@theCoffeeRoaster Josh we've got the wired version, had them for 3 years, no issues except peeling of material (they're used every day almost morning till night when not we're not working full time but even then thats still 6-8hrs a day)... my partner's just snapped tonight and I've realised my swivel bit is coming loose now. Certainly need to try the above method or buy some 2nd hand for the parts lol they're the best headphones we've ever had so far
I keep coming back to this video to show what an exemplary tutorial should look and sound like. Straight to the point, relaxed voice, stable camera shot focused solely on the project. Everything about it is perfect.
Thank you very much for this!!!My headphone accidentally loose the swivel folding. I searched all of youtube on how to fix it and I'm glad I found this video!!!!😊😊😊
Appreciate the help . My headphones had a much smaller area to drill, but I managed it. I am really happy though. I hung on to these headphones for nearly two years now in the hopes that I could repair them when I had the time. So MANY times I nearly decided to throw them away, but I just hate wasting perfectly functional things.
Thanks for sharing. I already had the hinges on my XB950B1's replaced (for free) and they broke again. Just repaired following the intructions in the video and they feel more sturdy than ever!
thx mate i bought this headset one year ago for 250$ and sound is amazing. I was really upset when one year ago this break. Thx for the tips i will definitively do that
Mine as well. They use low quality plastic, crack so easily. Aftet a year of use now its useless. Never ever i will buy any sony headphones and earphones again from sony.
Thank you so much! Just repaired them and it’s just as if nothing happened. My left cup broke simply by my cat knocking my headphones off my bed onto my carpet flooring. Goes to show how cheap the plastic of these headphones really are lol
Thanks for this fix. I had almost bought a new pair of headphones before checking if anyone else faced similar issue. Glad that I did! Your video was well explained. I don't have a drill so ended up using a heated needle.
Hurrayy!!! I managed to fix them with this needle thing. Spent almost an hour, never dealt with such small parts. You have to rotate the hot needle in the hole a bit, to make the hole bigger. Now I'm able to watch RUclips videos again, while doing dishes and cooking, thank you guys for this awesome tips, you are my heroes!
Amazing solution, the best I've seen so far without having too much trouble with the cables... Thank you so much! I used ducktape before but the 2nd side got broken aswell, this saved me!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial, it saved my Sony headphones dead within warranty period due to this design weakness but Sony refused to admit it ....
Thank you so much. One swivel busted, used super glue (had to reapply it once). Second swivel busted, will use your technique which will be much cleaner.
i fixed mine within 1 min by using decent quality tape, did the other side too to prevent the swivel from moving again. dont even have this headphone for a year and it broke on new years thanks sony good design
Thank you for the video and simple to follow instructions. I've had 2 pair of these headphones break the same way and your video helped me fix them both in under 5 mins!
Thanks. I literally just bought these new today and broke the hinge. I was sick.. I ordered the replacement hinge but did this fix until the part comes! Then I will have to use your other video to fix them.
Thank you so much! This came up in my recommended (???) and I pulled them out of the draw they've been in the past year. Took 15 minutes and now they work perfectly :)

Thanks a mil for this I saved for a while to buy these because these are my dream headphones and I recently bought a blue yeti microphone and I wanted to use these to game with since they sound way better than my gaming headset with the mic I used to use but I don't need that mic anymore so I can use these for gaming and use my blue yeti for mic 😊
Thank you so much for this informative video. The way you described worked. Just little modification, my screw of MDR 650 short so I used another longer screw .
Real thanks for this guide, but little too late for me. Have same problem with my 950. Then it broken, fixed it with black iso-tape. 😁 But now, after 4 years of use, hindge begin to crumble in other areas.... Really bad design and trash plastic.
You will find many Bose, Beats and others on ebay broken in the same way so it's not just a Sony cheap plastic issue. Also depends on how often you drop or sit on these which doesn't help AT ALL I would buy another broken pair( plenty on ebay around $15) and fix it in this way and you have yourself a decent working pair of 950 🖒
@@JBR-RBJThat's right, but not then you buy a pair of headphones for 200$. My friend have a pair of Böse earphones. He twist and bend them and they are not that fragile. yes, I will try to get some parts, because I like the way they sound.
@@MaxZ_stuff if you want headphones with indescribable head band look at the Sol Republics. They are amazing. The head band is one piece of metal. They are really great as well.

