Why don’t they fold?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved the color and this is one version higher than my previous headset however, this version has such a large footprint. It doesn’t fold so the carrying case is large. I didn’t set it up, went back and upgraded to the 6.

Posted .Hi 3angels,
We appreciate your honest feedback on the design of this particular headset. While we're glad you loved the color and the quality, we understand your point about the larger footprint and the non-folding design impacting portability, especially when compared to your previous model. We continuously strive to balance sound quality, features, and design, and user feedback like yours is incredibly valuable as we refine our products.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a good day!

Posted .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.
Best regards, Eliab
