      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We’re honored to hear that you found the WH1000XM5 headphones comfortable. However, we apologize for the issue you experienced with the transparency mode being louder than expected. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Rest assured, we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for their review as we continue to work diligently to improve our products.

      Best regards,

    I'm a college student and these work great to eliminate all excess noise. Now I can study in peace and not be interrupted by my roommates coming home late from the bars. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours, compared with AirPods that hurt after wearing for awhile.
