Hi BasharA, Great choice! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather.

Hi AmmadN,

We are sorry to hear that the fit of your WH-1000XM5 feels loose and heavy. To ensure a more secure feel, we recommend extending the sliders fully before putting them on and then adjusting them until the headband rests softly on the top of your head, which helps distribute the weight more evenly and stabilizes the earcups. Since these headphones feature a "soft-fit" leather and a lightweight design, finding that specific "sweet spot" with the slider length is key to preventing them from shifting while you move.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the WH-1000XM5, NinelM! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the high-quality noise cancellation and that our headset has become your top choice.

Regarding your mention of handwashing the case, we appreciate your attention to keeping your accessories clean. While it’s important to maintain your headphones and their case, we recommend following Sony’s official care instructions to ensure long-term performance and avoid accidental damage. For most Sony headphone models, it’s best to clean cases with a dry, soft cloth, and to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as some cases may not be water-resistant and moisture could lead to malfunction or affect their longevity.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Sony. We hope your WH-1000XM5 headphones continue to provide an exceptional listening experience!
