Why you need to purchase this?
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones 9/10 It has an awesome feature to change the way you want to listen to music and don't forget canceling noise, but why not a 10? She was 10 months old then, but unfortunately the head support needs a bit more support, it could fall off if you like to run a lot.I think it’s a very well headphones.

Posted .Hi Mari, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Glad to hear you like the excellent noise cancellation of your new Sony XM5. To ensure a comfortable and stable fit, try to adjust the left and right slider of the headphones. And the step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear. Hope this helps!
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

Excellent noise cancelling and sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No complaints. Work great. On an airplane I hear no engine humming. At work I hear no air conditioning , no computers humming, no people speaking on conference calls. My daughter, a professional musician, wears them everywhere for the quality of the sound.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using them for about a week now and they are great but the noise canceling is not as good as I thought it would be

Posted .Thank you for the feedback, MatthewWolowitz.
We're glad you like the headphones but sorry the noise canceling isn't hitting the mark. We recommend disabling "Adaptive Sound Control" in the Sony Sound Connect app to keep the ANC at its maximum level. Ensuring a snug fit around the ears and checking for the latest firmware update can also significantly improve performance.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
