Sony strongly recommends using the original USB cable to charge the headphones, but the included cable is the shortest cable ever!

Thank you for mentioning not sleeping with them.

You should really tell us HOW to clean it and what substance can be considered okay esp for its earpads.

[MrLuisJF]

My XM3 are looking good after 2 years.

I cleaned them using a cotton pad with a little bit of alcohol. It did pick up dirt from the ear pads and I immediately used a soft cloth to absorbe and remove any alcohol that was left on the ear pads
I also left a couple of Silica packs on the case, one for each ear-cup.

I really was concerned about alcohol damaging the materials but maybe it hasn’t done much to any damage since I used it somewhat sparingly.

I was hoping that the tutorial would mention whether to use water or alcohol wipes (wet naps) on the pads, to refresh them.

When the comments section is more helpful than the video itself 😂👍🏽

Since a lot of people come here looking how to clean them, do not use alcohol to clean them - this includes alcohol pads. Sony’s website says to use soapy water in a rag that’s been tightly wringed out

The provided cable is too short. Mine is useless. Unless I'm using a battery pack. I used to stretch the headband while removing the headphones. Now I know how to do it correctly, thanks

I have the Sony MDR-XB650BT I have like 5 years with them and they still look like new and work like if they were new

[koitou]

i usually put my cable thru inside my neck hole then down to my shorts or jeans, its a bit inconvient to remove but its better than getting ur cables stuck in door handles

Sony tip: don't clean your headphones using the washing machine.

Storing these headphones the way mentioned with these kind of hinges prone to snapping is not a good idea. A headphone stand or even just laying flat on a surface and avoiding the folding is much better as it will put less stress on the hinges over time. I never thought I'd correct Sony themselves on a "care tutorial".

[ArtSMRdianne]

Yeah... a dry cotton pad won't be enough to clean them...
Came here to find out what can be used 👎

Sony: "Avoid getting the headphones wet with swear or water"

Gym bros: "Say what now?"

the top part of the headphones has started to peel, does anyone know how to replace it or have a link to a video showing how?

How should I prevent wrinkles on the cushions of my wh 1000xm4s?

After new update automatic power off and on, music pause feature is not working in my Sony xm4 headphones.

[ViciousPikachu]

Serious question. I just got my Sony xm4
When sitting next to a fan and using noise cancellation and calling i get wind noise which doesn't happen when noise cancellation is disabled and it's like I'm hearing my surroundings through my mic.
When calling i get a lot of noise from outside like if i can hear the wind noise from the mic which doesn't happen when I'm not calling. I can hear my voice like a double voice when i activate inbuilt Alexa.
Is this happening with you too? Should I replace my headphones as i have 6 days left to do it.

I have a Sony wh1000mx5, I want to know which specific detergent made for headphones to clean like sweat, dust and rain with no alcohol to damage the headphones

[dictionplacement]

my headphones cracked when i got carried away and lifted them after charging by only one earphone.. big mistake! and I sleep with them probably shouldnt but I usually wake up and take them off in the middle of the night
