I used to love my 5909s. After a month, they began to drop my Bluetooth. While having the strongest connectivity of any Bluetooth I’ve ever had with headphones, they just started to drop the connection. After numerous discussions with MK, and proof of serial # etc., they exchanged them for a new pair. That was a month ago. Today is the first time I brought them on a plane. The new ones immediately dropped over and over again. I can’t believe it since airplanes are my primary target for these. Numerous long international flights where the ANC is perfect. Oh well, back to the wire. It’s just crazy.
I have the same problem. The leather has almost completely separated from the headband itself. Since product is 2.5 years old, the company refuses to do anything about it. For a $1,000 headphone, this is unacceptable. I won’t be buying another Mark Levinson product going forward.

I have the exact same issue of the Bluetooth dropping randomly. Sometimes 1-2 times in an hour. Sometimes 1-2 times in a minute. It’s infuriating. Did you find a fix?
The supposed fix was they replaced my headphones under the two year warranty. But the same problem exists. They are incredible ANC in planes but maybe that’s why they give us an 8’ wire!
