      Hi PiyushN,

      You made the right choice with the Sony WH-1000XM5! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and battery life 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!

    Sounds great once you set up the app. I wish it could go louder, but I'm sure it's a liability for Sony.

      Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, Jsesh! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the high-quality materials and the industry-leading noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM5 headphones.

      It's great to know the touch sensor controls are making your listening experience easier and more intuitive—they allow you to control volume, skip tracks, and activate features like Quick Attention or Speak-to-Chat with just a simple tap or swipe, creating a seamless way to manage music and calls without taking off your headphones.

      We're also excited that the sound quality, from clear highs to deep, bumping bass, and the wide volume range, is living up to your expectations. We designed the WH-1000XM5 to provide crisp, dynamic audio no matter your music style.

      If you ever want to explore features further—like customizing your sound via the Sony | Headphones Connect app or adjusting noise cancellation and ambient sound controls—we’re here to help you get the most out of your headphones!

      Thanks again for being part of the Sony family and for choosing the WH-1000XM5.

      Best regards,
