    [Employee of bestbuy] I use these for the gym & around the house. The noise cancellation works really well especially with loud music already playing in the gym. They are comfortable and for the price, they are worth it

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

    These headphones definitely have excellent sound quality. Initial use of The noise-canceling and ambient sound features are great also. One small minor critique I have with the headphones is that they're not sweatproof or water-resistant. You think for the price, they would have at least some type of water resistance. But the sound quality is impressive.

    Really like however they are a little loose for my head. The sound is great and I like the way you can turn it off and on. They are very pricey so hoping they last a long time as my Beats did not.
