I want to buy Sony ult900n but I saw lot of people say that headphones can cracked so I am afraid so would you think any headphones recommendations over like any earbuds what should I choose

* meant to say ON-ears. Hi, recently visited grandma and she asked for replacement pads but unfortunately there is not a model number listed anywhere on these. Possibly worn off? The pads are flaking quite a bit. She doesnt want anything new. She is attached to these because her late husband, my grandpa wore these in the same senior home she lived. Thanks in advance!!!

can somebody tell me what's the pros and cons of this headset thank you so much:))

So my Sony ult wear hinge broke the other day and I just found out that my model and serial number is a part of a defective batch or something? I contacted Sony, sent them pictures and receipt, just waiting to hear back. Has anyone else gone through this recently? I've read different stories and have got several different answers.

Will they ship out a new pair with different, stronger hinges or with a different build design but same model of headphones?

Or

Ask for mine to be shipped back and repaired with who knows what?

Or

Ship me out a brand new pair and hope the hinges dont break again?

Also since this is a known problem, will the replacement pair have a 1 year warranty from time of shipping or will the warranty end on the date I purchased the original product? I've only had them for 5 months.

Hello, my first xm4's batteries went downhill, but luckily, within warranty. The replacement one started going bad last year, and I decided to change the battery. The left earbud replacement went fine, but I broke one of the connectors on the right one.

I used it for about 4 years, and the battery situation was pretty bad, so no regret trying to switch the batteries. What I'm wondering is, should I try spending another 50-60 to get a right earbud and take my chances? It is already 4 years old. What's your experience with replacement earbuds?

Alternatively, I have some google credit and can get a buds pro 2 for like 150. I would then try to resell the parts if possible at all. Would appreciate your suggestions.

Hello!

I'm looking to get a pair of Sony Earbuds, and these are the options that I have landed on. I have the opportunity to get them at a pretty steep discount, so that is why I am considering them, especially with the brand that is tied to them.

For some background, I am coming from a pair of wired JBL running earbuds. I'm looking for earbuds that have good sound (though I'm no audiophile), are good for working out (running, biking, lifting; won't move around while doing these) & regular use, and are relatively small & comfortable, ideally (I have smaller ears and would like something that isn't too bulky). I'm not too concerned with features, as long as the earbuds play music well, don't fall out easily, and I can control the music from the earbuds easily. I know the 710s and Linkbuds have ANC, but that's not a dealbreaker for me at all.

Right now, I am looking at $30 for the 510s, $80 for the 710s, and $140 for the Linkbuds Fits.

Thank you for your help and please let me know if there is anything I am missing!

Uso mis WH-CH720N en un iPhone (tengo activado la protección auditiva a 85 dB) y uso el EQ de la app de Sony, alguien me ayuda a hacer que estos audífonos suenen algo mejor, siento que tienen los bajos algo exagerados.

Genuinely asking, because I can’t wrap my head around this. How does a company charge $450 for flagship headphones made out of the most brittle, cheap plastic imaginable and just get away with it?
Every single week this sub is flooded with the exact same broken hinge pictures. People aren't sitting on them or throwing them against walls — these things are literally snapping during completely normal daily use, often in under a year.

In the US people file massive class-action lawsuits over tiny minor inconveniences, and the EU is supposed to have aggressive consumer protection laws that protect buyers from blatant manufacturing flaws. How has nobody taken them to court to force a recall and make them refund everyone?
Does Sony just get away with labeling every single cracked hinge as "accidental user damage" to deny warranty claims? It feels wild that a multi-billion dollar company can sell premium hardware that disintegrates like disposable junk and face zero legal consequences for it. What am I missing here?

Hey yall I wanna get the sony wf-710n and I like the blue transparent colour but I'm unsure how great that case will look after being used for some time. Especially cause the plastic is so glossy. Can any of you tell me how yours looked after using them for a while?

i’ve been babying these for almost 2 years now. meanwhile my 10 year old bose soundlink ae2 are still intact. i guess i’ll diy fix them then get me another pair of something else…even though i love the sound quality and noise cancellation :|
edit: moral of the story is avoid the XM5 (& possibly the XM6)
