Are you Team Sony XM5's or Team AirPods Pro 2? (Comment Below) ▻ Sony WF1000XM5 ▻▻ geni.us/SONYWF1000XM5 ▻ AirPods Gen.3: geni.us/Airpods3rdgen ▻ AirPods Max: geni.us/AirPodsMAX
No hate or shame CJ, don't worry man. To each their own. Coming from an audio engineer standpoint, CJ clearly knows what he's talking about. Everyone is different. Like what you like. For me it would have to be the Sony's, as I've never been a fan of the AirPods. But that's just me.
.....and I quote "With that seal, having a better seal now that sub base is more apparent and I can feel it. Be careful with that though, value your hearing, I'm telling you guys its one this you can not get back I am telling you" With that I am sticking to the Air pods Pro 2. Taking care of my hearing is why I love headphones....and for that I am sticking with the Sony M5 as an alternative.
I came across this video today which is ironic because literally just yesterday I took my newly purchased AirPod Pro 2’s (usb-c) (it’s actually the 3rd set I’ve owned but due to circumstances out of my control I ended up having to sell my previous two pairs because as a fully disabled combat veteran living on a LOW fixed income I needed the money) BACK and exchanged them for the Sony WF-1000XM5’s for three main reasons (in no particular order): Sound quality, ANC and battery life. ALL of which they (the XM5’s) DO BETTER and in the case of sound quality it’s a SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT over the AirPod Pro 2’s (which were my favorite earbuds of all time up until yesterday) and even the battery life is a pretty substantial upgrade going from 6 hrs with the APP 2’s to OVER 8 hrs with the XM5’s and for someone who uses them ALL DAY/EVERY DAY to help combat the severe tinnitus I suffer from as a direct consequence of my military service, I say the more battery power the BETTER!!!
Tbh between these 2 earbuds in this vid I don’t know which is best because the find my is a big deal on the AirPods Pro 2 in my opinion but the sound quality and the unique features on the xm5 like head gestures and such is a bit better in my opinion as well. It’s very tough so I always use both when going out.
Thanks for the video. Got the WF-1000XM5 couple of days ago now. Have to say the sound of music is way better than with my airpods pro. Airpods has the best comfort for my ears, but have to go with the xm5s due to the sound. Not too much bass compared to the airpods and much clearer vocal picture. Just my two cents :)
I've had my XM4's for a few years now and love them. Looking to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading but maybe I'll keep the 4's and wait for the XM6 :) Nice review.
I can’t believe reviewers don’t even know how to insert foam tips. I mean it’s their job and Google is easy to access for research. He’s just putting in the hear line that and wonders why there’s no seal.
It's crazy how many different opinions are about sound quality. I heard some people say the Wfxm5 have really great bass and some say the opposite. I'm a basshead first and audiophile second so my buds gotta have that deep rumbling bass.
Just got mine today. I have the over the ear sony WH1000xm4, and that headphone is spot on the best headphones for me. With this new eardbud version. I am counting on giving me the best sound performance for discrete music listening.
Hi - Samsung wf-1000xm5 v/s jabra elite 10, which one do you suggest in terms of Sound quality and noise cancelling ?And price is not a constraint for me!😊
I don't own a iPhone but coming from a Samsung s23 ultra been collecting galaxy buds for 3 yes own 2pair want to get the new sonys but which one is really gd on bass galaxy buds2 pros or the new sonys m5s 🤔
Ive tried both earbuds, honestly I can't compare airpods pro 2 with xm5, i didn't like the sound profile at all and were not staying in my ears, so returned them within a week...ive been using x5 for a week now, the only issue sometimes the touch control do not work and i have to put them back in case to get them to work
Strange, I own both, and the xm5s have more bass while having more clarity in all frequencies. The airpods Pro 2 were vary hissy and sibilant. They do have bass, but the highs are too loud and tinny, honestly a fatiguing and unpleasant sound, the only bass the airpods 2 pro have are sub and the xm5s have just as much sub with a proper fit, the only difference is you actually have soundstage, imaging, percise frequency response to subtle and abrupt changes in the music. Xm5's are like wearing expensive headphones while airpods are still comparable to their wired counterpart in terms of sound.
I prefer the Sony. I like how they feel in the ear, but I get why some may not. The Apple's just feel cheap and are not soft. They are far from bad, but definitely not in my top 3. Sony perfects this category though where Apple trys to make money.
Great review. Great great great review. I absolutely Love💕 the AirPod Pro 2. I literally wear them all day for work for phone calls the gym🤸♂️ and I Love💕 that I never have to play with setting or EQ

The Sony's seem to copy Altec Lansing nanopods 2.0

Battery drainage issue with Sony?
Which one is more louder plz plz plz reply 🙏🏻
I have both and Airpod Pro 2 is much louder than XM5 but XM5 is louder than XM4.
Airpods pro 2 louder and bassier
Agreed!
I agree. I'm loving the Sonys but Aiprod Pro 2 definitely have amazing transparency mode. I don't think it could be beat.
Right
Plus if your in the Apple ecosystem you gotta rock the AirPods they just too good
Technics az80 right there with them on transparency
Do the sony's get loud like very loud??
@@solarcj9313 I’ve only had to use them at 40% to 70% so I’d say they can get quite loud. I haven’t tried full throttle

Thanks CJ I’ll be getting the Apple AirPods Pro soon but will wait until after September for hopefully USB-C 😊

Sony wins sorry Apple❤
Got the xm5s couple of days ago. Awesome sound for music.
Bigger driver better bass period

Great points. They are great earbuds for sure I like them a lot
Which one is more louder plz plz reply 🙏🏻 I'm confused between these two
SONY VICTORY
I like the foam tips they conform to my ear and seal nicely
I've had my XM4's for a few years now and love them. Looking to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading but maybe I'll keep the 4's and wait for the XM6 :) Nice review.
Great video but now that song is stuck in my head 😂❤👑
😂😂😂 mines too lol
So surprised AirPods have more bass than Sony?!! Apple I thought didn’t like bass seeing as to how they took all the bass out of the BEATS headphones

On my airpods they cant be used if the case is dead. So even with 100% in left and right, apple made the airpods useless after a hard days work.

Been looking forward to this review from you CJ ^__^=

Been using the xm5s couple of days now. For music they are way better than airpods pro. Comfort i airpods win.

Love your vids, keep the great work!!
Thanks. Respect
I like to use comply foam eartips. I always get them when I get a new pair of earbuds.
Do they make them for the Sony XM5?
❤
Great review. Great great great review. I absolutely Love💕 the AirPod Pro 2. I literally wear them all day for work for phone calls the gym🤸♂️ and I Love💕 that I never have to play with setting or EQ
so we both have right opinions, but if they are different how can they be right?
What ears are you wearing...your the only human being says that airpods have bass...airpods is straight flat...drink much water..you need it
You might be talking about the old AirPods the new AirPods are very basy
The sony sounds more good than apple 😊
Managing eq you can improve the Sony bass but the driver is acoustics mechanics
Great Review!
Thanks
I like spinfit and i think its the 360's. They work very well
Thanks!
No problem! Thank you
It is the final product or a prototype m5 ?
Do these get loud?? Like very loud? How do these compare to the powerbeats pro?? I like my music to blast when i want it, too.
Not loud with music and bass is lacking compared to air pods pro 2. I regret buying the Sony's
assume you used some iProduct as the music source, so the Sony's full potential wasn't evaluated
The Sony really shines with the LDAC Codec
I used a Google Pixel Fold because of LDAC
