With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Flawed construction

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I absolutely loved these headphones until a plastic component broke on the left earphone, rendering them useless. I wore them daily, they charged ultra fast, their sound quality was fantastic, and their noise cancellation was perfect for what I needed. *BUT* their shoddy cheap construction didn't make it halfway into the warranty period. Extremely disappointing. Do not buy these.

    A plus. This product lives up to its reputation. Sound is terrific and it does, indeed, cancel outside sound----until you press on a Headphone when outside noise can be heard. Sweet gear.
