Confused about xm6

I've been a longtime user of the XM4s and loved them. Although I'm not particularly an audiophile, I appreciate the sound signature. Being an Apple user, I've had AirPods Pro 2s for a while, but the ANC pressure became too much for me and I ended up just leaving them on transparency. Given my experience with Sony, I went straight for the XM6 and have been enjoying them so far but I've been wondering whether the AirPods Max 2 would have been the better pick. I tried them briefly in the store and thought the weight was well distributed, but I don't know if the weight and poor portability are worth the apparently better sound and Apple ecosystem integration. I do prefer to use my headphones with glasses on and don’t care too much about Spatial Audio.

Help???

A couple weeks ago the alignment of my XM6's got all sorts of messed up. The cups are bending every which way and the plastic ring has snapped on the right side. Any tips for repair, either at home or professionally? I am just barely outside the warranty window and can't find a local place that specializes in headphone repair, just general phone repair shops.

EDIT: Well it seems like I'm SOL but at least y'all's comments are cracking me up, gotta smile thru the pain I guess :')

Upgrade

My XM4s have zero problems. The sound, ANC, and hinge are all still good—if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. For a pair of $200 headphones I bought during Prime Day four years ago, they’ve been great.

I’ve been eyeing the Momentum 5s for a while. Anyone who’s tried both the XM4s and Momentum 5s: are the Momentum 5s a worthwhile upgrade?

best general eq setting for sony ult wear?

i just got a pair of these and i LOVE them, but i can’t tell if i just haven’t optimized my eq perfectly yet, or if i just have to get used to the depth of the sound. upgrading from beats solo 3 so the sound quality is COMPLETELY different lol.

so here’s some context. i listen to all different kinds of music. from like slow sad indie folk, to rock, alternative, emo, metal, etc etc. so i’m finding it so hard to optimize my eq to its fullest extent. i want a one size fits all, and i KNOW that’s going to be super difficult lmao. most advice i’ve seen already is to just change it based on what you’re listening to, but it’s so annoying to have to do that tbh, especially if i just shuffle my spotify. i don’t care about making each genre PERFECT, i just want an all around that sounds pretty good with any genre.

the pic i attached is the closest ive been able to get, but something is off. some music sounds kind of echoey? and weirdly distant. and some little background instrumental stuff is getting lost. is this just something i need to get used to, or is there any suggestions of something to change? thanks!! <3
