Customers are saying

Customers regard the product's sound quality as impeccable, frequently praising its comfort, impressive battery life, and lightweight design. While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

      Hi koaabs, Thank you so much for choosing Sony! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase! 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. -Carl Sony_US
