Yeah WH1000XMs are a very popular bang for buck wireless set. 5 is the latest.
That said, I have 2s that still go strong besides the battery. 4s going strong for a few years. Partner has had 5s for almost two, no issues. All plastic hinges.
Not sure what OP is doing. Seems like a difficult part of the headset to break.
Nothing special, I just wear them every day and I have a regular-sized head. I also have XM2’s which still work, they have a more sturdy hinge design. Sony cost-optimized their latest models too much, the headband is much thinner than on the XM2’s as well, which puts more pressure on my head and makes them slightly more uncomfortable. I can only suspect they did that so they have to mold less plastic and save a few cents on each model…

Yeah dude if they’re 30 years old I feel like 2 “easy” replacements is … good.

The good ones are 30 years old. The one they needed to fix is the sony one, which was not specified how old but “modern” implies not very.
