Xm3 owner here, I actually use the NFC almost every time I use the headphones. The NFC chip actually turns on the headphones and connects them, so I find it super convenient, though it may be less of an issue with multipairing which the mk3 lacks
Do you just touch them while their turn off?
@@rassundgade yeah all you do is hold your phone up to the earcup and the headphones will turn on and pair.
I'm using my wf-xm3s while i wait for my wf-xm4s to arrive back from replacement
I'm using that too. Super convenient. You just let your phone touch the earcups and boom! the headset turns on and pairs, touch it again and your phone bluetooth will turn off and the headset also turns off.
so sad they removed it
@@justcornerlurker Couldn’t agree more, that feature is just gold. Touch and On.
I just love your reviews! Not only do you review the products in real life, but you give us a good snapshot of places in NY. Keep up the good work! By the way, purchased the xm4's about a week ago. I was able to get them at a discount, $100 less than their original price when they were launched. I'm loving them! Even if I hadn't purchased them at a discounted price, I don't see the advantage of upgrading. I agree with you, not liking the fact that xm5's don't fold. Not compact.
bias in effect , its hilarious, like watching a lesser evolved being , l like a dog or smt
I love my MX4's. Yes I do 110% care about the folding. I love how compact it is especially when traveling. Love your reviews. Keep up the good work. One other thing. When they do revert to the compactness in the MX6 or 7 I would buy it.
xm5 better than xm4 on sound quality, cant get back to xm4 now
@@aqwandrew6330 I read somewhere XM4 s sounds better with iPhones. but XM5s sound better with Android phones.
Not sure if it’s true or not
I’m so mad I got the xm5, the not folding part is a deal breaker to me. Takes so much space in my backpack when going to school, ant carry it in a sling bag either
@@shimmya: sale them and get beoplay h95
I finally went wireless after all these years and went from a worn out pair of Bose quiet comfort 25's to a pair of XM5's. I couldn't be happier and to be free from cords is great!
Finally, I have been waiting for your real world test for a while now.
Best format for reviews, in my opinion. Gave me a clear distinction between. Xm3’s and xm4’s when I was choosing which to purchase as my first noise cancelling headphones.
Just received my new XM4s and totally blown away, the noise cancelling is superb and when listening to audio it is fantastic. I have the xm4 buds also, but the headphones are so comfortable. I do love the foldable element which totally put me off the XM5s. Your reviews are exceptional and inspiring
which one is good between xm4 buds and xm4 headphones in your opinion???
@@bm_9475 Hi, definately the buds. i am about to sell my headphones as I have just been given a pair of Focal Bathys for Christmas and they are so incredibly good, I cant put them down. Thanks
@@bm_9475 Buds are good for music and day today scenarios and has best details in Ldac with Dolby Atmos and apple music tidal etc(Both are good buds i prefer buds for music) and coming to the headphones I have xm5 i like watching movies and taking calls(calls 10/10) and movies i just watched top gun maveric those jet sounds were literally super sonic it's like your watching in Dolby theatre (Better than some theatres) 🔥🔥
Here is the real issue with these products after 60 to 70 depends on output the audio quality drops a bit(i mean bass will drop treble will move up) 60 or 70 is perfect volume it's good for our ears to buy while watching the movie i felt it could have been little louder in if i increase the volume bass will drop cannot feel those jet engines and sound barriers etc i tried the same with buds and watched same scene i don't have that theatrical bass etc on buds (But if you have never used headphones go for buds blindly) they are awesome.
Thanks for the review. Always enjoyable. Particularly like your format...the coffee shop and introduction to a new area of NYC. For those of us who have never visited, it's good context and very interesting. As for the headphones, I suppose the next great thing is always around the corner, but do we need them? I remember reviews for the Mk4's which rated them highly. But here we are, a year later, and now the Mk5 is the 'must have'. Perhaps I am getting old and cynical but at what point do we say - 'Enough'. The wheels of commerce have to turn in a capitalist society, of course, innovation is a wonderful thing and without it you would be out of a job as a tech reviewer. But I do wonder about the rapidity of change and how much we actually need to make our lives better? I bought a Sony Android TV a while ago. It replaced a CRT TV that was still going strong after 20 years. The flatscreen lasted three years before Sony stopped updating the software - effectively rendering it useless. Built in obsolesence. I didn't realise it when I bought it. So I had to buy another TV after that. This relentless drive to the 'new' which makes even expensive consumer products redundant in a short period of time makes me wonder. I am looking for a new pair of headphones and the Mk5's seem to tick a lot of boxes. You have given them a good review. But how will I feel when the Mk6 comes out next year - with, I am guessing, foldaway headphones and waterproof casing. And how long will it be before they are redundant too? We are going into an economic recession with spiralling inflation and runaway energy costs. At some point, don't we have to say - 'STOP' - at least for a little while. Let's make the best of what we have and put a hold on throwaway consumerism? I am sure there will be many people out there who would love to know how they can extend the life of their tech and value what they have instead of being sucked into here today, gone tomorrow - into an ever growing landfill site. Sorry. I know this sounds preachy, but it struck me that these headphones are a good illustration of the point. Best of luck with the channel. You do a great job.
