Damn Hinge gate has me terrified to bite ESPECIALLY because based on previous SD threads, Allstate won't cover the hinge issue. Ashamed to say that if these were $20 less, I'd take the risk eventhough I dont have faith in the product. I've wanted these for over three years.

This exact headphones and seller was on sale for $179.99 and was really popular a week ago. Here's the thread.

Is the hinge thing only XM5 and are XM6 as good sound-wise?

From what ive gleaned anecdotally via Reddit and here, early production XM5s dont seem to have the hinge issue but I have no idea what serial numbers correspond to the early batch run. So far XM6 have had a couple of hinge breaks but unclear if they happened naturally or for clout. https://www.rtings.com/headphones...3024/63313

I've had great luck with secondipity for Sony refurbs, earbuds, headphones, and sound bar all delivered as if new but no Sony box.


I bought these WH-1000XM5 refurb from Secondipity in November 2022, used them daily for 2.5years, and had the hinge fail last month.

They're built fine, prob nearly identical to factory spec, the issue w. XM5 is primarily w/ the hingest because they are thin and lay down flat its the generation w/ the weakest hinges and people keep breaking them, which is most likely why so many of them are in refurb bins rn. Im sure Sony and Certified repair centers are mainly dealing w/ those types of repairs.

The current XM6 was a huge update not only in terms of features but in hardware and ergonomics, They went back to folding hinges and beefed up the plastics tremendously so imho theyre a lot better in every way than the XM5 was. The XM5 was a bit of a downgrade for everyone who had the XM4 & XM3.
