The Sony WH-1000XM5 were released on May 20 2022. Over-the-ear headphones, noise cancelling headphones by Sony.

Is it possible to repair/replace a cracked swivel hinge?

The bottom half of my swivel hinge on the WH1000XM5s recently cracked, and is now on the verge of splitting in half. Is there anything I can do (can't afford to replace these just yet), or should I just get a new pair?

It looks like this is a common problem (see 1 and 2), you can search for replacement hinges on ecommerces (AE, ebay etc...) and look at videos disassembly/repair like this and posts
