WH-1000XM4 Hinge Repair Kit

This kit supplies a replacement hinge swivel and a U-shaped metal lock designed specifically for Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. It addresses a common failure point where the original plastic hinge cracks or loosens over time. The parts are manufactured by JoesGE and are supplied new. They are not compatible with any other Sony headphone model.

Single-Side Replacement Limitation

Each package contains only one hinge swivel and one lock, enough for either the left or the right earcup. The supplier notes that the opposite side often fails soon after the first repair. Buyers who want a complete, lasting fix should order two kits to service both sides simultaneously.

Moderate Disassembly Required

Installation involves opening the earcup housing, removing the broken swivel, and fitting the new lock and hinge. The supplier provides video guides for both left and right repairs. Common issues include damaging the fragile ribbon cables during disassembly or misaligning the metal lock, which can prevent the earcup from folding correctly.
