      Hi SACC,

      Thank you for the review! The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may get sweaty. You may need to limit your headphone usage. 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!

    The headphones themselves are wonderful! However, the zipper on the case broke within the first few hours of use. The case is now unusable which is a shame because it is a nice looking case. I contacted Sony for a replacement and they said it was a known issue but still could not send a replacement. Great headphones, know you will most likely need to get a third party case.
