The hard plastic touches my ear and is starting to cause a blister after about 100 hours of wearing them over the last 2 months

TERRIBLE quality plastic

Nice sound, but where the earphone rotates is a plastic piece which easily broke.

The joint cracked way too easily, plastic is flimsy, but sound quality is good for price point.

I am now going to keep trying to breathe life into these headphones because the sound quality is actually top notch, but the way its built, and the cheap plastic makes it impossible to use

and I even bought a case for them unfortunately within a month some of the paint was already starting to peel off and by 9 months the extremely cheap plastic had broken in two places leaving my headphone unusable and out $

Twice I bought these headphones and twice the cheap plastic connecting the ear pieces to the headband broke.

Ummm I paid good money for this and the cheap plastic broke

Each earphone is held on by a flimsy plastic swivel, which becomes fatigued and breaks after a few months of use

Great sound and long battery life but the plastic for the piece that holes the band to the hear pieces cracks under normal wear.

What really frustrates me about the product is that they are $200 and the housing appears to be made of incredibly cheap and fragile plastic that breaks under any kind of small force

But they are made out of cheap plastic and within like 6 months they fell apart.

The part that supports the speakers are made of cheap plastic

One of the best headphones I've ever used, but the plastic is really weak

It's really unfortunate that Sony made a great sounding set of headphones, but decided to construct them out the cheapest plastic possible

The plastic that holds the ears together is really cheap and weak, avoid these headphones at all cost.

I had the same issues as a lot of people: the swivel piece and bracket around each earcup is very cheap plastic and broke on me

This was a first for me as the older model that doesn't have have the voice over battery notification felt like a better quality plastic being used as I held both of them in my hands and noticed the 2017 model felt like a lighter cheaper plastic, so I should have

The inside speaker is made out of very hard plastic (which I think is really weird)

The hinge is made of cheap plastic, at an area of high stress, no less

I purchased this less than 1 year ago, and the plastic that connects the over-ear housing to the headband has cracked and broken on both sides

The plastic that connect the ear cups to the head band is weak and although only one side is cracked and broken, the other side is showing small cracks as well

Happened to 2 PAIRs I owned and is a very common problem as the rotating joint of headphones is cheap plastic.

The sound quality is great with the bass boost, but the left speaker completely detached and there is no way to fix it, since the weak plastic snapped

I do not understand why a company would make an expensive product out of brittle plastic

The sound is great, but the structure of the build compromised to the cheap plastic

The audio quality and what not was fine but the damn plastic pivots on the actual ear piece were fragile as hell and ended up breaking after only a few months of use

Should be reinforced with metal or harder plastic

This was a first for me as the older model that doesn't have have the voice over battery notification felt like a better quality plastic being used as I held both of them in my hands and noticed the 2017 model felt like a lighter cheaper plastic, so I should have

Do not buy, as they will break after the warranty period is over, and Sony doesn't care that they are selling defective products.

There are other headphones that not only sound better, but are cheaper and won't break nearly as often as this pair does

It is my husband’s first pair of “Sony” headphones thinking it would be of quality but seeing same incident with other’s purchases, really not worth it.

n’t break again, and a big thanks to Sony for standing by their products!TL

Right about week 2 I no longer had to adjust the cans, the foam formed to my head, and that allowed for a very noise free listening experience.

The foam isn't the softest I have had on but are still well made enough to have very long wear.

Great!I like everything about it...
