      Hi CollinRhodes, Amazing! We're glad that you like the comfort and battery life. For low sound level, the following steps might help fix the issue:

      Turn up the volume of the headset and the connected device.
      Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.
      Reset the headset.
      Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.

    I found these headphones to be uncomfortable. They do not provide enough padding on top of the head. Also they hurt my ears because they don't have enough that in the ear pads.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi AlexanderM

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that the WH-1000XM5 headphones didn't provide the comfort you need, particularly with the padding on the headband and earcups. We understand how important a comfortable fit is for an enjoyable listening experience.

      If comfort is a key concern, you might be interested in exploring our newest model, the WH-1000XM6, which features a redesigned headband and earcups that many users find offers enhanced comfort for longer listening sessions.
      Thanks for considering Sony Products.
