The XM5’s are more like a brother to the XM4’s rather than a successor.
Please elaborate 🤔
@@jrjr7554The Xm5 come from the same parents as the Xm4 so they are technically brothers not successors
More like, non identical twins?
@@doubleh2002 you could say that
XM4 still rocks
This is the best, fair and most persuasive comparative take I've seen on these two headphones. The XM5s are more well rounded and refined but the XM4s have some strengths too. Both are worth their respective price tags.
tor baf nam ki?
>Learning curve for folding in a freaking headset??
>Pluspoint for the casing being recyclable and then proceeds to complain about The USBC cable being too short, because he doesn't already have hundreds of those lying around
Why would they have 4 mikes per ear
The comparison becomes a lot more complicated when you factor price differences in different countries. Here in Australia, the XM5s are $150 more expensive than the XM4s at MSRP, however, the gap is generally more like $200 as it's pretty easy to find the XM4s on sale. Seems to make justifying the upgrade much more difficult.
The same her in New Zealand. The MX4 cost NZ$378 VS MX5 cost NZ$598. A wopping $220! Not like the USD50 as in all the youtube comparison youtube videos. It would make the choice much easier.
@@simcaclub Same here in Thailand, I got an XM4 deal at around 194.22 USD, and the XM5 cost like 432 USD so I just went with XM4 since XM5 is a lot more expensive.
Yes, price difference is too large now. But this is a matter of time, prices on XM5 are way too high, and already now are adjusting down. What would be a sustainable price difference between XM4 and XM5?
Yeah in Australia as well, planning to brak down the price gap a little bit by getting 10% cashback and going through TRS at the airport
@@catchtheaman In Europe, in most countries the XM5 recommended retail price including VAT is about 420€; now permanently available for 399€ and sporadically as special offer for 330-340€, for the black version. This comes and goes, as special offers do. I guess the latter will eventually become the common price level, and with time going further down.
Finally a comparison video that is short and consise, yet thorough. I was looking for one that wasn’t half an hour long. You did a perfect job of explaining what you need to know without going into way more detail than you have to. Fantastic video! Earned yourself a new subscriber!
If you have xm4 keep it and wait for xm6
Likewise
And if I don’t have any? Xm5 is 200 more expensive than xm4
When's the 6 coming out?
What if your mx4 are stolen? 😂
@@lagado1lag it’s on sale right now for cheaper than the xm4
Thank you, a good honest review. Having only just upgraded from WH-CH710N to WH-1000XM4, I'm more than happy with what I've got.
Here the 5's are 420 euros compared to 240 for the 4's, so I'm gonna wait till they're in stores so I can compare them. My music taste seems to favor the 4 and 180 euros is a huge difference for two ostensibly similar products. Great comparison!
I have own these since day 1 (not all) - started with the Sony MDR-1000x (gen 1 in 2018) and have since upgraded to the WH-1000XM4 and then recently was gifted the XM5. Now hear me out, for overall sound balance (good across all ranges) - the 1000x still performs very well despite being around 5 years old now, but next I'll have to say the XM4 is my favourite - bass is so good and the overall look/feel of them is just perfect - the XM5 is also good but I find the fact that they don't fold in, have more 'boxy' cups and plainer design just doesn't do for me - granted the sound-cancelling is a little better, I personally feel the XM4 overall is still king although I do have a soft spot for the original 1000x if I'm just cruising for some songs during a walk. That's my honest review.
I did a lot of reading of user reviews, and tested both for noise cancelling in the shop. I decided to buy the XM4s. A LOT of users are saying the XM5 noise cancelling is too clever, so at times there are lags of strength and changes. When the XM5s are in the ideal situation, they do have the best cancellation, but when things are changing people prefer the constant amount of blocking on the XM4. The XM4 partially uses white noise, which I personally like. I had to choose between the XM4 and BOSE QC45s in the end, and it was a really hard decision. The QC45 have excellent basic buttons, are lighter, and very comfortable. For people with smaller heads the QC45 may feeel a bit loose. But in the end I felt the noise cancelling in an average office/shop environment was a tiny bit better on the XM4s, but it was a 50/50 call to choose between these two. Again, many users really like the XM4s.
