    I was ready to return it within the first 24 hours of purchase. However, the more I used it the more I understood. The ear was a bit tight, this was not great if I wanted to use it for more than 2 hours. However, the more time I dedicated, the more the Ear Cushion molded to mine. Now, I have gone 5 hours straight without any issues. Great Dual Pair Connect for Phone & Laptop. { Bose were my last headphones }

      Hi AB321, Great! Choosing these headphones will definitely be worth it. It's amazing to hear you are satisfied with the incredible audio and you like the lightweight design of the 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 elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for giving the product a perfect rating and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    I was apprehensive about purchasing these. Since I have owned them now for a few months, I would say they're worth it. The sound is awesome and the noise cancellation is among the best I've used. The best thing is how nice they are at totally blocking out the boss's voice, girlfriend when she's angry, and just anything that you don't feel like listening to. Get em. The Bluetooth distance is crazy.

    Similar to the other reviews. I used to own the sony WH 4s but overtime they fallen apart. I purchased the WH 5s for an "upgrade". The bass seems to struggle at high volume. When taking off the headphone to rest around your neck, they flip up intead of down towards your chest. They look great. Sound quality 4 out of 5. They may be on price drop soon.
