Hi Drizzly,

We are very sorry to hear that your charging case has stopped responding. We understand how disappointing this is, especially when you have only owned them for a month. Before considering a return or replacement, please try the following troubleshooting steps to see if we can restore the connection:

1. Please ensure you are using the original Sony USB-C cable provided in the box.

2. Connect it to a USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more.

3. Leave the case plugged in for at least 2 hours. Even if the LED stays dormant initially, it may eventually turn on once it reaches a minimum threshold.

4. If the earbuds are not "detecting" the case, it is often due to a buildup of microscopic skin oils or dust on the charging interface. Use a dry cotton swab or a soft cloth to gently clean the gold contact pins inside the charging case and the corresponding contact points on the earbuds.

If the hardware is clean but the issue persists, please attempt the following:

Hi ScottC,

That's quite a feat! While the WF-1000XM5s are water resistant, they're not waterproof. In the future, it's important to be cautious when handling your earbuds near water sources. We do have good information on how to care for the headphones here:

Hi Alex, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony WF1000XM5. While we're glad you like the great sound quality and noise canceling feature, we regret to hear that these earbuds didn't fit great on you. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We also recommend experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. If you've already tried changing the eartips to another size and you're still having issues with fit, we suggest trying out third-party eartips. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam
