The hinge issue isn't exaggerated. This isn't worth the risk

I personally prefer these for travel as I can keep them on comfortably for 15+ hours since it has a less tighter fit than the xm6. It also gets my ears less hot than the xm6 did. I will say after they updated to adaptive anc they don't work as good anymore which sucks.

How concerning is the hinge issue really? I've been wanting to get into Sony XM line, and XM5 seem the perfect fit, but the only thing that's stopping me is the hinge.

I was heavily interested in these, but my research seemed to reveal that's it's not a matter of if it will break but when it will break.

That add-on warranties specifically do not cover broken hinge claims is very telling.

I don't understand Sony's thought process for getting rid of the hinge. Is 4 or 6 better?

Who needs folding headphones? It's not like people frequently use them while traveling and space in bags is limited or anything...

6s are definitely the way to go if you can get a good price on them, but you're almost certainly going to pay way more for the newer model.

4 is better value due to being older. has the sturdier design with folding hinges and is more travel friendly.

I have the 4's and the 6's and you really can't go wrong either way. The 6's may have a tiny bit better sound quality if you are an audiophile. The ANC on both are outstanding.

Quality of this line has gone down in terms of value after the 3 in my opinion.

Might be worth at this price though.
