I was so mad at how easy I actually snapped this piece. I stumbled upon your site and figured might as well try fixing it, ordered it . The product shipped super-fast Your video was extremely easy to follow along with . Now my headphones are good as new !!

You are the best. I thought my headphones were finished then I saw your video. I ordered the part and you sent it promptly. I took my time and followed your instructions step by step. As I removed the screws I put them in individual sandwich bags so I wouldn't lose them and numbered them 1-5 so I could replace them in reverse order 5-1. I would suggest that anyone doing this repair do it on a day off like I did so you can take your time and pause if you become frustrated. Remember you are working with plastic don't force anything and only tighten the screws until they are snug. I am really grateful thank you for posting this video.

It worked! Thank you all so much for selling these parts, and making tutorials so we can replace them ourselves and save money. I’m autistic, and these headphones are really the only way I can even sleep in the busy college apartment I live in. Y’all are life savers, legitimately.

I tried. Thanks for putting this out there. The screws at 3:12 are glued in. I managed to get the top one out and the end 5-6 threads have some black material in the threads. I scratched through the wires embedded in the board trying to get the other one out...

We'll see how it lasts with that scratched part.

Thanks for your help.

I ordered a right hinge replacement from Central Sound. Super Fast ship. I followed this video and it worked out perfectly. I even got a hand written thank you with a smiley face on the packing slip. Stuff like that goes along way in today's business climate. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again!

My Sony WH-1000XM4 headphone's Left hinge swivel broke today! I've had mine for 2 years. Praise the Lord you sell parts 🙏🙌 Thank you 😭💗

This video was a 10/10 on how clear it was which helped me repair this stupid issue by myself thank you! Originally I went to a few repair shops to see if they could fix this for me because I was to nervous but after countless repair shops not specialising in headphone repair I bit the bullet and ordered the parts and I'm so glad I committed to it. The amount of money I've saved because of this video is absolutely amazing and if your nervous judt think about the amount of money you will be saving. I think it's close to impossible to fail at this repair with how clear this video is 🙏🙏

Amazing follow along! I've had my headphones for 3 years now with heavy useage (I like them even just for the noise-cancelling so I wear them all the time), and the right hinge did suddenly break on me. I wasn't too mad considering how much use I've gotten out of them, but considering everything else still worked great, I'd much rather just replace the hinge (+earpads while I'm at it) then pay for a whole new pair. The video is also very easy to follow along with. Thank you!

For anyone looking for short term fix: I used ducktape but made sure to go under the hinge and not just around. This enabled me to wear it, but couldn't tuck it way and the tape did loosen over time but lasted fairly well so long as you went under the hinge. It was an alright fix while I waited for the right hinge to be back in stock and ship to me.

Omg you are a lifesaver. My headphones somehow broke. I found this video and ordered the parts to fix it. I just followed along step by step. We are back in business! thanks so much!

[andrewcorrigan]

I know this is a simple job but I found it deeply satisfying following along. Brilliant video with no annoying music and no hint of being patronised in the commenty. Thinking of buying and breaking everything on your list now. That said, I made one tiny boo boo... @5:20 the removal of the hanger. One of the scraw moldings cracked and is now unusable. I reassembled it anyway and it dose seems sturdy. I was thinking of glueing but that would prevent future repair. Any thoughts? Thanks again!

[Jdawg]

Thank you so much! I'm not much of a DIY guy but after my hinge broke I bought the part and followed along. Fixed it so it's as good as new!

Thanks to you, I’ll be able to use my headphones again. Sony wanted to charge me over $100 just for this simple issue, thank you!! You’re a life saver

[itsemari]

Great video and product!! My XM4s broke after just one year of use and I was not ready to let them go, especially considering the cost! I was able to fix my headphones using this video in about an hour total. I had trouble getting the black screws out and had to order a micro screwdriver set on Amazon. Once that came in, the rest of the video was super easy to follow and my headphones work great now.

[ZanetaW]

Thank you so much :) I bought a replacement part from Sony's distributor for the entire headband and the semi-circle parts that click into the cups parts. This video was great for showing me how to get to the stage of taking those semi-circle parts on, and then putting everything back together. I'm also using the left video to help with this. You're a lifesaver!

[craigbenjamin]

Just got my order in today and fixed them within an hour!!! I am so glad I came across this video - Thank you so much! I use these headphones WAY more than I should be lol, i was down bad not having them for the past few days but they work good as new now! 10/10 service and video

[danielyoung_]

Great repair video, successfully fixed my headphones hinge! It's crazy how easily they broke, wasn't being heavy handed with them in the slightest. One minor detail, at 12:30, the cable was pulled out further than it was before. Line up the brown dot with the first little crevice and the white dot with the last, so you don't have any extra slack in the cable. Use 8:20 for reference.

[mothkyra]

I ordered from you 2 times and each time was a great experience :D.

i just ordered the hinge for my Xm4 and im glad you sell those parts and provide instruction!
even for people outside The us!, im glad you provide that service


Update 3rd may: Parts arrived and Headset fixed!

[Sir_Graem]

Thank you thank you thank you, first ever self repair and you made it easy to follow along and get it done. Bought the clip from you and I’m more then happy to do so as you helped me install it. Can’t thank you enough, you saved me from getting another pair, much appreciated.

[miradormagazine]

Fantastic tutorial - thank you! I bought the replacement from you, all which was great - but this video was wonderfully easy to follow. I especially appreciate that you went step by step on putting it all back together! I don't have a ton of skill for this stuff, but having it go slow and steady was a great confidence builder. Bonus points for no background music!

[swiftysnail]

I can't thank you enough for both the product and especially the tutorial, I'd already lost another pair of sony headphones to a similar issue and I would've been distraught if this new ( and substantially more expensive pair) was unusable for the same stupid reason. It was really tricky to repair as someone who's never done anything of the sort but the guide was quick and consise. 10/10 would repair again!
