    Great pair of headphones and I have no complaints aside from the price. Many actual Hi-Fi audiophile quality headphones you can buy for similar price.

    Not worth it, Broke after 4 months of use

    Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.

    I bought these headphones in November 2025 and after only 4 months the hinge broke completely on its own while I was wearing them.No dropping, no impact, no misuse whatsoever. The plastic at the pivot joint just gave out and a large chunk broke off, making them completely unusable. Also, the difference in sound quality compared to the XM4 is practically imperceptible in everyday use. On top of that, the XM4 actually has better active noise cancellation. If you're considering these headphones, my recommendation is to go with the XM4 instead, they're more durable, have better ANC, and the price difference is not justified by any real improvement in the experience.

      Hi Daniel,
      Thanks for the review. We truly appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts with us.

      We're so sorry to hear that your headphones broke. That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’ve only had them for a few months. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the sound and noise canceling compared to the XM4. We take these comments seriously to help us make better products.

      To help fix the broken hinge, we recommend contacting our parts supplier, Encompass. They can help you with a low-cost repair.

      You can find more details at this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00346233

      Thanks for considering Sony and letting us know about this issue.
