Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the excellent audio quality and noise cancellation of the WH-1000XM5, ChaseP. Regarding your concern about the touch controls being overly sensitive, we understand that accidental activation can be frustrating.

While there isn’t an option to directly adjust the sensitivity of the touch controls on the WH-1000XM5, there are some best practices that may help reduce unintended touches:

- Ensure that you are making swipe gestures perpendicular (forward/backward) or parallel (up/down) to the headband, as the angle and direction can impact how the touch sensor interprets your input. Using correct gesture alignment may help avoid accidental activations.
- Be mindful of how you wear the headphones, as the orientation and how snugly they fit can affect the response of the touch sensors.
- When setting the headphones down or adjusting them, try to avoid contact with the touch control panel to minimize unintended input.

We appreciate your input, as it helps us continually improve our products and user experience.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

Best regards,
Gus
