      Hi Vamsi, That's awesome! We're very pleased to hear you like the excellent noise cancellation of your new Sony WF1000XM5. The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    After owning for about a month, the case stopped taking a charge. The indicator LED stays dormant. And the headphones cant seem to detect the case anymore. Save your money. According to the internet. This is a common issue.

      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:

      Reset the headset: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html

      Factory Reset the headset: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      If these steps do not resolve the issue. Please contact our technical support team for personalized assistance:

      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Best regards,

      Hi Masterskz,

      While we're glad that you like the amazing audio and noise cancellation, we're so sorry to hear you are having issues with your WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds, particularly with mic during a call quality. This is not the experience we want you to have. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, tap operations or the speech detection of Speak-to-Chat may not be successful, or you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances.

      If any of this is the case, please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839
