Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your headphones, download the Sony Headphones Connect app on your smartphone to manage EQ settings and firmware updates. Pairing is simple: hold the power button for five seconds to enter pairing mode, then select 'WH-1000XM5' in your device's Bluetooth menu. For care, store the headphones in the provided protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the fixed hinges. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces; avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the headphones in water, as they are not waterproof.
