Hi Ibanez, We are glad that you like the quality of your new Sony headphones. The XM5 headphones are definitely a worthy upgrade. Sorry to hear about your concern. Despite that, we are happy that you still like your XM5. With our WH-1000XM5 headphones, you can enjoy magnificent sound quality which is engineered to perfection and have a battery life that can last up to 30 hours with quick charging (3 min charge for 3 hours of playback). With 8 total microphones, these headphones are our biggest step forward in noise canceling technology. For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat and Quick Attention mode stop your music and let in ambient sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! Vincent

Hi Shaggy, while we're glad that you like the sound quality of the XM5, we regret that the noise canceling function, comfort, and design did not meet your expectation. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Allow us to help and turn this into a better experience.

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. You can also slide the left and right slider to adjust the length of the headband for comfortable listening experience.
