      Hi Advz1, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF1000XM5. We're glad you like the great sound quality and incredible noise cancellation of these earbuds. We're sorry to hear that the earbuds turns on randomly while inside your pockets. This is usually not the case for our WF1000XM5 nor the experience we want you to have. To better isolate this issue, can you tell us if the earbuds turns on even when the charging case is closed? In the meantime, please make sure that the left and right earbuds are properly set into the charging case, and close the charging case lid. If you are unable to resolve your concern, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Hi EdgarjM, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the features and design of the case. However, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the sound volume and battery life.
      Your comments are invaluable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our products.

      Regarding the battery life, consider the following factors:

      - Features like the equalizer, DSEE Extreme, and noise canceling can significantly reduce battery life. For instance, using high-quality playback settings can consume more power.
      - Ensure that the charging case is adequately charged and the earbuds are properly seated for charges.
      - You can also perform a factory reset if you face persistent issues. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html
