    Great sound, great noise cancellation. I am almost 80 years old, with hearing loss. I tested several models in the store, all sound pretty much the same. The kicker was the comfort - with the sony's you don't even know you're wearing them. I figured that if they were uncomfortable, I probably wouldn't wear them. Recommended.

      Hi Pedd, Great choice! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US
