Slightly bigger than the 4’s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great and the noise canceling is the best you can get of any over ear headphones right now, but they are too big for my head. I had the 4’s and they fit a little big too, but the 5’s are a good bit bigger. Because they don’t clamp tight enough and the head band is too long, they don’t seal well and pull away from my ears when I turn my head side to side. This effects the noise canceling because it won’t seal around my ears consistently. And because it doesn’t have enough clamping force, the headband puts more pressure on the top of my head and hurts after awhile. I love Sonys, but I prefer the fit of the 4’s. I don’t have an abnormally small head either!
