    Good, it works, they are headphones. Wished they were more transportable like the 4s. Only complaint but better sound and look (personally).

      Hi HectorG, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new 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. Regards, Carl Sony_US

    Love the large cups and the good seal. Easy hook up to iPhone. For an older but IT-wise individual, the instructions and accessories are somewhat confusing. Audio is great! Very expensive

    Gave a 4 because there isnt a way to tighten to stay on head, when i lay head back. They just slip right off:(. Very comfy and great sound, but not for those people that work out.

    I'm about 2 weekish in wearing these as my daily set. I've have the new gen airpods pro's and a fresh new pair of wf1000xm4 from sony as a replacement. After having all tried them all, these hand downs are my favorite and hard to put down once there on. Earbuds are cool when needed especially workingout but man these are just great for working from home and just lounging. Get them if you CAN!

    I purchased a Samsung OLED S95B 4K Smart Television in 2022 as soon as it was release. I tried using earbuds watching my favorite television series and movies but they hurt my ears. I had been waiting for the Sony M5's to go on sale Black Friday 2023 and they did. I purchased the Sony - WH1000XM5 noise canceling headphones and the sound quality is fantastic, better than the M4's. I prefer the M5's case oppose to the M4's.
