    I decided to purchase the Sony wh-1000xm5 headphones due to its extremely high ratings and rave reviews from tech websites. I paid $450 for them, and 14 months later, the hinge broke, and they are now useless. Evidently, this is - and has been - a major manufacturing defect on not just these but the previous model. They are comfortable, sound quality is excellent, but I am positively livid due to having been totally ripped off, and will never again purchase a Sony product. This is inexcusable. (BTW, it's virtually impossible to repair the hinge - I tried three times, three different ways, to no avail).

      Hi CMBeck, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with the hinge breaking after just 14 months of use. This is definitely not the quality or durability we aim to deliver to our customers. Please allow us to help you and investigate this issue further. We encourage you to reach out to our Sony customer support team, providing details about your concern.

    Dont waste your money. The xm4s sound just as good and more are way more comfortable. The headband portion is actually painful pulling on my hair. Pretty sure they didn't test this product with enough femakes in the mix. Waiting for my hair to fall out. Yrs, its that bad. Pretty sure that i will have a bald spot eventually.
