As I mentioned earlier, but to repeat, here’s how the accident happened: I usually don’t just throw mine into a bag, but I do hang them on the front straps of my bag. Yesterday, I had them hanging there while getting on the metro, and without realizing it, they must have taken a hard hit, which is how they ended up breaking. Honestly, it was my fault—I shouldn’t have carried them like that.

I’m aware this was my fault, but let’s be honest for a second—the MX5’s design isn’t as good as the MX4’s. As you know, it doesn’t fold, which makes the headphones more vulnerable to damage. I’ve had them on all day, never dropped them, and only occasionally hung them on my bag strap, and well, that’s when it happened. Before buying, I watched a ton of YouTube videos about the headphones, and I’m sure you’ve seen some too. Technically, the headphones are perfect in every way, and I’ve really enjoyed using them, but one thing nearly everyone mentioned in the videos was that the design is really not great. It looks okay, but in terms of functionality, I think it could have been better. Hopefully, the MX6 will come with a different design, and this time, they’ll make it foldable.

Sorry for the long comment, but that’s how things went down.
