      Hi Alro,
      Thanks for the feedback and for giving the WH‑1000XM5 a try.
      We're really sorry to hear they didn’t feel worth the price to you. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have with our products.

      We know value is personal, and your comments about cost and expectations are important for us to hear.

      If you think there might be a technical issue with your headphones, please reach out to our support team so we can help check what’s going on and look into options with you. https://www.sony.net/support-contact

      We really appreciate you giving Sony a try.
      Warm regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

      Hi John, Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound and noise canceling function.

With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    I'm a college student and these work great to eliminate all excess noise. Now I can study in peace and not be interrupted by my roommates coming home late from the bars. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours, compared with AirPods that hurt after wearing for awhile.