Is it true the ANC self-adjusting constantly gets annoying? I read this as a big flaw of the XM5s that doesn't get discussed much. Reviewer said it's most notable in environments with random noise sources, which makes sense.
@@desenheanimesonline7521i really dont know about it, i use xm5 and did not notice any constant changes as they state in reviews
@@desenheanimesonline7521 you can always turn it off in the app so not that big a deal
i could of sworn u said this in a another video did u copy and paste your review lol
lmaoo I've seen this comment too@@teddybear33333
I bought my XM4's in late summer of 2020 and I've since put thousands of hours on them. They are the best headphones I've ever experienced, and for the price, the improvements with the XM5 are marginal. The loss of portability hurts too. I prefer the XM4's. I even named them, as they have provided such quality service for almost 3 years running. Thank you, Lord Chauncy de Philippo Marquis Jackson! Yoo da real MVP!
Do you think I should get these ones then? I am so torn lol as my trusty headphones of 3 years just broke
@@insertnamehere5615 The XM4s frequently go on sale, so for the only marginal upgrade you get with the 5's, I prefer the 4's. Also, I like that the 4's fold.
@@psychopompous3207 alright thanks, it is tempting ngl
@@insertnamehere5615 No problem. The 4's go on sale for $280 quite frequently. Whereas the 5's are $400. If you know anyone in the military, and you are near a base, the Exchange (store on base) doesn't charge tax AND I just bought a backup pair for $209. They aren't too frequently on sale to THAT extent, but the average price I've seen is $280 (I.E the sale price everywhere else). It's worth a look if you are near a base and can get on one and buy stuff from it.
How good is the ANC on your XM4's? Do you reckon it can block out construction noises like drilling and hammering going on at your neighbour's appartment?
How does the plastic feel for the platinum silver model? Is it textured or completely smooth? And does it pick up finger smudges easily?
Great work as usual! The review answered all my questions. It’s nice to have a reviewer you can trust consistently.
Would you rate the XM5's sound quality as better than the Beoplay HX or B&W PX7? And which of the 3 would be the top choice?
the short cable might be so you can't charge the headphones while using them. that's for regulatory reasons.
I just always left the paper insert in the case with the xm3 and xm4 that shows how to put them in because even though between both models I’ve had them for a few years I still like the reminder.
I owned both the xm4 and xm5. I loved the xm4’s and I couldn’t wait for the 5’s to come out and I ended up selling my xm4 to get the xm5 and I just wasn’t happy with the xm5. So I sold the xm5 to get the xm4 back. If you’re thinking about upgrading to the XM5. Don’t do it.
Would be nice to know the reasons.
Some of it is just a matter of personal preference. Other reasons are I feel the xm4 sounds better and better bass, xm4 looks alot cooler than the xm5. The xm5 kinda feels cheaply made. Also when resting the xm5 around my neck it puts to much pressure on my neck. And I haven’t noticed any upgrades tbh. And The xm4’s now cost $278 at Best Buy so it’s really not worth spending $400 for the xm5’s.
@@sedaberry Thank you. On price, they have started falling for XM5. The initial price is unrealistic in view of competing offers, including from Sony and many other brands.
@@SK-PODCAST it's not a bug it's a feature
@@sedaberry Is ANC much better with the XM-5s? Thinking about selling my xm-4s which are still going very strong a year and a half later. all really comes down to the ANC for me
Question: I live in hot Arizona so OTH earphones may not work outside due to perspiration. Any insight on the next companion X5 earbuds from Sony?
Excellent review, informative and very clear. Really like it. Just subscribed !
Thanks for creating and sharing! Great work, as usual!
Caleb,
Don't the XM5s run their calibration constantly, such that environments with surges in sound and randomized noise sources-passing, honking cars-make the headphones sound weird?
Another reviewer mentioned this as a huge flaw in how the XM5s implement ANC.
Can we turn off the noise cancelling such that when we turn off the headphone and turn it back on the noise cancelling remains turned off, or retain whatever transparency setting we last used?? XM3 and XM4 did not allow that and every time they were turned on they would enable noise cancelling by default. The older ones retained the equaliser setting but turned noise cancelling back on every time I turned it on.. please help
Honestly, I much prefer the design of the XM4's and after seeing that they've removed the folding feature on XM5's, I would stick with the XM4's if you want better travel friendly option.
