I just repaired my headphones using this video as a guide

Very clear, concise and calm and made it easy. 10/10

Thanks for the guide. I can't believe how cheaply these are made. I bought them for my wife about a year ago and they snapped from gentle at home use. On other hand I had my bose QC35 II since 2018, they endured lots of traveling and hard slams from a skateboard and still going strong. It is an obvious design flaw and sony doesn't want to honor their warranty by calling it a cosmetic damage. I don't feel like buying anything expensive from sony ever again.

what the hell, it was THAT easy??? THANK YOU HAHA. i just bought a pair and im a tinkerer so i thought i'd take a gamble on the rare case they break, turns out it's extremely easy and affordable if they even break. thank you!!!

Completely guide, saved me a lot of things plus a workout I was gonna miss without the headphones! ❤ 👌

Thank you for this tutorial. I was able to replace my hinges along side you and your detailed video. I love these headsphone over my Bose Q25's but its ridiculous that they are made this cheaply and the repair should be covered by Sony. If the Bose headphones were this comfortble and this great with features I would consider going back to Bose. I still can't believe both my hinges broke with light daily use at home and commuting to work on the rare occassions when I go in the office. Thanks again for the help. 😊

Great tutorial, I couldnt have fixed my sony headphones without this video. Thank you so much. God bless :)

Hello. Thanks for sharing the how to. For others like me that tried to super glue the hinge, it is not worth the effort. It last a little but the stress is to high and it broke again. Do not even weart his headset on the neck. It broke your hinges. They are not made to turn on neck / shoulders when you turn the head. It is a very tricky design, some people thinked a lot on how to make us upgrade to Bose.... "Go ahead and ... " LIKE & SUBSCRIBE !

Thank you for this step by step tutorial Joe! your clear calm detailed explanation was easy to follow.
This little plastic is definetly a design flaw, possibly a delibrate ploy, to sell more (who knows). I burnt through bunch of cheaper headphone prior to deciding to spend the bucks to get the 1000XM4. I got sick of the ear pieces breaking in various places, thats why I decided to go for this expensive headphone in hope of better and higher durability and quality of design that would avoid breaking again. I was wrong, it still broke. Over all I'm happy with the headphones have had them for several years sounds great but that little plastic still breaking off should have been made of metal due to the high amount of stress being applied to it. Thank you again, and God bless you!
