Silicone Case for Sony WH-1000XM5, Sony xm5 Wireless Headphones Protective case Cover (Midnight Blue)

Overall 5 stars! Pros 1. Precise cutouts, still relatively easy to use buttons, sound quality seems unaffected. 2. Still can use Sony headphone touch sensor capabilities even with this silicone cover on. 3. Great value for what you get (was about $16 when purchased) 4. Headphones still fit in original Sony headphones case even with silicone cover on--for transparency, the fit into the case does become more snug, of course. 5. Relatively easy to install. Quick tip--line up precise cutouts first when installing. 6. Protects headphones well, and silicone not too thick. Cons 1. If being really nitpicky, the "white" is more of a "light grey", not white. Advertized as white at the time of purchase 7.11.2023. (Photos taken on a sheet of white copy paper for reference.) Honestly, this isn't a dealbreaker for me so I'll keep it at 5 stars. Mentioning in case anyone else cares.

Once I was able to figure out how these went on, it was pretty easy. They stay in place and protect the headphones perfectly. Quality is nice, no issues. I wish the top was a little bulkier because the headphones slide off my head when looking down ( That’s a Sony problem, not this product) Overall a great cover and adds good protection to the overly priced headphones we all pay for.

As soon as I bought my Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, I knew I needed some protection for my investment. After browsing through the many options available, I decided to give this case a try. Having never purchased a case for headphones before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The quality of the case is impressive. It was super easy to install, and the silicone feels soft to the touch while resisting fingerprints, which is a nice bonus. The headband cover is comfortable and doesn’t slip, even though it has a relatively slick finish. The ear cup covers stay securely in place and haven’t fallen off with regular use (though I don’t use my headphones for workouts, so I can’t speak to heavy or rough use). My only complaint is that the stitching on the headband has started to fray after just a few months of regular use. While it’s not severe, it does make me question the long-term durability. I don’t think it will fall apart anytime soon, but I’m skeptical it will last more than a couple of years. That said, this is still a great product for protecting your Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. Despite the minor issue, I’d recommend it to anyone looking to keep their headphones safe and in great condition.

The color is gorgeous, as I bought the WH-1000XM5 in the white/beige color, which was on a lightning deal at the time. I actually wanted the midnight color, so this case was perfect. It was like nothing to install; it took less than five minutes. You need to ensure that you wrap it around the part between the actual pads and the outer edge, allowing for seamless installation. The size fits perfectly. The quality is outstanding, especially for the price. It protects what it needs to protect. If you have these headphones, there’s no reason for you to really need anything more than this. It functions perfectly.

I never write critical reviews on products but this one is an absolute scam. The silicon covers for the sides of the headset are cut wrong and in the first time I ever went outside with the headset both just fell of without me even noticing. In the few hours I did manage to test it the touchpad which is usually relatively reactive even to small gestures required now much more force and wasn’t comfortable to use anymore. The silicon cover also makes it very uncomfortable to press the buttons on the left sides. Overall the only positive I can say about this cover is that the color is actually quite good and the material feels pretty decent.

I like these: the stock matte black Sony XM5's are magnets for fingerprints, etc. I wasn't sure if these would fit well and if they would/wouldn't interfere with the touch controls, but they actually look and work great! My only two complaints: 1. Started out with "white" ones (the item description also says "silver") but in reality they are neither white nor silver being a more cream looking color or "dirty white" which I didn't like--ordered the blue ones which look great. 2. It' be nice if the zipper pull on the headband cover would stay tucked into the zipper flaps, but it doesn't stay there for long. Overall I think these are really good at protecting the headphones and basically eliminating all the greasy fingerprints from use and protecting the headphones from scratches, without interfering with the touch controls or other buttons.

I am someone who takes care of their electronics. I always carefully remove my xm5s and put them back in their carrying bag after use. I read some reviews online about the durability of the silicon leather, and I can’t imagine it’s an easy feat to replace the headband on my xm5s. This got me looking for alternatives. One day, I stumbled across these covers in a review section of a different product, and I immediately searched for silicon xm5 covers instead of the mesh cover for just the headband. These are great! The silicon feels durable, the zipper is tight so the headband doesn’t slide, and per one other reviewers experience, I disagree with the zipper being heard though the headphones. Just tuck it in the silicon tread from the zipper, problem solved. The ear cup covers lip slightly over the plastic so they essentially “hook” onto the headphones. They seem to stay on, but they do shift from time to time and the ports get slightly obstructed by the silicon. It takes only a few seconds to adjust them back, but it can still be annoying. Lastly, the silver color is not identical to the originals, but it is a hell of a lot closer than I thought it was going to be. It’s just slightly lighter than the original. (My headphones are a year old, so it could just be me; brand new out of the box color is probably closer!)

The tactile sensation of the ear cushions is quite similar to that of the ear cups themselves. My sole reservation pertains to the cutouts for the buttons on the left earpiece. They pose a slight challenge to press, although this may be an idiosyncratic issue. Individual experiences may vary. I would have favored tactile bumps instead of cutouts, with the exception of the blue LED indicator, naturally. Aside from this, I encountered no difficulties in donning the ear cushions. I had reservations regarding the functionality of the sensor on the right ear cup while wearing the ear cushions, but I am still able to swipe without hindrance. I am perplexed by the assertions of others regarding the ear cushions falling out; it is possible that they are not installing them correctly. There are extremely small, inconspicuous lips around the rims of the covers, and it is essential to ensure that they are securely wrapped around the ear cups.

Bonne qualité protège bien j'ai l'impression que ça isole aussi un peu le son. Elle n'empêche pas d'avoir accès aux commandes fois appuyer légèrement un peu plus fort.

Cumple con lo que promete, solo se pierden los gestos, pero vale la pena traerlos bien protegidos, probablemente a algunas personas les guste y a otras no, a mi no me importa, siempre y cuando estén bien protegidos.

Excelente producto, buen material y le queda perfecto, llevo unas semanas usándolo y no se mueven de mis wh 1000. 100% recomendado para proteger tus audífonos.

these are really nice i just use the covers for the cups but the top piece is nice as well it doesn’t hurt the head

Muy buenos solo que el cierre le quita un poco de estética ya que no se ven las líneas tan fijas y se corruga al momento de cerrar el cierre