Though, if you don't care about that, sound-wise, the XM5's has better sound accuracy than the XM4's.
Thanks. This was helpful!
Thank you for this review. I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Pro2 Earbuds several months ago after purchasing my 2022 Samsung 55 inch OLED SB95 4K television. I didn't like the way the earbuds felt and they sometimes fell out my ears from walking around inside my apartment while watching television. I decided to purchase the Sony WH-1000XM4 Black Friday on sale for $228.00 at Best Buy. I love the Sony XM4 headphones and the sound quality watching television and battery life is fantastic. They are now back to the original price of $349.00 at Best Buy. I realize, there is the Sony WH-1000XM5 for $399.99 on sale at Best Buy for $349.99. I saved $110 on the Sony WH-1000XM4 and this is a good deal. The M4 is just as good as the M5 and I am satisfied with the M4's.
3:00 This adapter isn'T only for airplanes. This is a "Standard". Most Laptops and PC's have those spacing standards even nowadays. So it is very important to have this option....
Just wore the XM5s on a 24 hour flight trip. Noise Cancelling was next level, better than ear plugs that I use to sleep. Cuts out a lot of annoying high frequency, and you can hear them adjusting to cancel noise
The bigger ear cup was very comfortable. Much better than my XM3s.
Battery life is exceptional. The case was a concern, but the tapper shape packs really well.
The only annoyance is that the headphones don't fold flat with cups facing down when you put them around your neck, you have to put the cups facing up.
Amazing upgrade to my XM3s and keepers for comfort and incredible noise cancelling.
do you know how to do the quick charge thing?
Thanks for the information. I'm also looking to upgrade my XM3 to XM5
@@nhaan4178me too !
Just upgraded from xm3 and it's nice. Time to gift the xm3 away or sell them.
I never fold them (my old 3's) so the 5's was a no brainer for me
Great review bro. You have covered what I needed to know.
Hello you are doing really great.
Just had one question-
Is sony wh1000-xm5 comfortable with spectacles/eye-glasses??
Does it hurt our ears ??
Thank you
Quick question. How would you say the XM5 compare to the 85H from Jabra. Would they be worth the upgrade?
I actually like the flat, thinner storage because I can slide it into a backpack or something with more height than length/width.
Xm5 arrived today, not only it is noticeably lighter than xm4, the noise cancelling is better. I tested on my Southwest flight this evening and the bass is just as good as xm4. My other bose headphones were made obsolete by xm5...
Hey can we turn off noise cancelling and does it stay off every time we switch on/off the headphones? XM4 always turned noise cancelling back on every time headphone was switched on/off regardless of what the last setting was used..
@@rahul91090 are you using the app on your android? It will permanently remember your settings. For example, I turned off ambient sound and slightly increased bass setting and it remembers my settings forever
@@csguak hey thanks for the response. The EQ does stay intact in the setting that we put it in, but XM4 would turn Noise cancelling on upon restart even with the app or otherwise (EQ setting are retained however). So basically in XM5 suppose I turn NC OFF, and any ambient sound settings off, it will retains it right? Even if we exit the app…? Also I’m using iOS, should that interfere/matter for this anyhow?
How good di the xm5 ANC block out plane noise?
@@bengalsfan42 not perfect, but I felt it quiteter than my bose 700
Today I returned the XM5 and will stick with my XM4’s. The sound quality was definitely a bit better and when I would first put them on they felt really comfortable. The reason I’m returning them is because for extended use they XM5’s actually started bothering my ears for some reason and I’ve never had that issue with the XM4. Everyone’s head and ears are different so I’m sure there will be lots of people that won’t have this issue
Most likely because you weren’t use to wearing it. When I have new headphones my ears hurt and it sounds way different but I get use to it eventually
@@danielpirie9038 used
Bruh you just curious that's just your excuse because you regretted you purchase.
Lol I hate this kind of people.
I got the xm5 and sold my xm4 to my dad. I miss my xm4s. thinking about selling mine for $200 and just buying xm4 again for the difference.
I use a pair of MDR-1RBT headphones from Sony that I replaced the stock pads on with genuine leather pads. Those still sound amazing and I use them daily, despite having much higher end headphones like Airpods Max and Philips Fidelio X3.
