      Hi 02291992,

      We appreciate the recommendation and we're glad to hear that you like the noise canceling of the headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi Tutu, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH1000XM5! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. -Carl Sony_US

      Hi TispyCanoe, We're glad that you like the headphones. We're sorry if one of the batteries won't charge. We'd love to help and turn this into a better experience. Please try the following steps and see if this fixes the issue.

      Try charging with the supplied USB Type-C cable.
      It is recommended to charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 15 °C and 35 °C (59 °F - 95 °F). Efficient charging may not be possible beyond this range.
      Reset the headset.
      Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
