      Hi Yobalon, You've made an excellent choice! Thank you for upgrading to your new WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're very happy to hear you're enjoying all the improvements we made on these headphones. Glad to know you like the excellent noise cancellation and lightweight design of the headphones. 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. 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 elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you so much for the amazing review and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
