    • @CampusMania
      @CampusMania Год назад +2

      This is the first thing I did with my XM4! Those foam ear tips gave me a middle ear infection in less than two weeks of use because of how much they block your ear. It's made like this of course to give you a better ANC experience, but they forgot that it could give you a middle ear infection which is very painful. I got some cheap ear tips from Amazon that works perfectly with my XM4; sound quality is great and ANC is great too. After more than one year of use they are still very good and the battery is still perfect. I'm not upgrading anytime soon.

    Viewing your comparison about the call quality I think all the wireless headphones are reaching their limits about the sound quality from the microphone. Since during a call the bandwitch of the bluetooth should share between our voice and the sound from the calling we need soon a new protocol or something similar to increase the bitrate overall.

    • @PodiumTuningRacing
      @PodiumTuningRacing Год назад +1

      There is a new BT protocol that's being developed that will double bandwidth. Additionally they are looking at expanding BT frequencies to 6GHz which will allow faster data rates. All of this combined will theoretically allow lossless audio 24-bit/96khz WITHOUT the need of a codec so all BT enabled devices will have this capability.

    I usually stay away from all earbuds due to irritation of use after about an hour or more. I have great experience with my Sony WF-1000XM4 over the ear headphone and they are comfort and the sound is superb so going to this new set of earbuds mean that I'm gonna continue getting the best sound and comfort. They're so light, it doesn't even feel like I have them on and it stays on without it falling off when you're moving around a lot. 2 thumbs up for this beast earbud. Got mine on sale for $269.00 after tax yesterday from Best Buy. Brought it home, charge it for about an hour, connect it to my Note 20 Ultra completed all the step setting up and fine tuning setting. At first, I thought it look bulky, but when I put them baby on. It didn't look that bulky in my ear and the fit is just perfect. After 10 hours of listening to my music. I was super happy how comfortable it was in my ears. There was no irritation or discomfort whatsoever. I move around a lot lot and these baby just stays on because they're so light. Another great investment in my opinion.

  • @venofoz3597

    The question is: basically the right earbud is still the mother bud ("R" is red on the app)? Mono mode on the left earbud with Google Assistant activated is not possible for the XM5s then like their Linkbuds S? That's when the battery drain will be inconsistent too if some of us use one bud at a time, and in this case, the right earbud is the only usable one for mono mode.

Now, the model I am wondering about is the Sony WF-1000XM5 ANC TWS Headset, but unfortunately it is not sold in Turkey and if I buy it from abroad, there will be a service problem. I will live, club house..electro house..rock..I listen to all kinds of music...I need to feel the instrument, sound quality and phone calls are important to me and right now I am left without headphones and senneiser momentum 4 is about to be announced!!!samsun buds 3 is about to be released. ..so what should we do???

    Great review. Personally, one of my favorite pair of earbuds was the Sony link buds S.

    Whenever anyone does a test. Can you please tell me if the sound quality is better than the Huawei freebuds pro 2 (current LDAC king in my opinion). I dont want to have to return another sony earbud :(.

    It's my first time hearing about these codecs(?), Can someone tell me what that means? I'm really happy with these new earbuds from the reviews I've seen, especially the smaller size. Definitely on my savings goals.

      A codec determines how Bluetooth transmits from the source device to your headphones. It encodes and decodes digital audio data into a specific format.

    Damn, the ambient mode and and the volume control gestures are actually what I like the most about the airpod pros 2. which makes me even use them with android. too bad the Sonys dissappoint in those two categories

    I tried the Sony WF-1000XM5 but was disappointed when comparing to my old Jabra 85T. The Sony WF-1000XM5 haven't got a lot of bass, they're less comfortable in the ear with their foam/rubber tips (even having tried all of their size options) and have poorer ANC. I ended up giving the Sonys away and buying the latest Jabra Elite 10 earphones, which are about 25% cheaper but sound and feel significantly better.
