      Hi Taya,

      You made the right choice! We're thrilled that your nephew is enjoying the sound quality of the headphones. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Looks wise they’re a little bigger than I expected but the quality is high. The plastic doesn’t feel cheap and the sound quality is very high.

    Great sound. Not good for heavy exercise or on a hot day because headphones are not waterproof. They would do well during winter and fall when temperatures are lower.