This is a crazy good comparison between the XM4'S and 5's that I wasn't expecting from this but I was definitely looking for in general. Also really appreciated the segment where you compared the anc, sound quality and transparency. I've always heard the airpod max pros had bad quality but amazing passthrough, and now I see that lol
Chief one of best headphone videos and I don't say this lightly. This is the first video where by inserting the mic in the headcup, you made it experiential and then had us test the headphone mic as well. Very well narrated
Your videos are so good, keep up the good work! Thoroughly entertaining and informative.
I can’t help feeling bad for laughing at your bloopers every time, but your little tune 🎶 “DUMBO living up to its reputation” 🎶 is very smile inducing! 🤭😁
3:04 "This entire neighborhood is forever under construction"
Man I feel that. In my area it feels like when one construction project finally ends, a new one begins right away. 😅
Clarity on the xm5 is phenomenal
Finally, someone who's testing it outdoors...not just lazily reviewing it in a studio.
you forgotten to mention how light the xm5 are compared to all the premium range headphones out there. i use the xm5s primary at home and in office so not being able to fold isnt such a big deal for me. but having them on for hours on at least is very important for me. that being said, the better quality sound, better nc, lighter weight, etc meets my needs. absolutely loving the new xm5
After using the xm3’s for my daily drivers for years now I had to get the xm4’s once they became cheaper thanks to the 5’s coming out. I thought about skipping the xm4’s and going straight for the xm5’s but the fold ability and price changed my mind. I’ll Get the xm5’s when the next generation comes out because of the nuances, but I really wonder, do they sound much better to grab em up now? Decisions decisions 😅thanks for the content, enjoy to the fullest.
I literally just ordered a pair xm4 since the price was finally right .
No. They dont... Music wise XM4 are far better than XM5. The reason behind this is the drivers dimensions. XM4 utilized bigger drivers. Lower frequencies are more powerful and punchy in XM4. Out of the box XM4 are more capable, warmer, and louder. XM5 are just flat.
Enjoyed the bloopers! Lol 😂 “somethings wrong with that truck”
Mr Unlocker, you have our blessings, please continue doing this touristic product reviews format, NYC has so much quirks to offer, this is much better than a typical on studio review in my opinion.
One of the biggest advantages of the XM5 is the fact that you can EQ over LDAC. Other Sony headphones do not have this option, that means you can change the sound to your liking without sacrificing the bit rate or qaulity of the music.
Wait, my XM4 can do that too.
@@NightWatch0997 As can the XM3s.
The mic in the headphones is genius to show us the noise canceling
Love the format! Please keep making videos! Only complaint is I haven't seen many from you or Mr. Mobile for awhile! Keep it up.
Coming from the Mk3, I love it. Especially the multi point connections
.
just got one of these in white. it's GORGEOUS! not only is it stylish, but it works beautifully whenever i need it. i usually use my airpod pros when im out and about (moving constantly), but for long haul situations like a plane ride, train ride, or just a really slow day, the WH-1000-XM5s really do the trick. i don't regret not getting the airpod pros- i tried them on at the store and the heft was disgustingly prevalent and was hurting my ears. definitely will use them as much as i can- they're one of my greatest investments
Is it true that the XM5s don't run their calibration constantly, so bursty environments and random noise sources - passing by, honking cars - make the headphones sound weird?
Another reviewer mentioned this as a major flaw in the way the XM5s implement ANC.
@@ooooo5361 personally, i have not ran into such a thing- i typically walk around with music playing at around half, and my music is all i can hear. however, i have heard that it can get worse with time...i think this is true, as although it's the best noise cancelling headphones i own, it doesn't hit the same as when i got them lol
Love this format of reviews.
Loved the trip to the boxing gym. These reviews are so great. Oh yeah. I enjoyed the Sony headphones 🎧 review. 👌
I love the convenience of NFC from previous XM model. XM5 don’t have NFC. More expensive with less feature doesn’t seem right.
The folding alone of the XM4's is what sold me! Portability baby!
I love your day in the life videos man! Thank you! Love the coffee too 😂
Very cool vid. I liked your additional information and fun facts about the places where you've tested the headphones. I'm subbing
Thank you!
Hi David, Have you ever had time opportunity to test out a pair of Denon headphones?
