||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones, good sound, but I personally had a problem - after 1-2 hours of use my ears start to hurt from the pressure of the headphones themselves. Maybe it's just not my headphone format

Broken Right Hinge-- like a lot of other people
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and battery life means nothing if the right earpad is dangling loose. I tried to figure how I could possible have broken these so quickly, then I found all the other customer complaints. The connection between the headband and the earcup broke at the rotator. (And there's no self-help way to glue or tape it back to function.) I got a Bose headset as replacement, and it working great... with parts falling off. This is a product defect. It is a shame because the Sony sound and function were great ...for a few months. For me, this was a waste of money. NOT BestBuy's fault by the way. This is a Sony product defect. (Model: WH1000XM5/B, SKU:6505727, purchased 12/21/2022)
