Question about Sony WH-1000XM5

It was one for me. Tightened, pulled down a little until the length of the bracket fitted, broken on one side. Sony didn't cover anything under warranty, nor did Digitec.

Hello
Once you've been warned about the fragility of the hull, you have to be careful when handling it to adjust it.
That's all, after that the hulls are solid!

Hi,

Purchased in July 2023 and used several times a week since then. Nothing has broken and the quality is still the same as on the first day. I think it always depends on how you handle the hardware. The only thing that bothers me is 360 Reality Audio, as this requires an additional plan.
