      Hi John, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM5! 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! -Carl Sony_US

    All around happy with these headphones. I often work driving loud trucks and heavy equipment. While I need to hear alarms, horns or changes in the sound of the machinery the dull roar can become incredibly exhausting. However with these headphones I can adjust how much of the ambient noise I hear so I do not interfere with the safe operation of said equipment. I am also very pleased with the call quality and I am told that I sound much clearer when on the headphones whether or not I'm operating equipment

      We appreciate the 5-star rating and we're glad you like the comfort, call quality and smart features of the headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Regards,

    Best Headphones I've Owned

    I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.

    I love the feel of the new headphones. I had over 1000 hrs on my mx4 before the phyically broke. I look forward to just as much usage with these new ones. I mainly got these for multi connect bluetooth so I don't have to switch devices or take off the headset.
