    Gave a 4 because there isnt a way to tighten to stay on head, when i lay head back. They just slip right off:(. Very comfy and great sound, but not for those people that work out.

      Hi HectorG, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new headphones! 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. Regards, Carl Sony_US
