These have multipoint connectivity that works pretty well to operate Bluetooth from two devices. Best implementation I've used.
A little loose and fall off if I don't move them forward when I bench. This also means they're relaxed and light when sitting upright.
People talk about broken hinges... I've seen no hint of it yet.

No audio via USB-C
Is this issue really as bad as people say? From what I've read it's only a minority of people it happens too while most never have that problem. Given how these are one of the most popular headphones out there it makes sense you'll hear about the hinge issues even if it's only a small minority of people who experience it
Good question. It's all anecdotal i suppose but a Google search brings up a lot of unhappy XM5 owners with broken headphones. May be a small minority but I'd sure hate to among them.
That's true I hate to be one of the minority as well. I was thinking of potentially getting the new XM6, but Sony is asking a ridiculous price of $449 for them which comes out to roughly $500 after taxes that's insane...
I didnt see the pricing. That IS insane. Apparently they changed the hinge design while always failing to acknowledge the issue in the WH-1000XM5s. There was a rash of refurbished XM5s very soon after they dropped which was very odd. They were like $168, I think. Always a chance there's a rash of refurbs via Secondipity for the XM6s that will come with 2 year Allstate warranties.
Had mine for 2 years daily use, lots of travel, no issues with the hinge.

Seems the hinge issue isn't as widespread as reported, but the 2 year warranty helps put me at ease.
Thanks, OP!
