Hi GherardoC,

We are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the exceptional sound quality, long-lasting battery life, and industry-leading noise canceling feature of our WH-1000XM5. Regarding your concern, it's possible that the Speak-to-Chat function (the headset pauses or mutes the music which is being played) of your headphones activates when you sing loudly or speak to someone. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. But you don't have to worry, you can disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident or if you don't want the music to pause when you begin to sing. For details, please visit the link below:

I hope this helps.

The WH-1000XM5 headphones rewrite the rules for distraction-free listening. 2 processors control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support, the WH-1000XM5 headphones provide awe-inspiring audio quality.

Thank you very much for your purchase and for choosing Sony!

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
