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.
The noise cancelling and sound quality can be top-notch for everyday listening.
The WH-1000XM5 can eliminate plane background noise during long flights.
The over-ear pads can feel soft enough to prevent ear fatigue during wear.
Some buyers report the refurbished XM5 arrives in the original box and keeps working fine for years.
The XM5 hinge can be fragile and may break, with Sony potentially refusing warranty coverage.
The ear pads can be shallow enough to touch the inner headphones for larger ears.
The XM5 can get uncomfortably hot for warm or sweaty use.
Some units can fail to pair or produce sound, which suggests receiving a dud.

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.
