    Very good headphones 9/10 It has an awesome feature to change the way you want to listen to music and don't forget canceling noise, but why not a 10? She was 10 months old then, but unfortunately the head support needs a bit more support, it could fall off if you like to run a lot.I think it’s a very well headphones.

      Hi Mari, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Glad to hear you like the excellent noise cancellation of your new Sony XM5. To ensure a comfortable and stable fit, try to adjust the left and right slider of the headphones. And the step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear. Hope this helps!

    I decided to purchase the Sony wh-1000xm5 headphones due to its extremely high ratings and rave reviews from tech websites. I paid $450 for them, and 14 months later, the hinge broke, and they are now useless. Evidently, this is - and has been - a major manufacturing defect on not just these but the previous model. They are comfortable, sound quality is excellent, but I am positively livid due to having been totally ripped off, and will never again purchase a Sony product. This is inexcusable. (BTW, it's virtually impossible to repair the hinge - I tried three times, three different ways, to no avail).

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
