Hi EvelynT,

Great! We're thrilled that your daughter is enjoying these amazing headphones.

The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the review. Extend the slider to its full length before putting on the headset and then adjust the slider to a length where the headband touches the top of your head. Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.

Hi Kaayla,

We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you’ve had with our product. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't meet expectations. Your feedback matters to us, and we’d like to help resolve this.
To address the issue with the background noises, you can try the following steps:

Confirm that your headphones are running the latest firmware version. You can check this link with more information: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm5/software/00278246

Use the Sony | Sound Connect app to adjust the noise cancelling settings. Specifically, make sure that the Ambient Sound Control is properly set or fully deactivated if necessary.

Ensure there are no other devices causing interference with the Bluetooth signal. Moving to a different location may help identify if the issue is place-related.

If the steps above doesn't resolve the issue, you can initialize the headphones to restore factory settings. Open this link to check the steps for this procedure:  https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541013.html