I have the xm4s. I watched a ton of vids which basically said the xm5s are great but not to the point of spending the extra money unless u wanted the latest and greatest, a new design, etc. I'm really happy with these, and got them last year and previously owned the bose qc 45s- I prefer the sonys by a landslide. I will say i will wait patiently for the xm6 to come out. As now sony has seen the newest apple and bose designs & features, they have incentive to do even better all around with their new model. I would test out the xm6 and see if its worth the upgrade. Otherwise sticking to my xm4s. Sidenote, ive worked out in the gym with these for a year and have had no problems. ❤
As always, Fantastic Format & Finale, Fanks 😊
They should really make there names so simple and easy like… Sony XM5 or Sony M5. Something really clean and short. Folding headphones are a big deal cause of travel connivance. Putting it in the backpack unfolded is a real pain in the ass, although you can wrap the headphones around your neck, but its very convenient to just have it folded up.
Surely they'll survive a walk in the rain, so many headphones that "aren't water resistant" do
I really want to thank you for this awesome video. Because of your video, I am going to buy a pair of these headphones. I own the xm4 model however really would like the xm5 model. Thanks also for the microphone test. This really helped immensly regarding whether I was going to buy the xm5 headphones or not.
Is it true that the XM5s don't run their calibration constantly, so bursty environments and random noise sources - passing by, honking cars - make the headphones sound weird?
Another reviewer mentioned this as a major flaw in the way the XM5s implement ANC.
Great video, thank you
Love these style review videos with a little culture sprinkled into the mix 😊
I liked the review and thought the comments on the area places to eat and drink coffee were good and informative. Thanks.
Coffee, check. Gotta be the catchiest catch phrase around :) Just love the combo of NYC street life and tech reviews. Visited twice now from NZ and love that place, also took the obligatory photo in DUMBO and tried the local coffee. Looking forward to the next adventure. Kia Kaha brother.
Great video. Thanks for including the air pod max. Now I know which one I am going to get. The air pods . Thanks again. Have a good one...
What a great way of reviewing 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻 Inspirational
Thank you for the review! I just wonder how a phone call might sound like when you're in a loud environment, like, how you sound to the caller
That’s what you sound like at the end of the video using the voice notes
I remember crossing the Manhattan bridge into Dumbo once, and seeing a giant mural of a flying elephant advertising a dental practice. Always remember that when I hear Dumbo mentioned!
Hi, you always ask for feedback so I figured I'd finally leave a comment saying that I really enjoy your content/format. I like learning about all these different places and their histories.
Fantastic review. Thank you.
Ich hab mich für den 4er entschieden. Zuwenig Verbesserung und zu viel Mehrkosten. Ich nehme vielleicht einen XM6. Kein Stress, der XM4 hält ja paar Jahre.
amazing video as always ty
Folding is helpful but the compromise is durability and creaks that sometimes happen when you move. How many have broken right at that joint after a year or so? I'm just glad you weren't mugged for your headphones walking around Crooklyn without armed security. Thanks for the great review.
For anyone with the xm4's you can turn off the voice that announces the ambient sound mode in the app
Great Vid and Review David.. as usual. Call me boring but I still prefer the look of my Xm3’s. I just do not to mention the folding. On a side note… How do you find the Apple Watch band… thinking of getting the Nectarine/Peony version 🤔
I chuckled when I paused the video and read what they were filming because that's a popular series of movies but with a certain audience.
I think the folding is a huge deal if you use them outside/traveling. But if they're to stay in your office or living room, it's fine.
With that, they're not for me. Give me fold please 😂
bro holding it like he passing a joint in the thumbnail lmfaoo
When shopping for over ear headphones, this episode provides the 'Sonar' for the best to buy
Thanks !
I tried both the XM4 and XM5 at best buy. And he is right the sound is identical. BUT. For my big eared people (such as myself 🖐), YOUR EARS MAY TOUCH THE SPEAKERS ON THE XM5'S. (I don't know about y'all but for me this is a HUGE deal), as I wear headsets all the time. I do not like my ears touching the drivers whatsoever, and ik some people don't either. So make sure you try them out at a store!
Got the XM4s at the end of December and absolutely love them, can’t imagine these being even better!
xm5 is a lot better thab xm4 on sound signature
the end oh god 😂😂
there’s definitely something wrong with that truck.
I've had my M2's for years now and looking for an upgrade. Still great sounding headphones so I'm really excited to update my headphones with something new
No neutral position on NC/Ambient buttom is a big "no, no" for me. NC always is distorting sound so It would be nice to be able switch all this NC or AMB electronic off and just listen to the music. By the way Xm5 have smaller drivers then XM3 and XM4 and this can be heard. I am not a particulary fan of this model. Oh, well we will wait for XM6, I guess. :-)
I started with the XM4 and then downgraded to the XM3 as I felt they sounded better. Then I tried the XM5 without realizing at first they only had 30mm drivers. Sticking with my XM3s for now as I feel they are the best of the 3.
