Wicked Cushions Extra Thick Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM5 - Soft PU Leather Cushions, Luxurious Noise Isolating Memory Foam, Added Thickness | Black

Perfect fit and improved noise reduction as the originals were beginning to wear after 1600 hours use 12 hours a day. Installation Video helpful and required to avoid damaging the headset. Close color match and comfort better. That said, the touch sensors are no better during the hot weather and I am considering the silicone protectors as well during hot weather conditions. To avoid water damage.

Great ear pads. I've had the XM5's for 4 months and put off getting these earpads as I reasoned that Sony would have better R&D than a small third party company. Boy was I wrong! The earpads are more comfy for sure. One of the reasons I was unsure wether to get these is I thought the noise cancelling would be worse and I heard on Reddit that callers could hear themselves with WC's. I tested the noise cancelling with one original earpad and one WC earpad with an external speaker as seen in the video. The WC significantly adds to the noise cancellation. I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps the old ones are worn out by 4 months of 8 hours of workdaily use, but the seem good still. Callers can hear themselves with these pads, but only when you turn the volume up to an uncomfortable level. Perhaps thats the case with the old pads too, I didn't test that. For normal use/ people with normal hearing it should be fine, my friend couldn't hear herself when it was at a normal volume level. Overall 5/5. Will be testing these out at work, commuting etc to see how they hold up to real world use, but loving them so far.

They're thick and comfortable. Well worth it

These are a solid replacement and fit well. I can’t say I really notice the “extra thick” aspect they seem pretty much the same as the original ones to me. That said, they’re comfortable and do the job just fine.

Good quality, comfortable, secure fit, make sure to clip them in fully then go round again and gently press on the plastic to secure fully

great makes the fit of the headphones just a little more secure and snug, but it's not intense or irritating.

Much comfier than the original ones, easy to install.

Bought along with the silver silkins. Wow these pads are amazing. They have improved the depth of sound and my noise cancelling is now better than it's ever been! Fabulous
