteriorate really fast. If you’re an avid headphone user I wouldn’t recommend this because of the cushions. You’ll think that for something this expensive Sony will take their time to ensure that the build quality is fantastic .

Posted .Hi Ilaw, Thank you for choosing Sony. 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. We appreciate your feedback and input on our headphones as this will help improve our product.
Regards,
Carl
