Use cases

For travel, the gray leather-look finish works as a flight-ready gray XM5 face for commuting and flights. The oval XM5 over-ear seal is the relevant headphone shape for this listing, while the drain-and-wipe gray skin wording reflects the practical cleaning approach: wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth and air-dry. Do not machine-wash.

This listing is for Sony MDR-1000XM5 only. It is not first-gen MDR-1000X cups, and the name should not be used to assume a fit for WH-1000XM2 gray pads. Buyers checking a typical XM5 rim swap can use the model name as the fit reference. The SKU 179800 gray leather option is paired with the black 174198 sibling in the same XM5 listing family; gray versus blue 179801 is a separate comparison reference.

What is in the box

The shipment is this product: a matching pair of Sony MDR-1000XM5 replacement ear pads in gray leather-look protein leather.

The listing is sold as a matching pair, not as a lone left or right cushion. The box does not describe extra accessories, tools, or a separate installation kit. If you are planning how to replace ear pads on Sony MDR-1000XM5, confirm the headphone model before beginning because MDR-1000X and WH-1000XM2 pads belong to different SKU families.

Care and model guidance

To care for the surface, wipe the smooth leather-look material with a slightly damp cloth and let it air-dry. Do not machine-wash. This simple care approach helps preserve the clean gray appearance without adding a complicated maintenance routine.

For model selection, the product name lists Sony MDR-1000XM5. The gray version is SKU 179800, while the black sibling is SKU 174198. These details help distinguish the gray replacement from other Sony headphone pad families and from other color options.

Choose this replacement when you need gray ear pads for a Sony MDR-1000XM5, want a matching pair, and prefer a smooth protein-leather surface that is easy to wipe clean. The item ships across the US.
