We love hearing that your son is enjoying his new WH-1000XM5 headphones so much—though we might recommend taking them off just long enough to charge! It’s a huge compliment to our design team that he finds them comfortable enough to wear all day (and almost all night).
Thank you for choosing Sony for such a great gift! :D
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Wonderful
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product comes packaged in its own sleek carrying case, its not the most elegant but it will work incredibly well if you do not want to spend money on a different one, or as a place holder until a different one comes in. The sounds quality is amazing, absolutely top of the line comapred to any other retail marketed headphones out there, Bose, Apple, Beats, JBL, and other Sony products.

Posted .Hello MadelineB,
Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear they are still working amazingly even after a year and that you appreciate the amazing adaptability to surroundings.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts about the noise canceling. To help maximize performance, we suggest checking the Sony | Sound Connect app.
In the app, you can confirm that Adaptive Sound Control is OFF (as it can sometimes switch to Ambient Sound mode) and that the Ambient Sound Control setting is clearly set to Noise Cancelling in the "Sound" tab.
We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!
Best regards,
Estefany

Sony does not disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these for some time now and I have no regrets. The best ANC I have had has been with these and the ambient is even as good. I have switched over to headphones from earphones because all of them have fallen out of my ear no matter what the design was. Only thing I do wish was that the touch controls were on both sides.
