      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:

    My son got these and he loves them, he usually needs to wear over the ears (xm4) but he got these for when he is working out and he says they are awesome. The only negative he has is that he loses them sometimes because they are small…… but that isn’t Sonys fault
