Mad respect for Flossy for keeping it real and not sponsored

[@stinkinlincoln926]

sponsored or personal, he gets RESPECT because he will keep it real either way. Remember man, you would do the same exact thing when you got expenses, needs and wants. He is not a sell out for making money, same way you work for your bosses for money. He would get a sponsored video done, and then trash it in the real review if its trash. Either side, you know where you stand with Floss.

12 years ago I started a new job that required a lot of travel so I bought a pair of Sony wired noise canceling earbuds. I still use them to this day! Was waiting for the right tech to come together and this is it. To have wireless noise cancellation earbuds like these is an incredible technology leap in a decade. Can’t wait to get them!

Pre ordered these earlier today. I do a lot of welding & stuff in a noisy shop and needed some new ones I can abuse while blocking out sound. & the charging is a big deal. The more I can keep them constantly in my ears is better for me 💯

[@Lawz1993]

Was thinking to pre-order it for early bird box and when I saw what it included. I just wait for awhile not in hurry anymore xD Worst Early Bird gift ever.

[@abrahamroberts2040]

Just got mine today. Just right off the bat - the ANC is impressive!!! I think it may be even a little better than my Bose Quiet Comfort II's. This makes it worth the money alone for me. But the multi-point connection seals the deal. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review is spot on

[@adokis]

I chose these based on this review - Flossy! I couldn't be happier. I have had a couple other Sony buds but these are a big step forward. The size and weight to start are a game changer for Sony. Dialing in the EQ makes these things aing. Sony has always had great features and that remains true with these buds.

[@FlossyCarter]

The size is the best part! I love how they made them smaller without sacrificing any quality

[@Cryptosavage.]

No bass for me

[@1liono]

In 2-3 years, this M5 will be king of budget buds for around $150-200 dollars. Great review, @flossy, and awesome job, @sony

[@DrivenA111]

Apparently, people have said the battery stops lasting after they get some age.

[@cokehater7396]

​@@DrivenA111yeah they do have aluminium ion batteries, as most devices do. they will wear down, but i had my xm4's for a bit over 2 years. never ran out of battery, even though the battery life did get a bit worse over time. but if sony keeps making these xm5's even after they release the xm6's, their price will most definitely go down. brand new budget earbuds!

[@adityajain2300]

Excellent video as always! One quick suggestion if you think it's worth it - try using samsung call recording feature (not sure if it's available in your region) to showcase environmental noise cancellation on calls. The fact that these are cancelling wind noise to zero is unbelievable and I would've loved to listen to a sample!
