This model is a wireless noise-cancelling headphone and is the 5th generation model of the popular 1000X series. Its design has been refreshed from the previous model 1000XM4, featuring an eye-catching and sleek design with oval-shaped ear cups. Due to this design change, while the main body has become lighter, the ear cups have actually become larger, greatly improving comfort. As an active noise-cancelling headphone, it always represents the pinnacle of its time, and calling it a milestone wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Points to note when fitting the cover:
1. Do not cover too deeply
If you cover too deeply, the tension of the cover becomes strong, making it difficult for the ears to fit into the ear cups, or you might feel a pressure on your ears when wearing. It is recommended to cover the left ear cup so that the cover doesn't overlap the button, and the right ear cup should be covered to the same depth as the left. (Please refer to the above picture)
2. Position the cover vertically
This cover has a different stretch rate vertically and horizontally, with the vertical direction stretching better. Since this headphone has a vertically long ear pad, fitting the cover vertically (in the direction that stretches well) will improve the fit. To attach the cover vertically, fit the seam on the rubber band of the cover to the top (or bottom) of the ear cup.
This allows you to position the cover vertically.

mimimamo Super Stretch Headphone Covers are washable, stretchable fabric covers designed to fit over the original earpads of SONY WH-1000XM5 headphones. They offer a convenient alternative to replacing worn, peeling or deteriorated earpads. By fitting over the existing pads, the covers help contain flakes and stickiness, reduce direct contact with worn surfaces and keep the earpads cleaner. The soft TENCEL® fabric absorbs moisture and dries quickly, helping reduce discomfort caused by sweat, heat and sticky earpads during long listening sessions. mimimamo staff tested Size L covers on an actual SONY WH-1000XM5.
