Hi JTBirdface, We're glad that you're enjoying your new headphones. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Hi MiguelD, While we're glad that you love the headphones, we regret that you had it returned.  Sony values the opinions of customers and is always striving to provide the best experience possible. 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

Hi AlexanderM

We're genuinely sorry to hear that the WH-1000XM5 headphones didn't provide the comfort you need, particularly with the padding on the headband and earcups. We understand how important a comfortable fit is for an enjoyable listening experience.

If comfort is a key concern, you might be interested in exploring our newest model, the WH-1000XM6, which features a redesigned headband and earcups that many users find offers enhanced comfort for longer listening sessions.
Thanks for considering Sony Products.
