    Great Sound and Noise Cancelling, Poor Quality

    I've had a few pairs of headphones in the $200-400 price range over the past few years. This is among the best in terms of sound quality (Sennheiser Momentum 4 is about the same to slightly better at a lower price) and the best in terms of noise cancelling. However, these headphones are made very cheaply and are not built to last. Immediately when taking out of the package I could feel they were made out of a cheap plastic and had concerns about their durability. I enjoyed them for about 7 months until they broke at the rotation point. If you are willing to pay this price and buy the geek squad protection plan these are good headphones but if you don't get the plan or expect to keep these for many years beyond the length of the plan I would stay away from these. It's disappointing they can't spend a bit more to make these right considering the price.

      Hi Patrick, While we're glad that you've enjoyed the noise canceling and sound quality, we regret to hear that the rotation point broke. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Having said that, we'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.

With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality.

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
