Sony never fails in terms of features and sound quality.
But fails in term of battery 😢
and fail i terms of naming their stuff damn...
@@le_bobski same like your name though 😅
My brother and I both bought the XM4 headphones within a month from each other. We were both impressed with the sound quality and liked the features. Just after the warranty both $350 headphones failed to charge. Now they are just $350 wired headphones with ZERO features. Both headphones were never abused always put back in the case and never tossed around left in a hot or cold car or left on a charger for hours on end. I don’t think I will ever buy Sony headphones again if they don’t last. This wasn’t just one and done. But two headphones having the SAME ISSUE at the SAME time. I think my money is better spent elsewhere!
* To make matters worse, nobody near me will repair “broken” headphones out of warranty. I was told “usually when headphones break people just throw them out.”
$350 throw away junk. Perfect way to describe Sony headphones.

Production Quality on this video was top notch. Been watching for years and can see such a huge improvement over the years, the graphics, shots everything just awesome great work to you and your team!
Yeah it's great... if you overlook all the mistakes. FFS does anyone watch these things before they are posted?
@@kidShibuyawhat mistakes?
@@kidShibuya you need to be specific
@kidShibuya I watched the full thing and it felt like a smooth experience. This is a youtube channel not a TV show. I think it's good
@@ComeId-hd3ey There are multiple small mistakes like he wrote "WF-100XM4" instead of "WF-1000XM5"
I love how I seem to stumble across really talented RUclipsrs every day. Subbed!
Great review, crazy that I might have seen you only once before. Great quality and fun personality. Subscribed!
Interesting that the AirPods Pro2 needed slightly more treble/brighter/alive sound. Having bought these I agree BUT the remedy is really easy to sort! Go into 'ACCESSIBILITY' these an AirPods setting. Once you've entered the Audio Accessibility Settings, go into 'Headphone Accommodations' settings and you'll see 'Balanced tone' which is the default, 'Vocal Range' and 'Brightness'. Set it as Brightness and WOW the sound truly comes alive. Now I'm happy with the sounds of the AirPod Pro's 2. Not 100% impressed with the noise cancellation though but I guess that was due to the fact that I had headphones with ANC previously.
yea over the ear headphones anc is better, love my Sony WH-1000XM4`s
Given the AirPods are designed by ex/current beats employees I don’t think that should be surprising… same tech, just re branded lol
Thank you so much for the review!! Amazing 😍
Brilliant video!! Thanks for the great review. I've decided that I'm gonna get em both, because they both play to different strengths!
Welcome back uravgconsumer 👍
I haven't seen your content in a while but I'm liking what you're doing with the format nowadays; very casual and it closely follows your channel direction of an average consumer, which is nice. Good job mate.
Judner smirking and trying not to crack up while saying "5 seconds is all you need" 🤣🤣🤣
I also used to struggle with the fit en comfort of the air pods pro 2. The fix was turning them upside down while switching sides, now I sometimes forget that I have them in😊
Rn watching/listening to this w my Sony WF1000XM5's. Got them for Christmas from my mom. Money is tighter than usual this year but she still gave me a very much needed thing that I have wanted for LONG. I love you mom. MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS
Happy New Years!
wild, money was tight and ur mom got u xm5 lol. is crazy how some folk live. merry xmas indeed.
@@spork297Probably a different kind of tight 😂
Crisp and clear review. Ordered Sony XM5 after watching your video and really love them. Sound quality is awesome combined with great ANC. Foam tips needs getting some time used to, but I am happy upgrading from AirPods 2nd gen to Sony WF XM5.
Damn i love the way you made the video, its too professional, great quality and edit, i also think all your comparatives are very good and objectively great
Thanks for the review bro😄
Good review. Seems like for every day stuff and casual listening the Airpods are the way to go. For more serious stuff and longer sessions (like on an airplane) I'd probably use over the ear headphones, as those should provide quality that that no earbuds can match.
Nice job on the review 👌
One of the best ways I’ve ever heard someone describe the sound quality difference.
I agree with your conclusion, they play to different strengths.
At work I would want the airpods since I'm being interrupted all the time, so having a great transparency mode and having something that meshes well with my macbook and iphone are things I would want for work. I'm not really enjoying my music anyways because I've got work to do editing videos.
Now if I'm at home, I want to listen to that new soundtrack, a movie, whatever new CD I just got, or I'm traveling, 100% I would take the Sony.
Great video. Thanks!
