i heard from many people that the hinges broke on these headphones after long term use, was this an issue for u, and do you think it's something to be worried about?
It looks good, minimal and clean . Definitely light weight and great ANC. The reason why I sold it away and get a higher quality headphone like my focal bathys , is the sound quality man. As an audiophile , Sony should focus on improving their sound for the audio side of things. It doesn’t have the technical capabilities in sound . That is one of the important aspects to focus on a headphone . Other than that, good headphone for ANC, mic , comfort and battery. Great video.
These headphones are not directed at Audiophiles! They are for the mass market, those who want an engaging and fun listen not a neutral uncolored sound. That being said, the Focal Bathys are an absolute rip off for ANC headphones you can buy much better sounding wired Focals for less money. Who as an audiophile purchases ANC Bluetooth headphones for sound quality. What you have done is bought a name, the ANC is worse the “subjectively” better sound quality isn’t worth the money. They are not portable. I have the Focal Clear MG, that is a significant step up from the XM5 but it’s wired and paired with high end audio equipment. I have tried the Bathys, the bass can’t exactly be described as tight and the treble was way too sharp lacking the tonal balance of the XM5 for a relaxing listen while traveling or working. I own several high end wired headphones and several pairs of ANC headphones to accommodate my work and travels. I auditioned the Bathys and consider them the worst value ANC headphones on the market. I guess that’s why you are trying to justify your purchase in this comments section. You’re not an audiophile if you think the Bathys are offering you any benefit in this comparison other than a lighter wallet. Come on then Mr Audiophile what technical capabilities in sound don’t the Sony’s have vs the Bathys?
@@ThuderDuck saying you’re not an audiophile if I think bathys are offering you any benefit is not true lol. Usually it’s already known fact that most consumers use XM5 or AirPods Max .

It does … sound .. as compared to xm5. Xm5 is dark in the treble , the bass is bloated and boomy . Yes u can eq but it’s not that detailed . That’s my subjective opinion.

