That's right I agree, I love how detailed he is about all his reviews like he makes you want to buy the item because of his review I purchased a pair of Bose Earbuds because of him and this will be the same with these headphones because I've been wanting some headphones 🎧 that go over the ear instead of the ones that go in your ear but anywho I'm purchasing soon thank you always for your TRUE REVIEWS @FlossyCarter 😀😊❤️

[@MF_OXF]

already got mine last week. A noticeable improvement over the xm4 in Sound Quality, ANC and OMG COMFORT. deffo recommend them

What about the mic?

[@scottthompson3775]

These videos never ever ceases to amaze me. The smile on my face gradually gets bigger as I'm watching and floss's hype levels increase. Especially as he's going through each EQ setting. I was genuinely waiting for this video. I was wondering if I should upgrade my M4s and go with the M5s. So far, it's looking like I'm about to make the jump. I love the quality that goes into the videos that flossy produces. No one can replicate. Shout out to White Shoes as well for always being on deck to make sure the products are tested for quality 👌🏽 The videos wouldn't be the same without her. Great job as always! 👏🏽

[@styner3]

I normally wait for a deal before I buy new headphones, I already had the XM4’s. I preordered these and glad I did, I manly bought these for the better fit on my big ears 👂. Wow! Better than I was expecting, NC, fit and phone call clarity are incredible.

[@junlau780]

Love your vids flossy, especially the ending where you do the rankings. always makes it easy for me to know where they compare. My only gripe with the XM5s is that they dont collapse/fold like the XM4......If they made XM5 with the collapsibility of the XM4 it would have been perfect

Got them last week. Fantastic pair of headphones! After my xm4 fell into the pool (rip). Noise cancelling is even better than the xm4 and especially my voice on the other side of the phone is waaaay better. Also sound quality is pretty much as good as the xm4 if not better. Yes they have smaller drivers but they are more efficient. Also the box is compostable

[@brobob52]

I use it for drumming. The anc is that good. I still have issues when i wear glasses tho. I dont get a great seal. The headphones r super comfy and the audio quality is decent enough. Great headphones

I brought them right now because of this review, thank you, I was this close to getting the XM4s to be honest. I need the call quality to be 👌 so far I love them, you’re so right they feel insanely light and comfortable

[@yeji_]

these are the first wireless headphones ive ever purchased and honestly i dont have a bad thing to say about it. i can definitely see how people are upset about them not being able to fold, especially since theyre for travel. most of the time, i usually wear them around my head or have a lot of space prepared to fit them in my bag anyway. ive been truly wearing them almost all day, everyday, since i got them and theyre v comfortable. after messing with the eq settings theyre great sounding as well. the app is great, everything is great. ambient sound isnt the best but it does its job enough for me, personally. i got the white ones and dont really notice any fingerprints either and theyre so light to wear its v nice. i dont think anyone would be upset if they purchase these but the M4s seem just as great, especially at their pricepoint right now.

[@realkoko-loco]

Try the Air Pod Pro’s. The noise cancellation is so much better. I own the pods and Xm-5. It’s not even close. Xm-5’s are nice, but like 69% of the noise cancellation. Apple AirPods is more like 98%. I like the Sony, but these weren’t worth $400.

[@Ebay4everyone]

@@realkoko-loco you are trippin

[@FlossyCarter]

He's definitely tripping, Airpods aren't even in the top 10 for ANC

[@yeji_]

yeah lmaoo. ive been using them literally everyday now and even had a flight where i used them. definitely a good purchase that i dont regret. idk if airpod pros are the way to go in terms of anc … the battery life on the sonys are also literally a life saver- i barely charge them and they last for so long. trust me, i use them for 6+ hours daily with studying, gaming, etc. the only part to be weary about is the headband part because its pretty thin, in terms of width, so the concentration point doesnt span out like a wider one would, if that makes sense. therefore it took some getting used to.

Been rocking my Sony WH-1000XM3’s ever since Carter did his reviews on them a few years back. I’ve worn them on planes, on tractors, in skid steers, in vehicles. They’ve been covered in dust and dirt and felt -50c and yet they’ve never skipped a beat. The battery is absolutely fantastic, they usually last me 2 weeks between charges with being used for on average an hour a day, the sound quality is still second to none, and the comfort hasn’t diminished whatsoever. Sony brings it to the table when it comes to wireless headphones and earbuds and I’m so thankful to have someone like Carter on KZbin to point consumers in the right direction.
