For full parts replacement procedure check out this video 😉👉 • SONY XB950BT/B1 broken...
If You don't own a drill , try to borrow one from friends or whoever , OR you can always heat up a small nail or a needle holding it with pliers to melt holes through parts ( be careful not to burn your hands tho)
Same fix method apply to many sony and other headphones with similar design .
Drill bit used is 1.5mm ( 1/16th USA) and the screws used from one side of the hanger assembly are 1.8mm perfect size and length for this fix . Remaining 2 screws are sufficient to hold hanger in its place !
Hangers and headband on the XB950AP( cabled version) are the same size as on the XB950BT & B1, perfect substitute ! For this swap you will need an soldering iron to release the wire .
Hopefully you can put your fabulous sounding headphones back into use with this alternative repair !! Happy listening ✌😊

@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

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.

@@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. I should have gotten those but I had the 650's and love them. I broke those so I got the 950's. I just repaired both and did a comparison and man the 950's hit.

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.

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.
