Hi BrandonH, That's awesome! We are thrilled to hear that your wife absolutely loves her new Sony WH1000XM5 wireless noise canceling headphones. You chose the best for her. Thank you for trusting Sony! Vincent

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the sound quality of the WH-1000XM5, CM009. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying your listening experience.

Regarding your comments on noise cancelling: The WH-1000XM5 uses advanced noise cancelling technology to minimize background sounds, but the effectiveness can vary depending on your environment and how the headphones are worn. If the noise cancelling seems weaker than expected, making sure the headphones fit securely and checking for firmware updates through the Sony | Headphones Connect app may help enhance performance. Additionally, updating and customizing the noise cancelling settings in the app can sometimes make a noticeable difference.

For the controls issue: Occasional touch control inaccuracy can be due to external factors like moisture, debris, or how the headphones are being touched. For the most accurate response, ensure the touch sensor area is clean and dry, and try using deliberate taps or swipes as shown in the user guide. If issues persist, restarting your headphones or resetting settings through the Headphones Connect app may improve responsiveness.

Your feedback is valuable, and we’re always working to improve our products. If you need further assistance with noise cancelling or controls, please contact customer support or visit the Sony support website for more troubleshooting tips.

Thanks for choosing Sony.
