      Hi ACAI,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and overall features of your headphones. Because the headset achieves a tight seal over the ears, you may start to feel hot with your ears always covered. They can also get a bit warm in hot environments. For optimum fit and comfort, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. 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.
