Posted .Hello NikaM,
While we're happy that you are satisfied with the noise canceling feature and comfortability of our XM5, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues like the unit shuts off by itself while using it. This is not the news we want to hear. Please allow us to help. If the headphone shuts off in the middle of using it, you may not be wearing it properly.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can check:
- When you wear the headset over a cap, cloth, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. The automatic power off function may trigger and the headset may be turned off automatically. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads.
- When the automatic power off function is set to [Do not turn off] on the [System] tab of the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, wearing detection will continue to work and the symptom may be improved.
- Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Works fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are light and and sound fine. There is a pressure point on the top of my head with prolonged use where the bridge contacts my head. The discomfort is not immediate, but it does become pronounced over time. I think that all headphones likely have this issue with prolonged wear.

Battery length
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are excellent headphones. I have only one problem, the battery is crap compared to the 1000XMS. They do last all day but the older model lasted for 2-3 days. I know more electronics but that's a pretty steep drop-off.

Flawed construction
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely loved these headphones until a plastic component broke on the left earphone, rendering them useless. I wore them daily, they charged ultra fast, their sound quality was fantastic, and their noise cancellation was perfect for what I needed. *BUT* their shoddy cheap construction didn't make it halfway into the warranty period. Extremely disappointing. Do not buy these.
