    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).

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
