Seriously, with these things it's not a matter of if you experience the hinge issue, but when. Keep listening to your gut and stay away.
Community Reviews
The WH-1000XM5 is a strong noise-cancelling travel headphone, with sound that is repeatedly described as better than the XM4 and ANC that wipes out plane noise. The pads are very soft, and the headphones can stay comfortable for long workdays, flights, and even sweaty workouts. The main concern is the fragile hinge, which is tied to breakage reports and warranty frustration. The shallow ear pads can also touch larger ears, and the cups do not fold as compactly as the XM4. It is a compelling option if the improved sound and ANC matter more than portability and hinge durability.
Common Questions (5)
The XM5 generation is widely reported to have fragile hinges that can crack or break, sometimes within months of use. The XM4 and XM6 are described as having stronger hinge designs, so the XM5 is the riskier pick if hinge durability matters.
The ear pads are very soft and can avoid ear fatigue, but the cups are also described as shallow, so larger ears may touch the inner part of the headphones. They can also run hot for warm or sweaty users, especially during longer sessions.
The XM5 is described as having noticeably better sound quality than the XM4, while the XM4 is still preferred by some for being louder and fitting better. If sound quality is the priority, the XM5 gets the edge; if fit or volume matters more, the XM4 may be preferable.
The XM5 is reported to be excellent for flights, with noise canceling strong enough to eliminate plane background noise. It is also used for long travel sessions, though some people prefer the XM4 for a smaller folding form factor.
It can work for running and sweaty workouts, with one owner using it without issues and simply wiping the pads afterward. If you sweat heavily, the pads may still feel hot during exercise.

I recommend saving your money and opting for the XM6 instead.

I own the 4s and the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2. Got the 4s for $111 refurbished from Secondipity eBay store, & the B&W new from the Costco deal for $150.
The B&W have far superior build quality, precision, audio separation, and general sound quality. The 4s have marginally better ANC, and feel lighter but also cheaper. But they are better for travel IMO because unlike the 5s, the 4s fold into a smaller form factor.
