Posted .Hi louis122757,
We are thrilled to hear that you are very happy with your silver WH-1000XM5 headphones and that they are exceeding your expectations! It is wonderful to know you're discovering all the "hidden" smarts we packed into them, like Speak-to-Chat, which automatically pauses your music when you start talking, and Adaptive Sound Control, which adjusts the noise canceling based on your surroundings. We designed these to be much more than just a pair of headphones, and we’re so glad you’re enjoying that premium, feature-rich experience. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great headset but…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio on this headphone is very impressive. My only issue is the build quality, specifically the ear cushions. They feel very cheap and I can already tell by just few uses that they’ll deteriorate really fast. If you’re an avid headphone user I wouldn’t recommend this because of the cushions. You’ll think that for something this expensive Sony will take their time to ensure that the build quality is fantastic .
