    I was so mad at how easy I actually snapped this piece. I stumbled upon your site and figured might as well try fixing it, ordered it . The product shipped super-fast Your video was extremely easy to follow along with . Now my headphones are good as new !!

    It worked! Thank you all so much for selling these parts, and making tutorials so we can replace them ourselves and save money. I’m autistic, and these headphones are really the only way I can even sleep in the busy college apartment I live in. Y’all are life savers, legitimately.

    You are the best. I thought my headphones were finished then I saw your video. I ordered the part and you sent it promptly. I took my time and followed your instructions step by step. As I removed the screws I put them in individual sandwich bags so I wouldn't lose them and numbered them 1-5 so I could replace them in reverse order 5-1. I would suggest that anyone doing this repair do it on a day off like I did so you can take your time and pause if you become frustrated. Remember you are working with plastic don't force anything and only tighten the screws until they are snug. I am really grateful thank you for posting this video.

    Amazing follow along! I've had my headphones for 3 years now with heavy useage (I like them even just for the noise-cancelling so I wear them all the time), and the right hinge did suddenly break on me. I wasn't too mad considering how much use I've gotten out of them, but considering everything else still worked great, I'd much rather just replace the hinge (+earpads while I'm at it) then pay for a whole new pair. The video is also very easy to follow along with. Thank you!
    For anyone looking for short term fix: I used ducktape but made sure to go under the hinge and not just around. This enabled me to wear it, but couldn't tuck it way and the tape did loosen over time but lasted fairly well so long as you went under the hinge. It was an alright fix while I waited for the right hinge to be back in stock and ship to me.

    I tried. Thanks for putting this out there. The screws at 3:12 are glued in. I managed to get the top one out and the end 5-6 threads have some black material in the threads. I scratched through the wires embedded in the board trying to get the other one out...
    We'll see how it lasts with that scratched part.
    Thanks for your help.

    Great repair video, successfully fixed my headphones hinge! It's crazy how easily they broke, wasn't being heavy handed with them in the slightest. One minor detail, at 12:30, the cable was pulled out further than it was before. Line up the brown dot with the first little crevice and the white dot with the last, so you don't have any extra slack in the cable. Use 8:20 for reference.

    I let my teenager borrow my XM4 for a roadtrip; baby sister gets a hold of it and throws them, breaking the hinge swivel. Saw some replacement pieces on amazon, but luckily I stumbled upon this video. Decided to order the part from Central Sound, so glad I did. I received everything I needed (make sure to order the tools separately), and I was able to follow this amazing video to fix it. XM4 are as good as new. Really appreciate your help!

  • @rift_2074

    Thank you, Central Sound! I bought the replacement parts a few days ago and they came in today just in time for me to fix my headphones. This was the first ever repair I did on any piece of tech and the guide was super helpful. Though I am curious why the metal ring that goes into the swivel part looks a little different than the one in the picture when you click the link. Regardless, it's working great now so I'm happy. Thanks again!

    I can't thank you enough for both the product and especially the tutorial, I'd already lost another pair of sony headphones to a similar issue and I would've been distraught if this new ( and substantially more expensive pair) was unusable for the same stupid reason. It was really tricky to repair as someone who's never done anything of the sort but the guide was quick and consise. 10/10 would repair again!

    I know this is a simple job but I found it deeply satisfying following along. Brilliant video with no annoying music and no hint of being patronised in the commenty. Thinking of buying and breaking everything on your list now. That said, I made one tiny boo boo... @5:20 the removal of the hanger. One of the scraw moldings cracked and is now unusable. I reassembled it anyway and it dose seems sturdy. I was thinking of glueing but that would prevent future repair. Any thoughts? Thanks again!

    On the 11 minute of the video, how can I get the boot that spins in circle. That part of my headphone set is broken. Got my earphone dangling. Where is this tech at? I'm in West Los Angeles, CA. Teach me something to be a better tech.
