    I got this on sale. Unlike some other reviews, the hinge is sturdy. I really like the battery life over anything.

    Super comfortable, super sturdy, and amazingly warm sound signature for the price. These are by far the best wireless ANC headphones I've used, blowing the AirPods Max and Bose QC45s out of the water.

      Hi Jeffrey, Thank you for the positive review! We're glad you like the comfortable fit, super sturdy built quality, warm sound signature, and overall performance of your Sony XM5. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    I bought it as a gift for my nephew. I like the quality of the materials, it is proof of damage if you bend it. Nice sound. Far better than Sony - WH1000XM4. The weight is very light.

      Hi Tpatt, We are glad to hear that you are happy with the noise canceling and battery life 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

    Comfort and sound are outstanding, truly amazing. I returned them because the arms slid too easily and I had to adjust them each time I put them on. Really disappointing for the price, but if you don’t mind this then definitely buy them.

    Great sound and Noise cancellation, can’t really ask for anything more. Only drawback is if you’re an IPhone User the connectivity isn’t as flawless as with other Apple devices, but that’s just Apple taking advantage of the lax US consumer protection laws

    Compared to BOSE 700, Sony GH-4 Comfortable for hours of wearing, sound quality is good but too flat, noice cancelling is great. Built quality is good as well. A few times had an issues with connection and n/c, was resolved by turning off/on the headphones.