Listening to this with my wf1000xm5. Hands down the best earbuds. Great review!!
They are one of the best but not the best
@@Omar00Lso what is the best
@@andrewapodaca5767 devialet gemini 2...B&O and sennheiser momentum 4 are better than the sony
I got the XM3, XM4 and now the XM5. They have continued to get better every iteration. All of them still work great so there's always a back up. I've worn them for working out and hiking, they've taken a beating and still awesome.
How does the xm4 compare to the xm5 ? I lost my left earbud and considering the price of the replacement its not worth getting and may as well upgrade to the xm5
@thatoneguy9809 Honestly just go for the XM5 now. Much smaller size, great sound and fit and the battery is pretty good. These buggers are slippery and that's my only issue but after you've used them a while they get a little grippy. In my opinion they should have just did the soft matte finish everywhere. I use them all day at work and then on my way home i pop them into the charging case for some juice for my after work run. Sweat or rain doesn't bother them at all. I even accidentally submerged them in the bathtub.... don't ask... I forgot they were on... no issues
Would you recommend the APP 2? Or the XM5? I have an iPhone and am open to getting whichever is best.
@marioreyes6896 XM5 honestly it's great in my opinion
Awesome comparison man! I am going for the both too, lol.
You've got quite a nice David Yurman collection there!
I returned my XM4s and went with the Linkbuds S due to comfort. How improved is comfort on the XM5s compared to the 4s?
3:22 Nice, you took my advice from the wf-1000xm4 video 👍
Not only that, he reused all the titles too. Saved him typing a 5 instead of a 4 everywhere.
I have been using regular AirPod 3s, since I can’t stand IEMs, but I was oh so close to giving IEMs another shot during Prime Day.
The reason why I hate them so much is because they really irritate my ears, and I can also hear every step and breath I take, not to mention chewing when eating. This dates back to the wired headphone days, when things were even worse due to “microphonics.”
However, these days with ANC, IEMs seem to be a requirement. I was scouring around during Prime Day, and just when I was about to purchase a pair, I noticed that Amazon has their new Echo Bud 3s that revert back to the semi-open design (ala AirPod 3 style). And they are super cheap to boot!
I couldn’t resist, and jumped on those instead. I am actually extremely impressed with them. They are super comfortable, and the bass is amazing! The best thing is that I can still hear my environment around me when I’m out and about.
Thank you for the review, I’m a fan of Sony, I do enjoy the finder option and the transparency on the Apple, but love the sound, app, battery on the Sony
Great content bruh. When they drop to $225 or so I'm a scoop the Sony joints. My APP will hold me over until then.
Great quality videos and clear information nice but just one thing in 0:14 are those AirPods Pro 1 in pro 2 case?
I have both and I'm not sure which one to keep.... your right when it comes to music listening the Sony's are next level but for everyday use the airpods are just so convenient. Great video 👌
I’m trying to buy one I’ve a iPhone can you suggest which one I should get I’m a clg student I do travel on bike from time to time with music on as for plane I don’t I need it for everyday use
I don’t get it why is the pods better for every day use?
I noticed that you are using the 1st gen AirPods Pro in the 2nd gen case. Did you accidentally use the wrong pair for the comparisons?
I think we just grabbed those buds for shooting but all my comparisons were made with my personal pair. So all the info in the video still stands for me.
When's the back-to-school cheaper version
Dang good catch. I don’t buy his explanation at all. Exposed
Yea my man was trying to turn the volume up at 8:00 on the wrong AirPods and in the wrong spot on the airpods lol
Also noticed that when the pop ups in the video appear, stating the topic/comparison he's going to go over, it would say "Xm4 vs Air Pods Pro 2" not XM5.
Please review the WM5 call quality using the latest 3.2.1 firmware. I noticed a very clear improvement. In my tests, it is now one of the best for calls in noisy places.
One aspect you left out, for future reviews, is the activity comparison -- what do these feel like, how do they perform when you're doing physical activities (working out, running, etc).
I own both of these earbuds. The new Sony have impressed me more than any other headphones I have ever used. To my ears they are the best sounding earbuds out right now and iv tried all the new flagship earbuds. They are literally in a different league to the airpods pro when it comes to sound. It's not even close. Anc and transparency is much closer though and harder to call. Like I say the Sony's have absolutely blown my mind with their second to none sound.
How about during workout
Currently sold on the Sonys! Design is beautiful, but I’m curious if they’re good for running and sweat?
