    Great sound and very comfortable over the ears. The speakers sit over my entire ear which makes them more comfortable at the same time cancels sound well.

      Hi SoTexSmoker We're glad that you like the comfort and sound quality. 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. Erin Sony_US

      Hi Yumi,

      It is truly wonderful to know how much you enjoyed the WH-1000XM5, though we are incredibly sorry to hear about what happened to your pair! It speaks volumes about their quality that they are so highly coveted.

      From the industry-leading noise cancellation that silences the world around you to the Integrated Processor V1, these headphones are designed to deliver an unmatched listening experience. We hope you're able to get back to enjoying that crisp, high-resolution audio and those crystal-clear hands-free calls very soon.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to be your go-to for premium sound.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
