    [Employee of bestbuy] The sound quality out of these headphones, especially when wired, is amazing however the top band is a bit too thin to be comfortable in my opinion. it felt like it dug into the top of my head too much

      Awesome! We're glad that you are impressed with the noise canceling feature of the headphones, Leetom. 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! -Craig Sony_US

      Hi CodyG, Awesome! We are 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

      Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, JosephMChrist.

      We are very sorry to hear that your WH-1000XM5 headphones haven't lived up to the durability you expected. While we are glad you enjoy the performance, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with multiple repairs within the first year. We aim to build products that last, and your experience is definitely not the standard we strive for.

      We appreciate you sticking with us through those repairs, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback regarding build quality with our product team.

      Best regards,

      Gus,
