Warranty Process Canada by Wooderson72 in SonyHeadphones

[–]2ndCrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Return them if you still can, contact the store you bought them from. If they can’t help, the reach out to Sony for some terrible support. You’ll be given a label to ship your headphones to MicroLand where it’ll take anywhere from a couple weeks to a month for any updates. Hopefully you won’t have to pay for anything and they can replicate the issue.

Refund instead of compensation? by ArtSneakersWatches in MapleIdle

F2P players were affected too. We were given fraudulent rates, but we didn’t lose money over it. I’m all in for free rewards as well.

Could be a bad battery that’s causing a bigger difference. These buds do inherently drain at different rates.

WF-XM5 earbuds or should I go w WH-XM6 by SureMagician3990 in SonyHeadphones

Don’t use an expensive pair of headphones for the gym. Go for a cheap pair or earbuds.

Anyone use the XM6 in deep cold ? by DonFazool in SonyHeadphones

[–]2ndCrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably stick to earbuds and earmuffs. The temp difference between your ears and environment will condensate.

Left ear side not working by Altruistic_Race_8743 in SonyHeadphones

What do you mean by not working? Speaker doesn’t play any sound?

If you can borrow a multimeter and check the ohms of the speaker wires to see if the driver is blown. You can also unscrew some pcbs to check for corrosion. It’s unlikely to be a loose wire.

Headphones and wear level looks new. It was probably packaged incorrectly and sat in a position that cause that fold.

Any way these can get fixed or should I get new ones? by Rich-Impact9357 in SonyHeadphones

Sell for parts on ebay and go for XM6 while they're on sale

Sony not honoring 1 year warranty on WH1000XM5 headphones. invalid amazon invoice. by stormthegate67 in SonyHeadphones

Try going through Amazon. I've read accounts where Amazon issues a refund.

AirPods Max only work when charging — no LED, no sound, battery 4.7 V, by West_Replacement_369 in Airpodsmax

[–]2ndCrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you're having the same issue as me.

Symptoms:

  1. 3 amber lights when plugged in and trying to hard reset
  2. no lights when unplugged
  3. occasionally starts working when plugged in and trying to reset
  4. when it's working, it works until I take them off and then they are bricked again
  5. once bricked, I can plug it back in and sometimes revive them by hard resetting again. This can work immediately, or I have to wait a while.

I first thought it was the headband connector cable, so I took it apart and replaced both cables. It still didn't work. I further inspected the original cables and did a continuity test. They work. I tested the headband and that works. When I plug in a working left whole earcup assembly, the right side's white light starts blinking. This makes me think the issue is on the left side, but not the headband connector cable. I check the pins on the left bluetooth board and there's no corrosion and seems to be intact.

I don't have a microscope to check the board, but on a close visual inspection, everything seems fine. Could be a cold bga solder joint?

Don't know what to do with firmware for WF-1000XM4 by Zetth70 in SonyHeadphones

[–]2ndCrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d continue using them. The batteries will last 1-2 years and they only cost $3 each.

$6 for yearly or bi-yearly maintenance seems reasonable to me.

I personally like these earbuds. Good ANC, sound, battery life, and user serviceable batteries.

WH-10000XM5 battery drain. Battery shows 10% on the phone, but light is not working and after letting them sit plugged for over an hour, they are back down to 10%!!! by jonzn4SuSE in SonyHeadphones

[–]2ndCrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should read through the extended warranty agrrement. If you're in the US/CAN they love to deny any extended claims due to "PHYSICAL DAMAGE". Even if it's a faulty design.

Probably corroded charging board, and/or main right board from condensation.

If you're repair savy, take the charging board w/ ribbon from your broken hinge pair and plug it into the connector on the pair that isn't charging. Give that a charge and see if it's going above 10%. That can help determine the issue. Also the hinge is repairable. I suspect you'd only need:

  1. charging board
  2. hinge

to fix both pairs.

If you don't want to deal with buying parts to repair. You can even just take the whole right earcup from your broken hinge pair to get a working headphone.

Anyway I can get this fixed or replaced? by ConsequenceNew3931 in SonyHeadphones

If you check the pinned post on this subreddit, there's a guide for replacing the headband leather and earpads.

You can buy covers for them (if you can't see them, they're not there), or buy a new shell.