Are there NO water resistant HEADphones?! Only ear buds?? Why!?
I see your channel only for these vlog like well formatted video. I have made many purchase decision based on your vlog
The xm4 has more noise canceling than the vast majority will ever need. I also like the folding.
I’ve been between the XM4s and the AirPod Max’s. So far the XM4s seem to be good for the price because I care about portability and battery while the Max’s don’t seem to turn of
Tried XM5's for two days and returned them, went back to XM4. New ones have auto NC optimizer which still hasn't been fixed. XM4 the best headphones because you choose how much NC you want and it stays like that. XM5's not recommended!
I am not really into headphones because I am aware of potential hearing loss if caution isn't exercised and once you lose your hearing its a done deal because you will not get it back. I do however own four of them. Among them are the Sennheiser PXC 550-II and a couple of weeks ago I purchased the XM5 to see what the buzz is about. They are nice and I do like them a lot. I don't like the app though. I also purchased the Sony NS7 neckband speakers as an alternative to wearing headphones constantly. Now those I really like a lot. They are way better than I thought they would be and I consider them money well spent. The sound is excellent and something different if you've never experienced them before.
SIR if the headphones is good it's possible sony sell the replaceable earcushions? (main problem of headphones in long term like always wear and tear and ugly)
How do you clean the xm5 earphone without damaging the soft material like when I’m sweating around the ears
What about the cheap flimsy plastic feeling of the XM5 ? They do not feel like they will last long.
Have you had the chance to test a pair of Denons yet?
If you're in a video conference, would you be able to hear yourself speak even with ANC on?
These are very tempting, but I just hoped SONY made these more portable, since my backpack is already filled with textbooks and a laptop or tablet depending on the day....Since the older style of case fitted perfectly on top of my charger/powerbank pouch, I guess I'll just get the XM4s whenever they go on discount....
All the screen shots show iPhone. Did you do any testing using LDAC and 24bit tracks?
Can you turn off all of the voices from the headphones even when it's connected to multiple devices ?
My neighbors horribly plays loudspeakers at middle of night. Often I have to suffer the nonsense, disrupting my sleep and next day schedule. Will ANC help? I don't want to call cops or start a noise war.
Xm4 user, always use the NFC to start and pair it to the phone, so easy.
Xm5 user, literally use the on button to turn it on and it’s paired.. yay?
How's battery life on the XM5?
How if you train with them? Sweat and so?
I'd disagree with the point about NFC, I thought it was ashame they removed NFC from the M5s, I used it on the M3 to pair it with my phone, so it is for sure a very useful feature to me.
You use it once and that's it. Why do you need a dedicated peice of NFC hardware for a one time thing that you won't ever use really? I like NFC as well but this use case does seem like a waste 🤷♂️
What microphone did you use?
if you choose between Bose 700 or Sony XM5 comes in sound quality/comfort quality/build quality/features/app what you will choose & why please?
Awesome video 🔥
Thank you!!
i downloaded the headphone sony app but it keeps on saying that no network available.. i already restarted my phone .. has anyone encountered this?
Another sonys premium headphones and beardy tech guy. I don't own ones yet. i have looking for sonys hear series. I use glasses so sound wil leak.
I Prefer and Like The Voice Prompts of the XM4 should be and voice prompts could be option in the headphone app option YES Sony
So, you took the advise to test ANC devices, lol, well this one's makes the MK4 cheaper as you said, so it's hard to think of it like a value option but adding some features and taking out the chatty notifications is good.
Regardless, as always, video liked.
I'd like longer headphones rather than balled headphones, my bag is like a laptop bag so i can just slide it in
Confused between Marshal and these!! Help
Is it better than apple headphone? Aoudio and base which is better apple or sony
Do xm5s have a physical bass like xm4s? Or is it audible bass we get in mid range headphones because they have smaller 30mm drivers compared to xm4s.
What's the song you are listening to under the bridge?
Still got the original but u like the style update
I still love the history lessons👍🏻
I gotta buy
Why did they remove NFC pairing , i use it all the time
The names of these headphones though 🤦🏻♂️
what's the name of background music at 2:51? Thanks in Advance !
And still there is one function they still do not understand. I want to charge them while I use them and why can we not use the USB-c cable to use the headphones? Why do I have to connect through an app on my phone to update the firmware? Sony needs to review and revise their ways to innovate these headphones.
Still rocking my xm4
the sound quality from both the max and xm5 are crazy but the sonys sound better.
