Are WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5SA the same headphones?

The headphones themselves are the same model with the same audio performance, ANC, microphones, battery life, controls, and Sony | Sound Connect app features. The only difference is the in-box case.

What’s the difference between WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5SA?

WH-1000XM5 ships with a hard case, complete with zip closure and compartment for storing the USB and audio cables. It offers maximum protection against knocks. WH-1000XM5SA comes with a soft, zippered foldable pouch that’s lighter and packs flatter.

Which should I choose – hard case or soft pouch?

Pick hard case if you want sturdier protection in backpacks/suitcases – it even has a compartment for cables. Pick soft pouch if you prefer a slimmer, lighter carry solution that packs flat. Both include the same headphones and core accessories.
