      Hi SurfaceBook3, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new 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

    Great headphones. Bought them because our fire alarm kept going off at work due to a malfunction. We had to keep working while it was going off. These helped soooooo much with drowning out the sound. Only downside is it would randomly disconnect while using them from my phone.

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.

      Hi S54CM3! Thanks for the review!
      It is most rewarding to hear that your WH-1000XM5 is working out so well for both your meetings and your personal time.

      These headphones include Multipoint Connection, allowing you to stay connected to your laptop and phone simultaneously, and an Auto NC Optimizer that automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your surroundings.

      Thanks for selecting Sony headphones!
      Best regards,
