Now I see why the MX5 was released so soon and was necessary! Mine broke just after 8 months and it doesn't look like it's covered under warranty.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Great video. Very easy to follow instructions. Just used it to replace the right hinges of XM4.

I could cry im so happy w this vid and the replacement parts I bought from yall! these headphones have been a lifeline for me so when the hinge broke I was devastated cause I couldn't afford to replace them. Thank u! - an Autistic individual

Thank You Sir... You are doing the Lord's work. I am glad I googled "Broken Sony WH-1000xm4 headphones" before clicking the purchase button for a new set. Thanks again..

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!

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!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I ordered a right side swivel last week to the UK and it turned up so quickly. following this very clear tutorial, I've managed to repair them without having to buy a whole new pair! top results, thank you so much :)

Saw some replacement pieces on amazon, but luckily I stumbled upon this video. Decided to order the part from Central Sound, so glad I did.

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!

I needed replacement blue gaskets as I snapped one of them by accident. I couldn’t find info on replacements, so If any of you want to know 4x1mm o rings fit just right for me, hope this helps.

How can I get the replacement for the blue rubber?becaus after all this time with my damaged headphones i lost it

any idea how to remove the end part of the headband for most headphones, my right ear piece broke off cleanly from the wire that goes from the headband through the swivel part and need to get more wire exposed in the band to solder new wires between the 2 for a stronger connection, my headphones are Sennheiser PC 350 SE

Does anyone know what size the light blue o ring is for the l swivel bit.

Would i be able to send in my headphones for repair?

what's the use of that little blue rubber ring🤔

What do I do if I stripped two of the screws?

what can I do if the part you show isn't broken but what is actually broken is the part with the blue o ring attached to it?

I hope you will be restocked again soon with the right swivel piece 🤞
