Are they worth it? Bose QC Ultra vs. Sony WF-1000XM5 ultimate comparison!

[@jakemixd]

I have both. I love bose all the way.

[@sleepyrhythms6668]

Did yours have a static issue in the left earbud?

[@MentalMoor]

@@sleepyrhythms6668want to know this as well

[@edteach3r]

Great comparison, thank you. Just ordered the Bose.

[@elijahfrancis2520]

After years of trial and error with all kinds of earbuds I've finally settled with the quiet comfort ultras. The stability bands didn't work at first and I almost returned the Bose until I discovered a different way to put them in. For me I have to angle the bands up into my ear first and gently twist forward until they feel snug, THEN gently push the ear tip into my canal. They never fall out.

[@JohnScottB]

Glad you found something that works for you!

[@edteach3r]

That is good to know, Elijah. Thank you. My Bose buds are on the way and I was worried that they might not fit properly as I have struggled with earbuds in the past.

[@Thorzim]

Amazing review. Very deailed and well explained. Nicely done!

[@sivzmusic_official]

This was a really great and helpful review. Thanks!

[@bryllecortes9780]

RIght now, I don't trust the XM5's because of my XM4 experience. Right now I feel betrayed by Sony because of the battery issue from XM4. Bose is the best option for me right now.

[@strangelandian]

I'm in the same boat. I've gone through two xm4s so I'm getting ready to buy Bose but I keep hearing the Bose have connection issues. Smh why is there so many drawbacks with every earbud.

[@evolution5052]

Every fucking comment is like , i have both and i love bose....i have tried both and i love bose ....i have exchanged sony's with bose and i love bose ..... This is definitely a kind of marketing...i mean every fucking comment loves bose

[@Steven-qi4gm]

I’m here for the same reason. Right bud on the xm4 last 30mins and song refusing to fix or replace at their cost. I just want some decent sounding buds for gym/flights that actually last longer than a year or 2.

[@evolution5052]

@@Steven-qi4gm how long have you used them ?

[@Steven-qi4gm]

@@evolution5052 2 years. One bud has 70% when the other has already died. I loved the sound of them but they shouldn’t be useless after 2 years. My fight with Sony is still on going with this.

[@theneone111]

Thank you 👍

[@erkanvural3621]

great review. thanks. I bought XM5 but no matter how hard I tried never fit my big ears. with spinfit and AZLA as well so gave away thinking of buying between Bose or Sennheiser TWS4 which one you'd recommend ?

[@JohnScottB]

I haven't yet tested the Sennheiser set, so I can't really comment there. That said, as mentioned in the video I think the wings on the Bose are really helpful for getting them to stay sealed in my ears so in my opinion they are worth a shot for you. The Sennheisers also have a small flange on them, so it may be a similar fit. Let me know if you end up trying and liking the Sennheisers!

[@erkanvural3621]

@@JohnScottB yeah as for fit i feel like bose is best . Sennheiser could be fine too. I will try bose thanks for quick reply appreciated keep up good works

[@PavanMS87]

Yes the ANC is incredible on the Bose, but the audacity to call them Ultra with , that kind of garbage mic quality 😢 i do a lot of calls, has Bose fix their mics on Firmware? Or is that due to garbage hardware used? 😢 a dealbreaker for me, but i want to buy Bose due to its fit and ANC.

[@JohnScottB]

Yeah it's a bummer that the mic sounds so bad.

[@mangbecak1]

Mic is horrendous. Just put it back into the case lol. I know it is a shame 😢

[@Scrappy-Youtube]

@@evolution5052 tbf theyre both really poorly tuned out the box. the sonys have a better built in eq which allows you to tune them better so id give sound to the sonys.

[@elijahfrancis2520]

I like my Bose better. I'm not a bass head by any means but the XM5s lack that "umph" factor compared to Bose. The XM5s definitely have more clarity and sound separation though.

[@vishnurmenon1396]

Bose ❤️👌

[@Sudeshna-ju9ky]

Mobile record was natural or real and both earphone are robotic sound from mic!

[@parf392]

Battery life for Sony is 8 hours! not 6 hours!

[@YouTubeLate]

I’ve had Sony earbuds in the past. Durability is the deal breaker. They break easy.

[@LeviandBoomer]

I have the bose ultras myself and regret buying them for how much i hate them after using them, sounds is ok not great (for price) anc is decent, charging them in the case can be such a hit or miss proposition, if you don’t have them site perfectly in the case they never charge. If I had a penny for every occasion when is fully charged and the other one is at 10% or dead. The app has always been horrible, can’t they come up with something better than this? Again, for the money this is bad, they should support multi access, i have been a long time Bose fan but these last two products really suck and as much as I hate the apple air max design (just downright weird design) moving from device to device and anc is outstanding, they are now my go to headset when WFH. Multi point access is a big deal for me but it always seems to be hit or miss lately

[@JohnScottB]

Sorry you've had a rough go. A lot of those seem like issues covered under their warranty. I havent had any issues with charging.

[@Re_mad7]

Not sure why anyone would get the bose with how terrible the app is.

[@JohnScottB]

The app is terrible but I havent had to open the app since I made this review and I got all my settings done. It's certainly not an app you need to use everyday unless you want custom EQs for different types of music, which I suppose is possible.

Hello, which has the most bass?

Bose has the punchier bass if that's your thing 💪💪

[@jasonMB999]

@@JohnScottB i don't understand how some say the xm5 is more bass. Is it because the xm5 bass is louder?

[@JohnScottB]

@@jasonMB999 the XM5's have more detailed EQ control as I showed in the video. "more bass" in some ways is subjective. I like my bass to be punchy and articulate, not overwhelming. For that, the Bose win. YMMV on what you're looking for.
