    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. He has a Sony noise canceling headphones now and he said these are better. He likes the ability to turn on/off the noise canceling when we are out to dinner. He can turn it off to talk to me, then turn it back on easily afterwards.

      Hi JannJ, We are happy that your husband loves his new Sony wireless noise canceling headphones. With our WH-1000XM5 headphones, he can enjoy magnificent sound quality which is engineered to perfection and have a battery life that can last up to 30 hours with quick charging (3 min charge for 3 hours of playback). With 8 total microphones, these headphones are our biggest step forward in noise canceling technology. For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat and Quick Attention mode stop his music and let in ambient sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! Vincent Sony_US

    I temporarily upgraded to these from my Sony XM3's. I say temporarily because I sold them and went back to my XM3's after about 3 months of use. The XM5's were far less comfortable than the XM3's and really didn't offer much if any discernable improvement in sound quality. Other than the design, the other upgrades were not substantial enough to make them worth another $380 (depending on when you buy them). If my XM3's go out, I will most likely go with the XM4's until Sony releases the next iteration.
