      Hi Skippa210,
      It's great to hear that you are very much pleased with the noise canceling capability and audio quality of our WH1000XM5. The WH1000XM5 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 WH1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. - Marco Sony_US

    Went to the store looking for new headphones, and was in between these and the AirPods max. These won me over because the sound and quietness is far greater than the max. Also this is one of the best purchases ever, totally worth the money.

    The sound and noise cancellation are second to none in my opinion. If I must pick a fault it would be coming from the x4's The fifth is not as comfortable. Don't get me wrong it is still very comfortable but but the X4 is worth second to none in terms of comfort.
