      Hi FNKYMNKY, Thank you for the amazing review! We're delighted to hear you like the fantastic sound quality, lightweight design, and intuitive controls of your Sony WH-1000XM5. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. 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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Not the best, but pretty good. I would not but another pair. Shorty battery and not up to par with so many other really good head sets out there.

    Excellent quality, but it hurts my ears when the noise canceling is on, also it doesn't compact itself with bending, and noise-canceling feel subpar compared to earlier Sony Headphones.

      Hi RedS, Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying your new headphones. We're sorry if they hurt your ears when noise canceling is on. You have the ability to fully control the noise canceling and ambient noise feature within the Sony Headphones Connect App. If you want to toggle between noise canceling and letting the ambient noises, simply use the button on the side of the headphones.
