      Hi Orlando Good to hear that you like the sound quality 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

      Hi Jose,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating and we're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the headphones. The WH1000XM5 can be used for work out session in the gym. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.

    Initially purchased a pair and was hearing screeching sound, left side. 7 days after purchase, returned to Miramesa, San Diego BEST BUY and it took less than 5 minutes to exchange it all out. Best customer service ever! Second pair of headset is now my favorite and I have Bose headsets as well.

    Love the ANC and the sound response. One caveat with these over the ears is that they can heat up your ears. I can last for an hour or so. Also, not good for the plane, the prior model is better, folds up better. Pretty pricey as well.