@@supreme_handles3123 Hey...yes it worked. I'm using it again. The only downside is now they don't fold like before, but that's okay. I'm thinking I might go ahead and do the other side before it breaks, too.
Hi Paul ... I look for faulty or broken pairs for parts ( preferably required part intact) , usually 15 - 20 dollars'ish .. mostly on ebay Otherwise hangers on their own are rare !
I was going to do this but couldn’t be bothered. So instead I just put tape around the broken bit, worked like a charm, but now I can’t move the ear thingie around
Thank you so much. It works really well. Someone sat on mine last year at a family get together for the holidays and I didn't know what to do since. Was gonna buy a new one tbh but yeah I just did this and I'm so happy! I did drill it a bit unevenly so it ended up a little bit loose. All good though... even if it's just for a lil bit more, I am more than happy.
You have done perfect video my friend. I have done exactly same repair to my 950 BTs but I use slightly bigger screws. It holds Now better than before snapping lol😂. Anyway thanks one more time for uploading this video and now I can go back to enjoy sound of mine 🎧Sony 950 BT. Take it easy man👍
Hey Jaz, thanks for this video man. I have the same part broken on the right side. I found someone selling parts. Should I be buying the right swivel hanger? don't have a drill so it may be cheaper for me to just buy the part...
If you have access to a soldering iron and know how to use it then yes go for it buy the right side. Otherwise only other way would be to drill for which of course you will need a drill. ✌🙂 good luck
Its a shame for a headphone that still costs about 140 dollars to be that fragile. i was considering this headphone but after i saw so many people claiming that the hinges broke i gave up. there are many cheaper headphones that are way strong and dont break even if you force them intentionally.
Is there a way to get the broken plastic piece of the hinge out? I want to try Gorilla glue on the broken piece. I just fixed another pair of headphones with Gorilla glue.. Thanks btw, the video is really helpful!
Yes you can reach the broken piece once you disassemble the casing .. Mind you there's not enough mass on the broken piece for it to catch glue strongly .. still you can give it a shot 🤞
Instead of drilling take a 10 cm piece of electrical tape, tighten the cord and wrap it around the bottom where it would otherwise start to sag. Fixed and rotatable.
Jaz Syed dont have a drill :”( but i tried using glue which ik is not as good but its alright :D thanks for the video though! Gave me courage to open up to try and fix haha
That video is an excellent explanation. Sadly it isn't about sony mdr-1a, my side hing broke off and what really makes my angry is how stupid the ball bearing is, because it was made out of plastic, why not just juse metal sony? Of course this breaks sooo easily, all what happened to it was falling from a chair
That I would say wire damage 🤔 ... I would buy another broken pair off eBay plenty on there for around $20 delivered and perform this fix. Happy listening !

Здравствуйте. Не могу понять, в чём именно клей хуже, чем болты? Результат тот же, но меньше возни. Клей также и надёжнее, ведь не ослабляет конструкцию.

No it does not effect comfort in any way as the swivel function is only there to fold and store away the headset . Screw down for now so you can at least use them and in the future have part's replaced if you wish to do so. Happy listening!
@@JBR-RBJ Hey, I just applied this fix and it worked just fine, as you've stated above it did not affect the comfort in any way. Thank you for this helpful video. Big ups!

does this fix affect the comfort, because we sort of limit the movement of the hinge?
No it does not effect comfort in any way as the swivel function is only there to fold and store away the headset . Screw down for now so you can at least use them and in the future have part's replaced if you wish to do so. Happy listening!

On my 650's the plastic arches that hold the cups broke.. unlucky
Very easy to replace, providing one has an soldering iron
