Don't Sweat
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The features are top scale, mostly. My biggest complaint is the sweat and moisture resistant tech that this brand ignores. You can't use these at a gym. You can't use these outside, in a state with long, hot summers. You can't use these at work, unless you work in a freezer/meat locker. The leaflet included shows that you cannot sweat while wearing this headset. I look forward to an after market set of pads that are moisture wicking and breathable.

Posted .Hi Kevin, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the overall performance of your WH-1000XM5, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet all of your expectations. A simple walk in the park or light workouts shouldn’t be of concern for the WH-1000XM5. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task like the WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.
Regards,
Carl

The Best Audio Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony xm5 are by far the best headphones I've ever used. I bought the Boes 700 and they kept disconnecting from my phone so I returned them and got the xm5. The sound quality os amazing and the noise cancellation kept me sane for a week while my roof got repaired.
