    I have the first version of these and now the 5 version. The first version was very good, version 5 blows the earlier ones away. Very happy with my purchase.

      Hi KimAS, Great! We're glad that you are enjoying your new 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. 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

      Hi SamuelP, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise canceling feature of your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US

    I was happy with these headphones until they just suddenly stopped connecting to my desktop which is my main source for my streaming services. They will connect to my smartphone but not to my 2 year old TV or my PC. I still have my XM3's which I went back to and they connected immediately. And may I add sounded better. So having bought them back in May I am well past the return window so I am stuck with a $400 paperweight which bevause of pther promotions I was paying off I haven'£t even started paying for uet. Obviously I am not a happy camper.
