The Sony WH-1000XM5 redesigned the ear cup geometry compared to the XM4: a new oval shape, a cleaner headband profile, and slightly refined ANC. The stock pads are leatherette — the same material failure mode as every other Sony ANC headphone, eventually peeling and cracking under daily use. Dekoni's XM5-specific fit addresses this with two material options. Available materials Choice Leather: Protein leather, memory foam fill. Maintains the seal geometry the WH-1000XM5's ANC depends on. More durable than the stock leatherette without changing the closed presentation the headphone was designed around. Choice Suede: Microsuede, memory foam fill. Noticeably cooler than leather during warm weather or extended wear. The ANC seal remains adequate; the bass emphasis decreases marginally. Worth it if the XM5's default sound reads as too heavy in the low end for your use case. Drop-in fit. Genuine Dekoni pads,

Our take

Dekoni's material names, decoded: Choice is the value line, Elite the premium one. Sheepskin seals tightest and lifts bass slightly; Fenestrated (perforated) sheepskin opens the sound back up; Velour breathes best for long sessions; Hybrid mixes sheepskin outer, fenestrated inner, velour face; Gel actively cools. If you are torn between two, velour for comfort, sheepskin for isolation.
