**ALL models since MDR-1000X have suffered from cracking hinges.
Look it up, there's hundreds of listings for 3d printing replacement parts, instructions or broken sets for cheap.

Not exactly ALL models. XM2 didn't crack, LOL. But seriously, the hinges in XM5 crack by far the most of all of them. How there's no class action suit against Sony because of cracked XM5 hinges is beyond me.
FINALLY, I got the xm4s last year because the xm5s didn't fold, BOTH of the hinges have cracked in less then a year.
