    I got these as a gift for my sister and she said that everything about these headphones are amazing; sound, feel, and size are all good. However, she did mention that she wishes she could use them for a workout or something similar but they are not sweat resistant.

      Hi Review, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM5! 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. -Carl Sony_US

    the headphone itself works great. but i cant seem to redeem any of the gift codes included with the purchase. and also, i got the headphone for $248 on Black Friday sale and the price seems to remain the same to this day.
