WC SweatZ XM5 - Patented Earpad Sweat Covers for Sony WH1000XM5

Unlike a lot of reviewers I didn’t grab these for the gym. I wouldn’t bring a pair of headphones this expensive into a really sweaty germ filled environment. My issue is that the Sony’s-while a beautiful pair of headphones-are one of the hardest to keep clean and unmarked that I’ve ever used. They are absolute magnets for any amount of grease, oils, dirt, dust etc. At the rate I was wiping them I thought the covering would wear off in record time. So I grabbed these to hopefully extend their life and reduce wear and tear. They are nicely packaged and presented. They pop on very easily. Very comfy and work a treat. No negative effect on the sound and if anything I think they might help create an even better seal around your ears. Very happy. Recommended.

Excellent covers for sweat. The sweat obviously doesn’t absorb into the pads, so it shows up more on the pads and you have to wipe it off - which shows just how much sweat can be absorbed each workout. I got these to protect my earphones. Install was quick and easy. Only thing that may be improved on is some cut outs for the charging cables and 3.5mm lead otherwise you have to pull the cover forward, but it’s not a big deal. Would recommend it.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do without interfering with sound quality. The silicone is smooth and flexible, seemingly good quality. It doesnt mess with the seal around your ears either. However it doesnt fit well over the headphones themselves. They look perfect on my grey XM5s. However, they slide and fall off quite easily. Given the price, I figured I would get more of a snug fit that. I spent a lot of time reattaching them whenever i took them off or tried to put them in the case. It became a big nuisance - which became a bigger nuisance when i just straight up lost one of them. Its hard for me to recommend them given the price I paid. Theyre good.. but they could be better

High quality protection for my Sony xm5, excellent.

I made the switch to XM5s from Airpods Pro and something I didn’t realise is how much I actually sweated until I got these headphones, especially in the gym. That’s why I decided to buy these, to protect my headphones. I don’t regret it. Not only are the earpads comfortable, they do a great job at protecting my headphones from sweat. I would definitely recommend you get these if you workout consistently.

Does job it is designed for but they do fall off and you have a decent chance of loosing one or both sides.

Looks and feels great quality. Used them a few times in the gym and kept my headphones in great condition a bit pricey but worth it.

I was allergic to the original Sony headset, this helped me to use the headset longer

If there's one thing I dislike about the XM5's, its how stinky the OEM earpads get. I work outdoors with my XM5's on, so I sweat heavily. The sweat can mix with the scent of the earpads and give off the smell of wet dog, so when I found out there were earpad covers for this type of thing, I just had to buy them. First impressions: Purchased the black covers, and they feel good. They were easy to put on. Because its all black, its easy to track any dust or debris that gets stuck on the cover. When it's stretched over the earpads, it can cover over the ports and the buttons on the side of the headphones, which isn't a huge deal as you can slide part of the cover aside to plug into the headphone jack or charge it. They clamp just as well without the cover on, and with aggressive head shakes it doesn't fall off. There's negligible difference in noise cancelling with the cover on. With sound, it can muffle bass just a tad to be noticable, but anything past that there's no difference in sound. I spent a whole day with it on. During light jogs, it clamps very well and it didn't start shifting around my head until I ran about 1 kilometre. During sprints, it would shift. Didn't have to adjust the headphones until I hit about 50-75 metres. After one week of ownership: Still solid, no cracks or defects on the cover. Laying flat on a surface makes the headphones fall off faster compared to when the covers are off. The material of the cover works well against sweat, and the sweat evaporated off the cover when given time to breathe. Surprisingly, black covers on a white xm5 don't look bad. Even though the overall look may be different to the OEM, if you have black hair the color difference won't be as noticable with the headphones on. With the covers on, the whole earpad portion looks bigger because the covers are designed to wrap around the unit. Overall, aside from minor nitpicks about the earpad clamping, its a solid product and a must-buy if your ear area gets dirty/smells dirty. The covers will prevent your earpads from smelling like wet dog and prolong overall headphone lifespan.

El material del que están hechos es muy resistente y flexible, cubren perfectamente la parte del auricular, no permiten que el sudor entre a la almohadilla. Yo las utilizo en mis Sony XM5 y jalan perfecto, la medida es exacta y cumplen su propósito muy bien, no se salen permanecen fijos todo el tiempo. Solo de vez en cuando en el gym te los quitas para limpiar el sudor y te los pones de nuevo. Vale la pena por la protección que te ofrecen para cuidar tus audífonos, el precio se me hace muy bueno por la calidad del producto. Los que yo compré son color negro y son idénticos al color de mis audífonos, así que no se nota que traen una protección adicional. No te calientan las orejas y son muy suaves y cómodos. Una excelente compra, más que satisfecho. Tal vez me anime a comprar después los color camo para variarlos y hacer más divertidos mis audífonos.

Good product , perfect fit , protects your headphones from sweat , not as comfortable as the original cushion but it's a compromise to ensure longitivity of headphones , installation was also very easy.

It really helps protecting from the sweat

Lätt att dra på.
