Overall Great Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are easy to setup, comfortable, and have a long battery life. The noise cancelling could be better. Not sure if its the software or the actual headphones, but in some environments the noise canceling doesnt even seem to turn on.

Posted .Hi Ralph, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5. If the effect of the noise canceling of your WH-1000XM5 is not sufficient, please follow the steps on our Help Guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000534745.html
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.
