Amazing sound, horrible build quality
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphone sound amazing, have great noise cancelling, and are extremely comfortable. I’ve spent entire workdays with then on and never felt like I needed to take them off. Unfortunately, the weak hinge snapped on me out of nowhere and the headphones have become unusable. Apparently, this is an incredibly common issue with these headphones that Sony refuses to acknowledge. I wanted to love these headphones, but its not worth the money for less than two years of usage. Sony needs to fix this build issue on their next headphones and acknowledge the mistake on the XM5s.
