    Got these for my son and he wears them all the time. Seems to really like them and all the neat features they come with / offer. Also seem to be built well and perform well. They are a bit pricey, but i got these on sale just before christmas and feel like they’re worth what I paid.

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the WH-1000XM5, NinelM! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the high-quality noise cancellation and that our headset has become your top choice.

      Regarding your mention of handwashing the case, we appreciate your attention to keeping your accessories clean. While it’s important to maintain your headphones and their case, we recommend following Sony’s official care instructions to ensure long-term performance and avoid accidental damage. For most Sony headphone models, it’s best to clean cases with a dry, soft cloth, and to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as some cases may not be water-resistant and moisture could lead to malfunction or affect their longevity.

      Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Sony. We hope your WH-1000XM5 headphones continue to provide an exceptional listening experience!
