    Sound quality is great and so is the noise canceling feature. Can get a little uncomfortable wearing it for too many hours consistently but mostly very comfortable if adjusted well to fit head.

      Hi Sokh88, Awesome! We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of your 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. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

      Hello MadelineB,
      Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear they are still working amazingly even after a year and that you appreciate the amazing adaptability to surroundings.

      We also appreciate your honest thoughts about the noise canceling. To help maximize performance, we suggest checking the Sony | Sound Connect app.
      In the app, you can confirm that Adaptive Sound Control is OFF (as it can sometimes switch to Ambient Sound mode) and that the Ambient Sound Control setting is clearly set to Noise Cancelling in the "Sound" tab.

      We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!
      Best regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

      Thank you for the feedback, MatthewWolowitz.

      We're glad you like the headphones but sorry the noise canceling isn't hitting the mark. We recommend disabling "Adaptive Sound Control" in the Sony Sound Connect app to keep the ANC at its maximum level. Ensuring a snug fit around the ears and checking for the latest firmware update can also significantly improve performance.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      We love hearing that your son is enjoying his new WH-1000XM5 headphones so much—though we might recommend taking them off just long enough to charge! It’s a huge compliment to our design team that he finds them comfortable enough to wear all day (and almost all night).

    i love these headphones, they look like pebbles & the noise cancelling on these bad boys make you feel like you’re exiting a pressure chamber when you take them off. 10/10. the only thing im not a fan of is that they collect sweat when you work out in them. and maybe thats my fault, and i shouldnt be working out in them. other than that, seriously so perfect.