I have the MDR-1ABT. I know what you're talking about!
I find it entertaining that you think those are much higher end headphones, haha.
@@nightfly4664 I find it entertaining you think you know better when you're taking my comment out of context. I have much higher-end headphones and equipment geared for audiophiles (ie, Sennheiser HD 800) and am aware that the Fidelio X3 and APM don't constitute as "high-end." I meant "higher-end" in regards to their price point and that they're both consumer headphones.
The MDR-1ABT are quite high end headphones! I always wanted one when they were out but didn't have a job.
Is it that when the xm4 is in noise cancelling mode and your area is noisy and you get a call, the receiver can hear your background.
Would like to know how to go about it.
recently I bought the xm4 instead of xm5. firstly it can be folded easily and kept coz the mx5 inability to fold is a major decision. second having tried both at the stores for hours don't see much difference in sound quality or noise canceling. third having tested it out on a river boat taxi here in Bangkok / the noisy road outside here in bkk or the noisy engine of the local bus engine it's enough to tell me that the xm4 is more than enough - noise canceling is so good that standing next to a huge motor boat engine I can feel motor of the vibration of the boat engine rather the engine noise sure I can still hear the noise but it's reduced like up to 90% ...... what I can hear is a low muffled humming of the engine. sound quality? having tried the senheiser /bose numerous hours on different occasions with different musics and videos I can say the xm4 sound better the other 2 brand which people are always comparing to at leastto me. battery life amazing coz definitely long battery life ( didn't keep track but didn't have to charge it after a week of on off usage) .......fyi lots of reviewers complained about the xm4 build quality saying it will break anytime but the thing is when one spend this amount of money one would definitely take care when using it and I am OK with the build quality and never once hear the moving part noise from the band of the headset at all after using it for nearly 3 months.
I am using Xb910N, the same design with Xm4 but it's not breaking. That user is probably reckless breaking stuff easily and not handling their things with care.
kodaph oh I handle it with care and when not in use always in the case so the bud covering don't get dried and brittle later on.
I'm still rocking the xm2 and I love them... They have withstood the test if time and gotten serious miles. The call quality has always been a drawback but actually got better from updates compared to when I first bought them. I got my wife the 3s and she loves them ... I can justify getting the 5s because I do a lot of teams meetings, but I think I will really miss the compact form factor/folding storage. Can anyone help me decide? Price is not a big factor... Just want the ones that I'll be happiest with.
I personally have had an used the xm4s for almost 2 years now and would say they are an all around amazing headphone. if it were me I would personally go for the xm4s unless you could get the xm5s for no more the 50 to 75 dollars more than the xm4s.
@@jacksonreiter7237 I just so happened to pick up xm4s last week at Costco for only 280 CDN. I was still undecided but I let price win me over. Thanks for the reply!
You say those headphones' call quality is very good and you can make calls in the middle of construction - from your perspective indeed. But did you test the call quality at the other end? The main problem with all models until XM4 is that the audio from the microphone is being sent directly to other side with all surrounding noise and even kind of amplified. Is this better now with XM5?
I do have a question if I turn on the base feature on the Sony app with the xm5 and they Already have a slightly more balanced audio will it be Slightly better than the XM4?
did you find that the silver colour got dirty easily? i’m worried about how the silver ones might discolour over time
Multiple intercontinental flights throughout the year truly allows you to master traveling light and every mm of space in my carry-on counts. I've put at least 100 hours flying on my XM4s and they're easily the best traveling companion (along with a tablet for movies and shows). I can't justify upgrading to the XM5s if you already own the XM4s unless you frequently make calls when wearing headphones and need the microphone performance improvements.
on plane deffinetly dont recommend XM5's. they have auto NC optimizer and on plane you want full NC
@@RoMusic2011 can't you change it in settings?
@@thoughtrobot9537 No. You can google about it its issue that many people have
@@RoMusic2011 I googled and put the people are saying anc is actually better for airplanes after the September update.
Anyway there still should be an option to switch.
Thanks for the information
@@thoughtrobot9537 NC is better compare to XM4 but its not stable its automatically switching for example if you look down it will lower NC
Pre ordered mine after this review :D thank you
I saw on the specs they only have a 5gram weight difference, is that accurate or is it more since you say you can tell they're lighter
For Straight sound quality which is best...xm5, xm4, Cleer Alpha or Shure aoinc 40?