Why is this his guy so smooth? Making me want to buy everything when my fridge is empty.
Great review, i love how sony keeps upping their game! keeps the earbuds market competitive.
thanks for clearing up the spatial audio doesn't work on the iPhone
Would you recommend the Sony's for work from home and office use? That is what's separates them for me, is the ability to have my iphone and Laptop connected at the same time.
Definitely see why you have a a huge following. XM4 I just couldn’t seem to get a comfortable fit. Far as noise cancelling I thought it was brutal. Think fit was the issue. Just went all apple was android forever. Wow very impressive how everything just works. AirPods Pro are amazing
In terms of the case size and dimensions, which one is more pocket friendly?
Your videos are so chilled and fun to watch. Do you script them? I like to believe you don’t , or at least that you keep it to the minimum. Awesome job!
Truly what would it matter
@@mrsomniac It doesn’t matter. I just think he makes it look so easy, so casual and relaxed, yet to the point and super informative. I think he blends in research with spontaneity.
@@Marian1st. Fair
Love seeing Gunpla in your videos
Jud using those first-gen AirPods Pro in the second-gen case for this vid 😂
Day 2 with the XM5s and they are already my favorites. The ANC is even better than Bose QCII and Airpod pro 2 so far and I love that I can connect to any 2 Bluetooth devices at a time. Battery life is fantastic! The only criticism so far is the ambient mode is not as good as Airpod pro 2 transparency. XM5s are still babies so this may get better with some firmware updates in the future. We'll see, but so far - I'm impressed.
I got those Bose and am interested in the Sony's. Thanks for the info.
Do they stay in ear?
@ehabal-hanash2533 yes, I haven't had any issues with them slipping out
Thanks for the info. Haven't bought them yet as concerned about the volume control tap four times. Seems a pain. Have you found it difficult or did you find a workaround? Thanks
@@DanWOsborne I’ve gotten used to it. Plus, after tapping 4 times, you can keep tapping to adjust more
I’ve got the Sony WF-1000XM4’s. The sound quality is great but they are not very comfortable because they are so big in the ear. Anymore than say an hour of wearing them and my right ear is starting to hurt. I’m hoping the XM5’s , which are meant to be 25% smaller, will be more comfortable?
Hoping the same. Thats my only quarrel with the xm4s. They are way to big and I have big ears and still find them uncomfortably big...
I got the xm5 and telling u it's still hurting ears bro haha
@@som3ascope196 I bought em and they fit alot better than the XM4, I cant run with them but for that I have another pair. For biking to work and walking they are fine. Im pleased except that the price is outrageous.
Every buds i tried are hurting my ears at the beginning! But got used to them after 1 month everytime! If you are sensitive to that it could be a deal breaker for you unfortunately! The only buds that didn't discomfort me for more than a day was the Samsung buds 2 pro ! So little i could sleep with it !
I've got an android and am looking for the best earphones for the gym , so the loudest sound / bass possible with decent noise cancellation, are these the best on the market at the moment?
Thanks for making my decision! Convinced me to take the Sony! Can’t wait!
I was using the Soundcore liberty 3 pros but they're starting to fail. I was considering the XM5 from Sony but is it much of an upgrade in terms of sound quality etc as sound quality and noise cancelling is fairly important to me as I like my music to sound full with good bass
I really enjoy watching your review! The quality of your video and editing is top notch and I recived all the information I was looking! Also the space design is catch my eyes! Im not apple user and I always fan of sony for audio, now I have Samsung Galaxy buds first generation and for sure my next earbuds will be sony! 😍👌🏻
Looking to buy the XM5 and then a Z Fold 5. I think it will be a better combo than Z Fold 5 and Airpod
Thanks so much for the video. I have been torn on which of the two to purchase. I will be going out today to purchase the Sony’s! I’m subscribed now as well! ❤
Are you satisfied with that choice?
@UrAvgConsumer any chance you could take a look at the new Denon PerL Pro? They bought out Nura audio so this is a rebrand of the Nuratrue Pros but I can't find a decent review.
Do you know if these will get notification while using iphone
Are the Title on Video a Littles Different, Instead of WF1000XM5,
Nice review Video i am Confused with my choice type, tho i am on ecosystem side since i own full apple products
Didn't expect to see gunpla!
Just curious, are these earbuds come close to B&O H95 sound quality?
