    The sound signature is aggressive on these. But very responsive to EQ at the same time. Noise cancellation is solid as wel. Call quality is excellent also.

      Hi Rezzes, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US
