||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially purchased a pair and was hearing screeching sound, left side. 7 days after purchase, returned to Miramesa, San Diego BEST BUY and it took less than 5 minutes to exchange it all out. Best customer service ever! Second pair of headset is now my favorite and I have Bose headsets as well.

Beware Known Design Flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's the point of best-in-class sound quality, noise cancelling, general features. sleek aesthetics, etc. if there's a known design flaw regarding the weak hinges? I had the XM5s for less than three months, coddled the heck out of them, and they still broke. I don't trust the XM5s anymore. Even if they were to be fully replaced for free by Sony. Or if I had to pay "only" $99 to get them replaced by a Sony authorized repair company. I am gonna switch to the XM4s, and I pray to all things holy I don't have any similar issues. Making flagship headphones (with flagship prices) is meaningless if they don't actually last. At least my WH-CH700N "mid-range" headphones have some semblance of sensible design + craftsmanship.
