The biggest reason why I prefer the xm5s over the older Sony models is the sound quality, it's not that the bass is lacking or the treble is higher, but it sounds like a veil has been lifted. The XM3s especially sound really dark and boomy. In some songs you can tell where the bass has a texture and richness to it like a low guitar note, the xm5 manage to deliver that much much better than my old XM3s!

[@mark1313131313]

You know the sony app and that you can eq the headphones?? I EQed my xm3 and they nearly sound the same to the xm5.... The xm5 only have a little wider stage and less bas punch 'cause of the smaller drivers. Features like NC, Ambient, Ear-Rec, MultiDevice etc. are really great upgrades, but is that worth it to sell the xm3 for 150 and lose maybe 200.

I also had the XM3 before and even with the EQ these headphones sound quite bad, muddy, muffled and boomy. The XM5 by default already sound much more natural than the XM3 and with a proper EQ setting these actually sound great!

I just wanna say I appreciate your chill style. I've been seeing so many videos on the xm5 to decide whither I wanted them or not.. And I think I got a headache from all the screaming and loading back music on many videos. That's why I appreciate your video so much. Keep it going

Ive been using thr XM4s for a few years and after that time, I really wish the lady inside my headphones was capable of not speaking. I tried thr XM5s in store, and what really stood out to me was that switching between modes played a tone for half a second, which is heavenly when you're used to a robotic voice saying AMBIENT SOUND, ANBIENT SOUND OFF, NOISE CANCELLING.

@levihancox1996 i don't remember exactly when I left this comment, but I've not had the xm4s for over a year, so i don't remember what it sounded like anymore. I've been using Bose products since and I've found that if I make my device name ".", then it skips the part that tells me what device it's connected to. Maybe that'll work for sony's stuff too?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

🤣 we love when you get to the part about trying to describe how it feels and the comfort. We struggle properly explaining that on any of our headphones reviews! You overall did a good job on your explanation, but there's still nothing like actually putting them on for yourself.

[@NewStuffTV1]

Absolutely!

[@jeffatturbofish]

Granted, I use headphones a bit different than most people who review such things. I use them at the office where I will be using them for video/audio meetings [we all turn off our video these days - no one wants to look at a nerd], phone calls, music of all kinds, books, podcasts but the biggest feature is shutting out the office noise. All of the programmers will spend at least $300 on making sure that their co-workers are audially gone, so that we can snap ourselves back into solving the problem of the day. My XM5, older XM3 that I gave away to a co-worker and the first generation will last for days. At home and home office, I will use Bose 35 II because my wife got them for me... Biggest feature that threw me off with my XM5 is I have them hooked up to my phone and super-duper laptop. When I get a call [have the office phone go through my cell phone], I can never be quite sure who is answering - laptop, cell or just hearing voices again. That has brought about some interesting conversations, especially when getting a call from VPs and not knowing how they are hearing me.

[@garyturner5938]

Which headphones do you prefer? I'm also a programmer and need to have a good mic for video calls. The 4th version seems to have a crap mic when there is background noise.

[@chriswatchingponies9877]

I bought them just today, so i had to watch a couple of vids. They replace my M3. And yes, i miss the lady too 😆''Power ooon''. She sounded like my AI friend from the future. But the noise canceling... so much better ! I live in a place, above a restaurant, and there's always noise. People talking, plates clattering, those stupid, hated units for their freezers. Pretty much gone with these headphones. I'm using them for gaming, to disappear into my own world. Fun vid.

[@foubster]

It's so hard to decide whether or not I should buy these because I'm scared of the hinges breaking as per the reviews on amazon and reddit but then I watch videos like these and they whip the xm5s around like it's nothing and they don't break at all!

[@AmericanRoads]

Is it true that XM5's ANC is completely adaptive, where you can only turn it on and off, but have no way to manually adjust its strength when it is on? I heard complaints about the ANC's adaptability being too intermittent and abrupt, which makes it feel like it is stuttering and uncomfortable. Has the adaptive ANC bothered you at all?

[@NewStuffTV1]

I haven't experienced that. As far as being completely adaptive... that's not entirely true. When you activate "Adaptive Sound Control" yes... it changes depending on the environment and your actions. If you turn that feature off, you will have full manual control over it.

Could not agree more about the voice prompts - Love these Sony XM5'S, and while you say correctly you get to know the different tones that the Sony XM5 have with regard to sound modes they can go into, it would be helpful and appreciated in a future software update if Sony could bring it back. It may be only a small feature but it was an extremely helpful one.

Great video (as someone who's just upgraded from the 4s to the 5s. The comfort is another level. The 4s felt SO good until I tried on the 5s in the shot. WOW, the 4s are like HEAD CLAMPS compared to the 5s. Thing is, I've used my 5s once - bought them in Doha airport so having to contact Sony to get a replacement. But when you've got a wide head, the 5s are so much more comfortable. The foams don't squash as much on the 5s as they do on the 4s. And - and a Brit - I'm loving your t-shirt, a famous line from "The Office" with Ricky Gervais on the BBC.

