    I have to return these. I work from home, making telephone calls. They turn themselves off while I am in the middle of conversations. They also make me sound like i am in a tunnel under water, according to those with whom I am speaking.

      Hi Dissatisfied, we regret to hear that the headphones had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. If the headset is turned off automatically, we have troubleshooting steps to fix the issue:
      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.
      We value your feedback as it helps us improve our products. We hope you'll consider Sony in your future purchase.
      Sincerely,
      Erin Sony_US

    I liked these headphones and used them daily for 9 months. Today the earpiece came off the frame. Customer support called it a cosmetic issue. I think a $400 product should last longer than 9 months.

      Hi RickyF,

      We do apologize for the inconvenience and we understand your concern. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. The WH-1000XM5 has a 1-year limited warranty. This limited warranty does not cover products with cosmetic issue. You may take your unit to an authorized servicer for evaluation to determine the out of warranty repair options available.

      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US

      Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase.

      Regards,
