Posted .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
