      Hi Good,

      We are excited to hear that you find the WH-1000XM5 headphones so comfortable and that you're enjoying the high-quality audio!

      It is wonderful that you are experiencing the power of our eight microphones for noise cancellation, which work to keep out more high and mid-frequency sounds than ever before. We are also glad you're benefiting from the Auto NC Optimizer, which automatically ensures your noise canceling is perfectly optimized based on your specific wearing conditions and environment.

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

      Hi HeidyS,

      We are pleased to hear you find the WH-1000XM5 headphones to be a really comfortable pair! We apologize that you are experiencing struggles with the touch controls when skipping music, as the gesture controls should be consistently responsive. This issue can sometimes be caused by the Bluetooth signal quality, especially when the headphones are set to prioritize audio quality over a stable connection, so we recommend opening the Sony | Headphones Connect app and changing the setting to "Priority on Stable Connection" in the Sound tab. If the issue persists, please try restarting your playback device (phone/laptop) or performing a simple reset of the headphones (instructions are in the help guide) to clear any temporary glitches.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    Very good sound quality after some adjustments in the application. I use it mostly for watching movies on a Sony TV. My only complaint is that Dolby Atmos is not supported.

    All around happy with these headphones. I often work driving loud trucks and heavy equipment. While I need to hear alarms, horns or changes in the sound of the machinery the dull roar can become incredibly exhausting. However with these headphones I can adjust how much of the ambient noise I hear so I do not interfere with the safe operation of said equipment. I am also very pleased with the call quality and I am told that I sound much clearer when on the headphones whether or not I'm operating equipment

    This headset is awesome, the sound is amazing and the noise cancellation is unmatched. people can be behind you speaking and all you hear is your podcast and music. loud and with the Sony app you put on the phone to fine tweak this makes it even better. The battery Life is rediculous I can go weeks with out a recharge. if your on the fence for a great headset just get these. Also movie watching is so good with these.
