Hi, JonathanH,
Thanks for the comments. We are sorry to hear about the inconveniences presented, as we understand this is not the experience our customer are meant to go through. We would like to mention that you can download the Sony Sound Connect app, where you can manage the touch sensor functions, that way you can avoid unwanted muting. We will add a link which you can access to get more information on the functions of the earbuds' touch sensor and troubleshooting for the issue:
We appreciate the understanding and thank you for considering the Sony products. Have a nice day -DiegoV

I have been using these headphones for the last few weeks and i am a little disappointed in the product. When i put them in my ear, it hurts over time and the noise canceling function is ok. My recommendation is to buy headphones that are cheaper and would be the sam quality.

Hi linz,
We regret to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the headphones. Your feedback about the glossy design, fit, and noise is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The Sony Headphones Connect app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. For more information, please refer to this link:

The battery life in these can last on an entire international flight but once you drop them, it ruins the battery to the point where they won't hold a charge any more
And they keep making the new models even smoother to slip off your fingers
It's annoying