So the NC environment optimiser being automatic now, how does that work? Is it just doing it silently all the time? I never use the app on my XM3s, is that optimiser screen I saw in this video the same as holding the NC button down where the lady speaks and the various tones play? Or is that a different thing?
Either way, I wouldn't have to hold the NC button down to optimise anymore? If yes thats amazing as I end up doing it several times a day to get the best NC in the cafe where I eat vs. the bus to work and home.
Thank you for a great VS video. Which is less steamy QC45 or XM5 in your opinion?
I still have the xm3's. I have dropped them, stepped on them, used them to wash cars for hours on end. Use them 8 hours a day for work weeks. Still tickin. The only pain is wanting to listen to music in between meetings and repairing them. I think these will make a nice upgrade.
So I've heard that the adaptive ANC on the XM5's can't be switched off and it can be extremely annoying compared to Sony XM4's ability to turn off the ANC and turn on manually.
Is that true?
Thanks
I have to say, please look into the active ANC feature for the XM5. I found it is way too inconsistent and hope they firmware update to the previous XM4. It gets really frustrating having the NC shift randomly. Lastly, the non-folding design makes the case far larger and should call that out as well.
NC is the reason I returned my XM5 and bought XM4 again
@@RoMusic2011 could you explain more?
@@lethargic_cow XM5 have built in optimization NC so if you want to use full NC in noisy environment and you start to talk it will lower NC automatically. Its adjusting by itself while on previous generation if you choose full NC it will always stay the same

I own the XM4 and they have been my travel companion headphones since November 2020 but I just started saving as soon as I watched this video. The carrying case may be bigger but I think I can deal with that. The best comparative video between both headphones that I have seen

Im still on the fence with ANC....as a student, that is one thing i am focusing on during quiet study times (at home, in public places etc) where people's voices are of most concern....i know both are excellent at ANC, but i am not sure if saving that $50 with XM4 might make me wish i went with XM5 in certain situations where id prefer near to complete silence while studying....i cant even test both out in person is such situations so if anyone can advice to save up with the xm4 or to go with the xm5 and be on the much safer side with ANC???
If you are attending online classes,
XM5 because of good audio quality. If you just want to shut down the outside noise to study, XM4.
@@aubreybondoc thank you....I went with the xm4 cause of your very reason as I didn't really need much for online classes
Yep, I ordered a longer charging cord. I just got the XM5s less than a week ago. They are an upgrade from my old Bose QC2s. What a difference!

understand why.!!!!
Maybe someone can help me. I have the xm4 and was wondering if the sound is louder if you hook up to let's say a full sized stereo jack as opposed to letting them run off the battery. No complaints about the headphones, but I'm just wondering if they have less power to them to conserve the battery life as much as possible.
How about heat dissipation in XM5? My XM4 were so hot, so they felt like designed for ears warming while ice fishing, unlike two other top brands that I have, which feel just warm. I just could not comfirtably use XM4 so got rid of.
Have had my 4s for about 4 months - extremely comfortable - After a full evening of t.v. watching up to 6-7 a.m. most nights, I fall asleep with them on and am always surprised that they're still there when I wake up!
Should I buy the xm5 or the xm4 model? They both cost the same here and I want an overall good headphone for music/studying/gaming/general use.
I also want something that is more durable, something that lasts longer. I also don't really travel much. But I do really like ANC/Transparency.
I've flown on a brand new A350-900 with the company's newest interior but still had the double jack thing 😂
I used to own XM4 but i returned it since it was pretty hot and uncomfortable after couple hours of usage, do you think XM5 will much do better in comfort department? i tried & have no problem at all with bose QC 35 ii when it comes to comfort
I’m still not sure should i get XM5 or Bose QC45?
The XM5s have vents to stop them from being too hot around the ears
Same here.. XM4 returned...
Good question. I didn't return mine (XM4), but I have noticed they get hot and uncomfortable.
Get the wf 1000xm4
I’ll keep my XM 3s until they die. Then I’ll get whatever is good at that time. Great vid as usual.
