      Hi KimR, Great choice! We are 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

    Probably the worst headphones I have own. Sony managed to create the worst possible headphones on the market. They constantly drop in the middle of meetings and calls. The most recent issue is not charging correctly. Yesterday, I was not able to charge them all day. I would recommend getting something different. Because these headphones are not worth the price.

    After only a year and a half of owning these the headphones have broken at the hinge point. I’m very disappointed in the quality and durability for the price I paid. My Bose headphones lasted for well over 8 years with the same regular wear, but I thought I would try something new since I liked Sony’s technology and they seemed to be on par with the sound quality of Bose, my mistake. Would not buy these again. 6 months out of warranty, and I’m out $400 and another piece of technology is headed to the trash. Don’t get these, go with Bose.

    These things were...overpriced and had awful audio quality. Louder music or gameplay made the audio crackle on them and the built in mic was a joke, my friends said I sounded like I was trapped in a tin can. Returned them and got a pair of Logitech for $200 cheaper. They refused to connect to my bluetooth as well without an adapter. They did block noise so I guess they weren't wrong about that.

    It's the xm4s with a less comfortable design and carrying case, with a $50 price hike. Save some money and get the better, last gen version. Mine can't even connect to anything properly. It's hard nothing but trouble with these.
