Posted .Hi TraceG, thank you for you feedback! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the Sony - WH1000XM5 overall. We appreciate you mentioning the hiccup you experienced with random shutoffs. We have some recommendations to share so you can get the smoothest experience possible.
1- Set the "automatic power off function" to [Do not turn off] on the [system] tab of the Sony Sound Connect app.
2-Make sure the battery is always fully charged
3- Update the software
4- Wear the headset so that your ears are fully inside the earpads so that the wearing detection works properly.
We hope these steps help you, in case you need further assistance you can contact our technical team via: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thanks again for being part of the Sony family! Regards, -Dominick

Got a wierd sound when i was talking while wearing my headphones and found out that it minimizes sounds while i talk so i can hear people responding. That was an awesome feature i didnt know was there.