Great video man!! I just purchased the XM5 headphones and so happy I did.......they are a DREAM compared to any earphones or headphones I've had to date. I have some really solid sports over ear earphones for gym, walking, and they sport some decent quality. However, I needed something for the heavy duty listening days when I need to block out background noise and really hone in on some superb audio quality (either for games, animation, or music). Your points really resonated with me and I feel even better knowing my purchase was a wise one......thanks again! Sony changed the folding design from the XM4s because people kept complaining about the hinges breaking.....probably an improvement for the XM5s.

Loved the XM4's for comfort and ANC, etc. In fact, I was only driven to buy the XM5's _only because_ they started getting buggy. The microphones weren't the best and actually kind of crappy but _at least_ it worked. For some reason, maybe after a firmware update, the microphones simply stopped working. Like, at all. Oddly, they would predictably halt/mute after talking. But only after talking. It was a really weird and extremely annoying and difficult to fix problem that I just got frustrated with and gave up on because I had to move on. I need headphones that I can listen to music with and make calls with without having to worry about "Hey, are these working? Can you hear me?" when the other person says "Hello? Hello you're kind of muffled... you were clear then went silent... hello?" 🤦‍♂

The issue I'm having is that my Liberty 3 Pro sound shutters a lot but occasionally, especially because of the wind and the environment in my house, so many obstructions and mostly the problem cones from LDAC which I already know that when set to that mode I'm going experience connection issuse from time which has become frequent but not all the time, as expected. Mainly use them for work, relaxation and commuting, travelling. Returning the Liberty 3 Pro for purchasing the Space 45 I dont think for me personal is worth it because the liberty 3 pro has more customisable features and also the connection issues only happens occasionally and sometimes frequently. So what would you guys do? I think having a second pair of headphones could be a good investment for myself and my family but is it worth the money?

Hi Buddy, Thanks for the detailed explanation, I was also searching if XM4 or XM5 can be used for Video Editing as well, XM is bassyl I guess and Sennheiser gives original sound. But still I found XM listed as a headphone that can be used for Audio Editing/ Video Editing. What is your verdict on Using a "wireless" Sony XM4 or XM5 for video editing or using Sennheiser (wired) HD300 Pro or HD400 Pro or HD599 Special Edition?

[@jeremydueck4029]

From my understanding of audio, wireless Bluetooth headphones aren’t designed for editing or amazing sound. They are more designed to be portable and easy to travel with. If your only going to sit at your desk with headphones, go with something like the sennheisers. If you might be travelling with the headphones a lot, go with the xm4/5.

[@managingaccounts]

@@jeremydueck4029 Yes thats very much the case that wireless are not good in videoediting, but XM4 and XM5 are wired + wireless, and as they have "equaliser control" via app, can now we get "neutral sound" in XM, which is required for video editing, or still your choice would be Sennheiser headphone for editing and XM for travel?

I’ll post another comment once I receive them and have had time to try them out. Thanks as will for describing the headphones as being blind it really helps me get an idea of what they are like before I have them in my hands.

How they holding up?

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

My sony XM5 headphones are doing just fine with no issues. I usually keep them in there case when I'm not using them.

[@mikenyc1589]

Hey...Do you have any recommendations on sub $50/$100 headphones (over ears) mostly for TV...? Some of your older videos has items discontinued ...thxs

[@NewStuffTV1]

The Soundcore Life Q20+ are still my favorite headphones in that price range.

[@mikenyc1589]

@@NewStuffTV1 that I have and love it!

[@dodonohoe30]

how do you think these compare to the Bose 700s? Is it work the extra?

[@NewStuffTV1]

I remember being in the store comparing them side by side. The ANC in the 700 was not as good as Sony’s nor was the comfort. Sound quality is subjective, so that's totally up to you. I walked out of the store with the XM5 obviously. 👊🏾

[@velvetpilot2008]

I don't understand the lack of NFC either. I rarely used it with my past Sony headphones, but it was nice to have it in case you didn't or couldn't pair it.

[@the1curveball]

@New Stuff TV I've been wanting to buy but can't decide which ones to get xm5s or xm4s I mainly want it for audio quality and anc. The country where I stay has a sale going for both, the xm5s cost me $330 and xm4 cost me $245. I really wanna get the xm5s but I've kinda heard the anc is a bit shit. But I don't mind getting xm4s but it's been over 2 years since it came out so idk how long will that investment last. Help me choose

[@davidorlin3499]

Buy the Sony headphones from best buys and buy a warranty with them. Then you can take them back if you have a problem with them. Keep in mind that best buys has 2 different types of warranty. I like the replacement warranty, know questions asked!🤗

[@beekaye1496]

Nice Review my Brother. Merry Christmas to you and the family

[@Elmeatbolio]

Sent these back. Feel cheap and flimsy; I’m scared to touch them for fear of braking. Bought the AirPod max and couldn’t be happier.

