Hi IvanF,

It is truly wonderful to know that you are enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation and sound quality of the WH-1000XM5.

We’ve equipped these headphones with two processors and eight microphones to specifically target and cancel out high-frequency sounds, ensuring your listening environment stays peaceful no matter where you are. Beyond the silence, the specially designed 30mm driver unit works to provide that "nice," natural sound quality you mentioned—delivering crisp highs and deep, undistorted bass for a truly premium experience.

Thank you for choosing Sony!