This was a very helpful review and helped me choose the Sony XM5s. ISSUE: they feel like they're going to fall out at any moment as soon as I start to move around. Before these I was using my Jaybirds which I got for long runs and walks but they have the winged nibs so they were always locked in. These are my first pair of high-end earbuds so perhaps it's something I just need to get used to. Is that the case or do I just have crazy-big ear holes? I switched to the size large nibs and that helped some but they still feel insecure in there. Any advice here? Should I try silicone tips or maybe Comply foam tips?
Totally normal! I had to wear them for 5 weeks before getting used to it ! Don't use bigger tips ! It will hold less !! Trust me i tried too!! And it irritates more too so pls reconsider! It's foam tips ! So it grips better! Try shaking your head ! Like hard ! And if it does fall you can stay with the size of tips your using ! (I recommend trying the smaller one to the bigger one ! If it stay still with a little it's ok ! At least if you don't have the impression of hearing the outside with noise cancelation!)
I've tried 2 generations of the Sony buds, and they'd be my favorite of they had regular silicone ear tips. The foam tips wouldn't keep it in my ear, and the foam came off the plastic one lining and stuck in my ear. I've never had that with silicone tips. I asked Sony about compatible silicone tips, and they doubled down on the foams. I returned them shortly after buying.
Just buy some third party silicone tips and swap them out
@@-SP. Can't do that with these unfortunately. These foam tips come with a net to protect the earbuds, usually in most the net is in the earbuds not the tips
@DrewLakebrink You should be able to get a cheap pair of Sony plug-in earbuds and swap the tips, that's what I've done with my M4s and it works perfect
Great video! Minor feedback: when you talk about design of the buds, I think there's more to it than just looks. For example in Airpods Pro, the stem design can somewhat help keeping the earbuds in place when I'm doing pinch or swipe gestures, while in XM4 I struggle to keep the buds in place while doing swipes. This can probably due to the eartip size as well but not sure, so I'm actually curious about how it feels now in XM5s with the new design. Hope you can add scenarios like this when talking about a product's design in future videos.
Your doing swipe in xm4 ??? It doesn't have any gestures with swiping !? And with the foam tips i never had them slip or fall !! (I use them 6h a day 7/7 for work cleaning and outside work ! Like i have done everything with them !! They are the only ones that never fall!!)
@@fireeffect6712it does have swipe gestures for next track/previous track. yours is probably a chinese knockoff or something lol
The best thing I was able to do to make AirPods Pro work for me was to buy some foam eartips. They have never fallen out once I made that change.
Yes but the Sonys *come* with foam ear tips. You don't have to buy them separately. I had to bc none of the XM4 tips fitted my ears (had to eventually get customer made 3d printed silicone tips for the XM4s but apparently the XM5s have XS tips and a different material so hopefully that solves some issues)
good review, you persuaded me to try the sonys,i have the airpods but not getting on with them, they sound a bit tinny and hurt my ears sometimes, they`ve also fallen out a few times, despite changing the tips.
have you gotten the sonys, if so, how are they compared to the pros?
Watching this with my OG Linkbuds contemplating buying tbe M5s
Are they louder? The xm4s were not as loud in my opinion
Thanks for this vid so many beating around the bush on what I really wanna know
How can you compare these 2 I have the AirPods gen2 and they suck sound like dollar tree ear buds I need bass and mids they have nothing completely flat was thinking of getting the Sonys or the beasts studio buds plus what do you recommend for the deep and mid bass lines ??
no AptX support? can you do 300$ plus earphone comparison i.e. Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 vs Sennheiser Momentum 2 or Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ
Am new to Sony do you recommend them
How do they compare to the Bose's QuietComforts? I am looking to choose among these two! Would appreciate your opinion. :)
Aaaand he gave in the end his own opinion with respect to which one he would choose/gave a conclusion. How difficult was that? So many contain creatures fail on that... Therefore respect, good job 👍👌
Great video as always. I really respect your opinion when it comes to tech so lemme hit you with a somewhat strange question! Money not being a criteria, do I buy the new Sony XM 5 earbuds or the Beats Studio Plus? What I really want is great sounding music. Everything else is just fluff for me. Thanks!
Definitely go with the Sony XM5s if you only care about sound.
I never understand why anyone would buy Beats - overpriced garbage
@@UrAvgConsumer Thank you so much for your reply! Really appreciate it!
@@BertiebearUK They were garbage for sure but I tried last year's studio buds and they have changed around things for sure. Much more balanced and pleasing sound than just thumping bass.
