Posted .Hi MarisaN, Great choice! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially purchased a pair and was hearing screeching sound, left side. 7 days after purchase, returned to Miramesa, San Diego BEST BUY and it took less than 5 minutes to exchange it all out. Best customer service ever! Second pair of headset is now my favorite and I have Bose headsets as well.
