      Hi Hal9000, Thank you for the 4-star rating! 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

    The headphones are excellent, but the customer service was extraordinary. I bought these not at a sale and almost a month later saw that they were on sale. Best Buy does price match with purchases as long as it fits the qualifications, so I talked to Best Buy support and they refunded me the difference with no hassle!
