Poor Construction
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my set in july 2024. I am very careful with my audio gear. After 8 months, the right piece broke off. A little gorilla glue and it was reattached. 2 weeks later, the left unit broke off. Sony wont fix it and the Allstate extended warranty is impossible to communicate with. So, do I spend another $400 to replace them? Would you?
