WH-1000XM4 Hinge Swivels as Same as The OEM XM4 Hinge Spins Replacement Parts Accessories Compatible with Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black)

Works!!!! I’m a girl (21) and I did it! Yes I did panic but watching the vid made my worries go away! Been broken for over a month and so happy to be listening to my music again!!! Good thing I bought the left and the right cause I just found out that my left one is broken as well lol.

I just needed the left side to repair I saw buying one swivel hinge wasn't much less money than buying both left and right hinges.. so I grabbed the left right package deal. Noting is my research that it was the right side most ppl had trouble with breaking. Now I am ready if in the future that right hinge goes and breaks on me, I got the part and know the moves. lol Well they seem OEM, I am glad the screw drivers were included in the purchase, the parts are so small, 2 small half washer size metal locks and two plastic hinges, that really look and seem inexpensive to make, but good enough(?) for their jobs lol The cheap yet very handy dandy useful screwdrivers I got with this deal, I now have to add to my small repair tool chest. The screwdrivers I think cost more than the parts lol installation was smooth as could be. It took about 35-40min, (youtube instruction really helped to take away any stress in this small job, XM4s are expensive headphones.. so ya), though taking my time still, so not to break or loosen any wire connections. Its altogether now.., looks and feels like new !

I've had 3 pairs of Sony XM4s break. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the other ones could be repaired so easily, and they were thrown away. My current pair broke a few days ago, which is when I stumbled across a Reddit post talking about replacing the hinge swivel. Most other sites that sold the part were only selling 1 side for about the same price that I paid for both sides on Amazon. I used 2 videos from Central Sound on YouTube to follow along for the replacement; they have one for each side since they are different. The left side was easier and took about 10-15 minutes. The right side had more delicate parts to disconnect and move, so it took me about 20-25 minutes. Only the left side was broken, but I decided to replace both. Both replacements were successful, and the headphones are now good as new!

Just what I needed as someone with literally no tools. Found a video on YouTube and was easily able to replace the part. So far they are both lasting well, although it feels as though the swivel is more liberal than before.

I used the grey set on my black headset because the shipping was faster. I bought both and was going to do both at the same time. However after seeing how involved one side was (i broke my left side hinge) im just going to keep the other as a spare for if the right one goes. The sound and anc did not change at all after install. The tools provided are reasonable quality as long as you dont try and screw everything down like its engine headbolts. Its a plastic headset, a couple foot pounds is more than enough. Just tighten screws till they stop then an 1/8th turn when you are putting them back together. This was not super easy but if you are good at diy stuff you should be able to do it. Part fits like the original did before it broke. However being priced at 35$ for the set of hinges, good quality tools, and a link to a video on how to install them you cant beat that. The part of the phillips head screwdriver thats orange spins so you can have that against your palm while tightening down the screws. The plastic part actually seems to be a tiny bit thicker than the original. So maybe it will hold up. Over all I give it 5 stars due to the kit's bargain value.