I love all of Sony's audio products, my last wh1000xm4 lasted me 5 years, my previous WF 1000 xm4 now have only about an hour of play time because they've been charged so much, how is the battery life for these?
I lost some hearing in one ear. Can I adjust one side to be louder than the other?
Love the 2nd Gen AirPods without the silicone tips.
Woah I actually didn’t notice the shape of your ears, even while staring at them, until you pointed them out. Super cool. What’s that called?
Getting both
Everytime I see a VS thumbnail...my mind automatically goes to the Voice Over dude from the Epic Rap Battles of History...."Who Wins....You Decide." 🤣
Hopefully they have a better battery in the Sonys. I have the previous version and after a year it wouldn’t hold a charge
Thanks for the reviews, I'm much more understand the ability of sony wf1000xm5. I don't know what to buy either airpods pro2 or sony wf1000xm5 but in this video I totally go for sony.
Thinking on upgrading my Sony M4's.
I’ve had the wf1000xm3s since 2019 and in the whole time I’ve had them I’ve only charged them like 6 times and I use them for about 1 hour everyday the battery life is unbelievable and they have never had issues
Why tf is you lying. You ain’t getting no sponsorship from Sony
Nice gundam kit😊
Great for movies and games!
I’ve needed to locate a bud but not a case. Bud location would be next level.
Can we have a studio update ! Hows it going ?
Love the Sony! Thank you for the review! ☺️
Great video. Well done. I've had WF and WM XM3 and XM4. While I'd love to have some of the Airpod conveniences, the music quality of the Sony's have won me over in the past. I'd go XM5 route if I had to choose. Now I feel like I need to try the XM5's. 😢
How long did your Sony earbuds last? I bought the Senneheim and was upset they only lasted 6 months
@@stevenm6453not OP, but I'm still using a pair of WF-1000XM3 that I've had since 2020 and still work great!
Own both airpods pro gen 2 and sony wf5, the sound in the sony hands down beats pro especially with all the customization, but the pro 2s features work so well. I put them on ik it won't bug out the app, or that my touch might or might not register, that sweat or went hands or laying down on my bud will cause a false register. I ended up just getting a EQ app and just making the pro 2s sound closer to what I want
Just got the XM5s to succeed my XM4s. So far the ANC is definitely a lot better, the stock tuning is more neutral and a bit more resolving than on the XM4 but the soundstage is somewhat smaller. I did actually slightly prefer the XM4s tuning over the XM5 but that's just my preference. The size is smaller and the tips feel softer, both are very comfortable in my opinion. Overall, maybe not worth upgrading from the XM4 unless you really value better anc, more neutral tuning, better clarity and have the money to spare.
The beats studio buds never slip out
Seem to be best of both worlds. I've got pro 2 but going to return them and get the beats plus I think
This review was perfect. Thanks for this 👌
Love Sony earphones, though have had issues with every pair. Going back to AirPods after my XM4s failed again this week
What about a comparison to WF-1K-XM4?
Does using the sonys on an iphone not work that great than using the airpods ? I heard that they say iphone cant benefit from hi res and that type of stuff
Getting the Sony's later today. Excited!
great video, i have the airpods pro ( the first model ! ) and i am an android user,the comfort on the airpods pro is great for me i can even sleep with them, but for extra options i want to buy sony
I tried both from friends and got the Apple usb c version, with latest update the sound is subjectively Apple for me
I have an iPhone if I were to get the Sonys would I be missing out on features that are maybe avaliable on a different brand of phone or are they the same throughout all brands?
Same question
With the Sony’s, there are no limitations to the features by phone brand/OS
I don't find a reason to use sony buds because if I prefer usability, I would choose Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for my Galaxy phone and Airpods 2Pro for my iPhone. I can tell with confidence that both of their sound quality is good enough for most people.
If I do prefer sound quality, I can just simply go for Sennheiser if I want clear and calm sound or for the Bose if I want more bass or dynamic sound.
I would only choose the Sony if my phone is Xperia.
I even think JBL has good buds as well. Sony buds are just a hype imo. Last year's 1000xm4 were never close to Sennheiser momentum series when I compared them.
I like sennheiser but their earbuds are too bulky for me looking like a Frankenstein specially the case. the stealth on the android side is the galaxy buds.
Plz plz reply which one more louder I'm really really confused between these two plz plz plz reply 🙏🏻😭😭😭😭
I actually don't like the xm5 design either the buds or the large headphones, I have the xm3 and xm4 buds with xm4 headphone and I prefer the design way more
