      Hi RomanC,
      Wow! Nice to hear you love the noise canceling and Ambient sound mode of your new headphones. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. 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! - Kris Sony_US

    I'm still learning it, but it is amazing quality with the latest technology. I love it. The only thing is at this high price point, you can't get them sweaty. That is the only thing I dislike.

      Hi Solji, We're glad that you are enjoying your new headphones. While the WH1000XM5 units don’t have an IPX rating, a simple walk in the park shouldn’t be of concern. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.
