Great Quality, Bad build
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great look, great QUALITY…. But terrible design. Not even 6 months into my purchase and the hinges on the headphones cracked, and Sony will NOT fix them, nor with Best Buy without Insurance. I would go for the XM4s which are better built to withstand wear and tear.
