Hi Camm,

Thank you very much for the 4-star review! We are honored to hear you find the WH-1000XM5 to be great headphones and that you have no other complaints about the overall experience.

We sincerely appreciate your detailed feedback regarding wearing the headphones with glasses. We often recommend making sure to run the Noise Cancelling Optimizer feature in the Sony | Headphones Connect app while wearing your glasses, as this can help the headphones adapt the ANC to the slight difference in fit.

We really appreciate you choosing Sony!

Best regards,
Dominick
