      Hi Diego,

      We are pleased to learn that your WH-1000XM5 headphones have become such a vital asset to your education! We understand that for a student, a "best investment" means gear that can keep up with long library sessions and back-to-back lectures. It’s rewarding to know that the Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation is helping you create a distraction-free study zone, while the 30-hour battery life ensures you aren't searching for an outlet in the middle of a project.

      The Multipoint Connection is a particular favorite for students, as it allows you to stay connected to your laptop for a lecture while simultaneously paired to your phone for important notifications.

      Thank you for making Sony a part of your academic journey and for trusting us to help you focus.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    These are definitely a luxury headphone for when you’re looking for that smooth audio and features. Not a big fan of the material it’s made of due to it feeling a bit flimsy and less solid then other headphones.

    Great audio quality, fantastic noise cancelling, transparency is mediocre, and the ear cups are too shallow, so a bit uncomfortable.

    I bought this for my son as a replacement of his Beats solo3. He was going to get another beats but tried the Sony and loved it. He uses it everyday for whether he is training, working out or doing schoolwork.

    Really responsive. Amazing sound. Walked down a busy street during rush hour. All I heard was my music. I am worried about the material in regards to the cushion. Sweating while walking can damage them so try and keep them dry. Works great with my galaxy. Download the app to utilize the headphones full potential.

    Great headphones. - Noise cancelling is about the same as the MX3's - blueooth pairs and switching to devices is totally worth the buy. It connected to devices fast. - build quality and style is also much better than MX3's I recommend.

    Best headphones I have ever owned. Will never go back to subpar headphones ever again. The sound quality is immaculate. I highly suggest listening to any John Williams music at full volume with your eyes closed. It's so immersive. I've got 10+ ear piercings and these don't bother any of them!
