Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the WH-1000XM5, NinelM! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the high-quality noise cancellation and that our headset has become your top choice.

Regarding your mention of handwashing the case, we appreciate your attention to keeping your accessories clean. While it’s important to maintain your headphones and their case, we recommend following Sony’s official care instructions to ensure long-term performance and avoid accidental damage. For most Sony headphone models, it’s best to clean cases with a dry, soft cloth, and to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as some cases may not be water-resistant and moisture could lead to malfunction or affect their longevity.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Sony. We hope your WH-1000XM5 headphones continue to provide an exceptional listening experience!

Best regards,

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

Hi DallinC, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality and noise-canceling features. However, I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing with the headband padding.

Ensuring the correct fit can significantly improve comfort. Here are some tips on how to wear the headphones correctly:

Check the Left and Right Indicators: Make sure you are wearing the headphones with the correct orientation. The left and right sides are marked on each slider, with a tactile dot on the left side.

Adjust the Sliders: Extend the sliders and position the earpads to cover your ears completely. Adjust the sliders so that the headband touches the top of your head softly.

Ensure Proper Fit: Make sure the earpad cushions do not bump against your ears and that the headband fits snugly but comfortably on the top of your head.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
Carl
