    There are a lot of reviews suggesting these headphones are lacking in durability. I agree with this. I had to get a replacement in the 1st year because one of the speakers were damaged. I had exclusively used the headphones at my office job without ever dropping them or transporting them. The replacement pair I got with the warranty about a month ago are still working normally. When they work, they sound great, though I do find the construction rather flimsy for the price point. I also own Bose QC45 and I find them to be much sturdier with similar sound quality. I will say the noise cancelling on the Sony headphones is significantly better.

    I previously owned Sony XM3 and XM4 wireless headphones. The XM5 is a significant upgrade with a more refined and neutral sound. However, I don't notice much difference in the quality of noise cancelling, compared to the XM4. The XM5 is comfortable and easy to setup and use.

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. -Carl Sony_US

    So far this headphones have been amazing... My son enjoys useing them everyday when he works out and also the hand gestures that you can wave your hand over the right side of the headphone makes it lot real easy instead of clicking on your phone or pushing the button... I would definitely recommend to anybody that works out and wants noise cancellation to stay focused...