@@nurmbms90 congratulations on having more expensive headphones than me, I buy then based on the sound quality not the price. I’m saying that the Bathys amongst their peers are not good value, that something that works better as an ANC headset is what you should purchase if you want noise canceling and if you want a good Focal headphone buy a cheaper non ANC one. Because the Bathys don’t do Focal headphones justice in the sound quality department and they are not competitive with their peers in the ANC market. They do a mediocre job of the two things that other products do better for their individual use cases whereas I feel the majority of people wearing APM and XM5 don’t really need ANC, most people are wearing them in the house or jogging or walking on the high street where you should be listening to your surroundings. And googling 15k worth of headphones just to say you have more expensive gear than someone is pathetic. I mentioned the MG because I was drawing a comparison not name dropping stuff based on its price!!! I listened to the MG because some said it was as good as the HD800. I found the warmer sound more suited to my listening hence why I purchased them, going any higher up the price ladder them the diminishing returns are likely non existenst. And I believe it won’t be long before we actually get a completely lossless audio codec so am wary of spending in the next year or two on something else.
@@nurmbms90 I buy for sound quality, not so I can say I have expensive gear. Googling two very expensive items and saying you have them doesn’t give your opinion any more clout. Just makes you come across as petty. I have cheap headphones I have expensive ones I used the Focals as an example as they were mentioned in the discussion.
The ear pad and headband material is low quality which is what I didn’t like and keep in mind I am comparing it to xm4 which had excellent build quality
Hi, I have been trying to decide between Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the Sony WH-1000XM5. I have taken the plunge for the Sony XM5s, which are arriving tomorrow. Just watching your video now, has made me breath a sigh of relief on my choice. Great video. Subscribed 👍
Because i saw in many videos that sometimes i see white, sometimes grays and sometimes off white. Im literally so confused, if its exactly showing in sony picture so i would consider silver. Please suggest me the best colour.
Just got a set today. Ok only briefly listened to them so early days but TBH don’t know what all the fuss is about. I had AirPod Max but hated the discomfort, really annoying head band that rendered them useless to me but the sound is in a different stratosphere compared to these Sonys. These will do for travel to cut plane noise and are much lighter and very comfortable but if you don’t find the AirPods max uncomfortable like I did they wipe the floor with these for sound in every way, seriously streaks ahead. If Apple get their crap together and change that daft headband design I’ll go back to them over these in a heartbeat.
have one of those, love it... I have the Xperia 5 mark IV with 360upmix activated, ANC on and I'm in another world, looking forward to buying the WF-1000XM5 too
SONY WH-1000XM5 slips and gives way to Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra and Sennheiser Momentum 4. Simple Choice and 4 reasons why. 1) MDAQS The Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score results indicates BOSE Quiet Comfort Ultra and Momentum 4 are much better than the SONY WH-1000XM5. 2) Sony XM5 release date May 2022 MSRP $399.99 and Bose QC Ultra release date October 2023 MSRP $429. aka release date (age) and original pricing. 3) 2024 Holiday sale XM5 $299 and QC Ultra $329 both dropping $100. affordability as Sony XM5 should be discounted more because it is a year older than Bose QC Ultra. 4) On the other hand, the best audio/sounding BT headphones are the Sennheiser Momentum 4 release date August 2022 MSRP $349 and now on sale for $229 as $120 less. The Momentum 4 MDAQS rating is about equal to the Bose QC Ultra. Another thing: Momentum 4 just sounds better than Bose or Sony probably because of the 42mm dynamic drivers. The best affordable Bluetooth headphone which cost less of the 3 is Momentum 4. The quality is better than the Sony XM5 and just a small notch below the Bose QC Ultra. I own 2 sets of Momentum 4 headphones. Purchased Bose QC Ultra during this holiday period for trial/comparison for the last 3 weeks. Will be returning the QC Ultra because paying $100 more to get slightly better ANC and immersion/larger stage presence which don't really occur just not worth the money. Yes! ears get warmer with M4 but it compensates for individuals who wear eye glasses as in for comfort. Had gone to the Sony website and purchased the XM5. I really was tempted to evaluate the XM5 and compare them to the M4 and QC Ultra. A few hours later, it dawned on me I made a mistake, therefore I cancelled my order. After numerous review, RUclips videos, reading comment, going to Reddit, forums, Amazon, Best Buy, and other sites that have reviewed the XM5. I knew the XM5 have fallen behind and quietly bowed down to Bose QC Ultra and Sennheiser M4 for being better. You listen to different genre of music for pleasure as quality of audio makes it nice to listen to. As for BT headphones in this mid-level competition, the M4 has not been beaten or won over yet regarding sound. MDAQS: Scale of 1 to 5. 1 is Poor and 5 is Best. Anything above 4 is very good. for example: It's like college GPA as Provost list 3.9 - 4.2, Deans List 4.3 - 4.7 and President's List 4.8 - 5.0 Sony XM5: Timbre 4.3, Distortion 3.6, Immersiveness 4.1, Overall 4.2 Provost Momentum 4: Timbre 4.8, Distortion 3.5, Immersiveness 4.1, Overall 4.6 Deans Bose QC Ultra: Timbre 4.8, Distortion 3.2, Immersiveness 4.2, Overall 4.6 Deans Momentum 4 do not have LDAC codec, neither does the BOSE QC Ultra. However, Sony has LDAC but no aptX Adaptive or aptX Low Latency and no Snapdragon. The Bose QC (non-Ultra) are bit more comfortable than the newer QC Ultra, plus the QC (non-Ultra) have nice physical button controls. Only the Ultra has the Snapdragon codec which is an improvement over the QC non-Ultra. Sennheiser M4 do have Snapdragon 888 capability which makes pairing with Android phones made since 2021 more compatible and better to connect to. Last, none of the above mentioned have ipx4 Waterproof certification. Please keep your headphones dry, remove any condensation, moisture, water, and Sweat. Best to wear indoors and Low Humidity. Not for wear for any physical exercise as get Ear Buds instead.
sorry was not able to hear you right, because after 8 month the right side of my XM5 head phones don't work anymore, which according to x reddit threads is a common issue. Stay away
I’m still wondering which headphones were the best of 2023? I kind of miss 2023 already but 2024 we got so much to look forward too!
Minimalist looks, I so want this 😍. Great video Vic ❤
I know their are soooo nice
For noise cancellation & battery life it’s currently in 1st place. For sound quality it comes in 4th place among its competitors.
Which are the first three?
bose qc ultra do have better anc and transparency mode howver they are much more expensive
What’s # 1 2 and 3 for sound quality

Not necessarily in this order, (their flagship noise-cancel headsets. not earbuds): Bose, Apple, Sennheiser