I still have my XM3 and I still love mine. They still sound great compared to the XM5 and the battery still holds up good.

Thanks. Very useful for me. I'll be using them to block out colleagues' talk, so I'll go for the XM5
I wonder if my xm5 are broken. Mine don't block out my dog barking or other noises. Anything I'm doing wrong?
Great video and greetings from Cologne Germany. A crucial question: Can you hear your own voice during a phone call or zoom call, like with the Bose nc 700? It can be switched on there. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the Airpods Max. For me, the most important feature of a work headset. thx
no
Does anyone know if the microphone can be used for calls when in wired mode?
I bought Sony a80k OLED and I have AirPods Pro with me.
Will you please suggest me that should I buy Apple TV 4K or WH1000XM4 to experience 360 Spatial Audio?
Okay wrong question but right place, nevertheless I’ll go ahead . XM5 vs Bose 700 who stands better? I’m choosing between them and kinda stuck in a loop, I do have a Bose soundbar 700 at home does the ecosystem factor really make a difference? Thoughts and comments please, i’m looking to make a choice soon..
@@leeloodog Thanks for the suggestions, I agree with your ideas and actually I do use the headset daily quite heavily for calls for work zoom teams slack ( I use a simple Jabra elite 45 currently, which does a great job at comfort and long battery life 45- 50 hrs a week been using for over an year and half - just too good ) So i guess the call quality is quite a big deal for me, and that'll help narrow down hopefully, and with Bose being not as comfortable as we'd want may be xm5 might have an edge, but I guess you're right it'll boil down to trying them both and figuring the one fits best, I don't live in US so not sure if I'll have the luxury of trying and returning the one doesn't make the mark , but im hoping the brand stores might have them on display for trials ..
so guys - you can for sure help me out here. I am using the xm3s now for 4 years almost daily at work for 8-9 hours and love them but they getting old now (some connection issues and some material break down - which is normal) . SO i do not know if I should go for the XM4s at 210€ or the XM5s for 310€. Are the extra 100 bucks worth it?
I'm willing to pay the extra money if the build is sturdy. read so many stories about the hinges breaking on the XM4. But i'm also confirmation biased now I think. anyone can help me on the build quality?
How does the Sony xm5 compare to the bose qc45

I ordered xm5 yesterday and I can't wait to get them. I was lucky that i waited for one more day waching videos of headphones, cos' the price was 419€. The next day only 299€. Their selling those 349€ now here in Finland, except this one seller is offering xm5 --> 299€.
eine Frage: Wenn ich z. B. Musik höre und dann etwas sage oder huste, dann schalten die 1000XM4 Kopfhörer den Ton aus (damit ich mich unterhalten kann). Ist ne störende Funktion. Wie kann ich die Funktion abschalten?
Thanks for the review
Is the bass better in the XM5s or XM4s?
should i get the xm5s? I mostly looking for something else because my airpod pros always fall out while working out/ playing basketball.
Over ear headphones for basketball? Get a $50 pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo buds that will stay in your ear for that.
Thanks so much for the video!
Is the earpad size is same for both xm5 and xm4
Just got the 5s after comparing BOSE700, the 5s, and the 4s. I’m not expert and didn’t stay in the store all day but I could hear the difference between the 4s and 5s. The 5s are just better, IMO, that the 4s or any of the BOSE. Also the noise cancelling is very good. Only thing I need to do is learn some of the controls. Seems the the SONY tries to guess when to cancel and not.
I would like to know how they compare against Bose 700. Sound quality and noise cancellation.
XM4 is still so good. One of the best buys I have done. No regrets on buying them!
Did you manage to try this with Ms Teams? Thanks
Are parts replaceable like the band etc bands etc break all the time
How is it using as console gaming headset? How's the delay?
Great Video. Thanks!!
TBH i am really confused, due to the fact that I'm always in loud enviromnent, I'm looking for the best anc headpones. Some say that mx5 have the best anc thanks to the addiotnal speakers but you can't optimise the anc unlike the mx4. If I desperately want to shutout the world for study, what should i go with?
Please if you can - compare Sony WH-1000XM5 vs. BeoPlay H95 vs. Mark Levinson 5909 vs. Apple Airpod Max - especially in terms of ANC and phone call quality.