[@am.ankitmon]

I don't understand why people don't care about nfc. It's just so simple to connect the headphones also if the bottons break after 4,5 years of use.

[@NewStuffTV1]

👊🏾

[@Andyhandle]

Love the review. I'm still using my Sony whxm3 and love the NFC. I used to like the Sony folding but I've got some Bose NC700 and I don't mind the non folding, most of the time. Sony app control is great.

Hi Antwan ! I have been looking for a whole day and still haven't found any answer, maybe you could help 😁 ! Long story short, I have been a Parrot Zik fan for about 10 years, I just found out that they decided to discontinue them and now I am looking for a set of headphones with pretty much the same quality and features. I see that you have a Parrot Zik 2, I was using a Zik 3 but do you have any recommendation ? Thank you so much for your help ! enjoy your sunday :)

[@NewStuffTV1]

I seriously feel your pain! Back in 2016/17, I switched to the Sony WF-1000XM3 and stuck with those until the XM5 cam out. That's currently what I use. The XM3 EQ has a setting called "Surround VPT" and I loved it. It gives the music a more spacious sound like a home stereo. They've done away with that feature in the XM5, but to me they still sound fantastic. Another thing I like about the Sony XM5 is the automation of noise cancelling and ambient sound. Sony does the best job at this compared to any other brand. One last thing is the battery... All of these newer headphones have 40-50 hour batteries! I hope that helps, if you have anymore questions it's easier for me to be contacted on Instagram. Good luck!

[@o0Chewey0o]

@@NewStuffTV1 😣I have been depressed ever since I read the news... Why would they do that🥺Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I will definitely get them two and give the one I won't use to my siblings 😆. I would have sticked to the XM3 but when you said the XM5 feels like a Parrot... 🤣 Once again thank you very much for your time!! Have an awesome sunday ahead !

[@youdhister1]

The xm4s have a hinge issue and have costed me a $$$ to get them fixed appropriately, I appreciate if thats the reason the xm5s are not foldable anymore.

[@cookingwithsanjay]

I really appreciate this review especially since you showed the Parrots. I still have those Parrots and absolutely love their SQ and ANC but I just flew from Perth to Dubai and Dubai to Seattle in 1 day and yeah that was longer than an 8 hour flight. I was hurting when they needed to be recharged so now I've started researching a comparable ANC headphone. I'm still contemplating the WH-1000XM4 or WH-1000XM5 but I think either will be fine based off the reviews I've seen.

[@ooooo5361]

Is it true the ANC self-adjusting constantly gets annoying? I read this as a big flaw of the XM5s that doesn't get discussed much. Reviewer said it's most notable in environments with random noise sources, which makes sense.

[@5PYZ3R]

Good to know about the headphone voice, I do like the sony lady also in my xm3 buds

[@elmaster6207]

Hey, can you review the Momentum 4, Im planning to make those my daily drivers.

[@robbie8704]

Yessir, I hear you. Thanx for the awesome updated review of the XM5. You da man. 😎

I purchased the senheiser momentum 4s yesterday it was between them ,the Sony m5s and the bose qc ultra

had mine for 2 days, love them already. I come from having Jabra 85h for 2 years.

[@stephenknight6562]

I don’t think they are worth it. I returned mine. They pinched my ears and don’t like shallow ear cups. Exchanged the for the sennhieser momentum 4 which really happy with!

[@przytulanka1979]

I didn't like the folds. My hair got into them. The headphones fell apart and had to fix them with tape. I have none of these problems with WH-1000XM5.

[@msaylorBTC100M]

XM5 or the Sennheiser M4s?

[@lonesixx]

can you review the sennheiser momentum 4 headphones?

[@blessn100]

Quick question, is the carbon fibre a skin?

[@TwinSaidDoIt]

Why nfc was removed still blows my mind. Didn’t even have to think. Just tap my phone and roll.

[@NewStuffTV1]

I really miss that... same with the speakers 😪

So true, I miss that lady. Also really dislike the case and them not folding down, biggest drawback but still love them.

Man, first time I watch one of your videos, and I have to say, you rock ! Great review ! What's your dog's race btw, is that an irish wolfhound?

Tha KS for watching bro. He's a giant schnauzer. I'm always posting him on Instagram.

Good review. Cheers. My mate just bought the XM4’s so he’s gonna love this. Haha 😊

[@abcdefghi549]

so im stubborn. im literally wearing the xm3s right now.. n my grand plan was to wait for the 6s.... i still dont like the 5s specifically because of the case. i use these for travel n cant compromise losing the small case

[@fluglotse1]

A wonderful dog, I will watch any review with that giant schnauzer in it!

[@VisionXtreme101]

Hey, love your honest down to earth reviews! Coming to you from the beautiful island of Trinidad in the West Indies! I got a pair of Wyze headphones as a gift recently and saw mostly good reviews online. If you can spare the time (and possible expense) do you think you could do your down to earth review at some point in the future? 🤔Thanks!

[@Seahawks1976]

Love the video and the whole background and vibe is good!
