For my personal use I have boosted the mids and highs quite a bit in the EQ of the app and brought back the bass just a touch. Makes a world of difference! I was pretty disappointed with the base sound but after a bit of tinkering I think these sound really satisfying. They still aren't "flat" for sure but it sits in a sweet spot for me right now. 400: 0 1K: +3 2.5K: +4 6.3K: +5 16K: +1 Clear bass: -1 Also if I'm sitting at home and don't need ANC ON I just leave it off and it cuts down on the Sub bass a bit

@JohnSmith-oe4bw 3 года назад

I have like 20 HP's, and I love my XM3. It's my favorite portable, and one of my top HP's (w/Sundara, m40x, HD560s/650/600, DT1990). It DOES need EQ though. If you know about sound and what you like, you'll know what to do. FIRST, you turn off ANC (the DSP mangles the EQ), and use it with ambient mode on or no NC. - Then, lower down around 125hz a few db (also lower sub-bass

I have these headphones and while I had the same impression about the sound quality at first... idk... it grew better with time. I'm not sure if you can get that used to a sound signature, because it didn't happen with the previous 2 bluetooth headphones, but this really got subjectively better over time. In the first 2 weeks it was meh and now I absolutely love it. Wonder if you can push drugs through music now.

@user-be5rk2hy3c 2 года назад

this is so true. I can't quite explain it, but they sure do become better over time. I used Shure 1540 before and the Sony for half a year. After I returned to Shure the sound was very surprising. I found that I liked the Sony . . . closer to Shure that you would have expected. So, yeah, it is very strange experience.

@jackandrews7821 3 года назад

Best review I've seen for them yet 👌If you're not an audiophile these will be the best sounding headphones you'll likely ever own. Previous experience colours your perception of sound, so unless you regularly critically listen to high end audio like Josh here the perception of things like not having a rich vocal experience will be different to you, and you may find that these headphones provide with a very intimate vocal experience. Psychoacoustics play a big role. It's also very important to remember that the source quality needs to be good as well. Simply going from Spotify to a master quality recording on Tidal will vastly improve your experience.

@mike__durrett 3 года назад

@nipunsharma5351 2 года назад

I have the B&W PX7 and I dislike them. They have a weird sound where there is a decent amount of mid-bass, horrible sibilance even at 60-70% volume ( you can’t listen to them at 100% volume) and that’s all. All instruments and vocals sound as if they’ve been introduced as an afterthought, as engineers forgot that headphones need to bring out instruments and vocals as well. They are the second worst after the Bose QC 35.

@somanybooks 3 года назад

I'm new into getting into headphones. How would you say the quality of sound on these compares to a wired headphone like the Sennheiser HD6xx with a basic DAC/AMP (like the Schiit Fulla)? Would there be a night and day improvement with the wired set-up over the XM4?

@alexossan2829 3 года назад

Another great production! Thank you for mentioning the hiss. I hate the hiss in bluethooth headphones. Hate it so much that I'm still on wired connections even though I absolutely love going wireless. Many reviews on ANC bluetooth headphones simply go on like there's no hiss and they're all completely silent. But I think it is an extremely important fact for an "audiophile" reviewer to mention. Maybe less so for gadget reviewers.

@bloodlynx 3 года назад

I tried the bose 700 and I find it odd you prefer it to the XM4. The mids are so weirdly pushed it almost sounds fake. For some reason the Bose QC II sound better to my ears. When I comes to movies the XM3/ XM4 takes the win. Did you expience any more detail with the use of ldac?

@haukionkannel 3 года назад

Every Person has differen head, different ears and different preferences. Good interview keep his review points same. We as customers have to try a couple of headphones that reviwers has reviewed. And then use your own preferences based on reviewers. If you like same type of headphones like kosh, it is easy to pick up something that he likes. But if you think that Headphones that Josh like has not enough bass, or has too much middle range, you chose or try something that josh say is more bass heavy and have too low middle range. The Main point in here is that not everyone like the same headphones or even speakers! That you have to find on your own. But when you know what you like and a reviewers says that this and that headphone is very similar than those you yourself like. They most likely Are worth of looking for!

@stikraverboy 2 года назад

LDAC is a High Resolution Audio format, why didn't you listen with that and if you did, did it make any difference? It's one of the marketing things Sony claims is a benefit for getting their headphones and Xperia 1 phones. And I'm def interested in your opinion on it.

@atthelord 3 года назад

Man I have to disagree with you on this one. I do feel these are superior in sound quality to the 700s, out of the box and more so with the EQ tuned. The 700 had a narrower soundstage and really subpar imaging. Not to say these are much better, but relative to the Bose, they are better. You can EQ out a lot of the boominess of the lower end and open up the Sony's a bit more as well. The Bose have a fantastic mic though, but from a comfort and listening standpoint, I prefer the Sony. This is what I got out of them from extensive testing over 3 months (bought used and sold fwd). If only the panda or Mobius had NC, they would be perfect! Though the Mobius has a really bad mic lol. I'm going to try the Airpod Max at some point. Really hoping they are great. I have high expectations from them. They won't be a DT1990 but I'm hoping they're something good.

@randeepnagi5830 3 года назад

Thanks for reviewing these headphones. I was wondering, did you listen to them wired, or just over Bluetooth? I noticed that when they are wired and powered on, they opened up quite a bit compared to listening over Bluetooth. I understand that they are intended to be primarily used wirelessly, but am interested if your opinion of the audio quality changes when they are wired.

@victorvannatter312 2 года назад

I love mine for driving. My work vehicle rattles and groans and a ton of wind noise. These close all that out. The noise cancelling is amazing. I mostly listen to audiobooks and podcasts and they're great for that. As far as the sound profile, I set the equalizer in the app to bright. That helps get rid of a lot of the bass. Unfortunately for some reason on these headphones, if you turn the EQ on, you can only use them with SBC codec which is the worst one. That's the one disappointment I would love to use aptX or AAC or especially LDAC

@CraigArnolduk 3 года назад

You missed the best way of using them for an audiophile: you put a nice pair of IEMs underneath and then you just use the XM for noise cancelling. If you are on properly noisy public transport e.g. London Underground, that is the best way to use them (where noise can sometimes reach 100dB). The ANC is quite superb, they are comfortable, good battery life, etc. Combine a good seal on an IEM and the ANC on these and you can actually enjoy your music. Actually the sound quality gets something of a boost if you are using them with a Sony phone. They definitely sound better with my Xperia 1 Mk II than with other phones. Some Sony special sauce perhaps. I also use them sometimes late at night paired to my TV if I don't want to wake up the rest of the house with the main stereo. They work just fine for that.

Please include a review after using it with wavelet and it's in built auto EQ. The auto EQ cuts some of that omni directional bass hence boosting imaging, brings out vocals better and removes a few peaks and troughs in the treble range. I think it's a worth while investment of your time to try container headphones with wavelet especially since you cater to audiophiles who are willing to go that extra mile to get better sound from even their traveling headphones.

Once you get used to the touch controls, they are very intuitive and don't require thought. Skip track and volume controls are great.

If I'm not mistaken, the bulge-thingie in the ear cups is for noice cancelling.

What is your opinion on DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm with an iFi Zen Dac? I will be using it for music (rap, funk, pop), gaming (mostly games like GTA V, COD, NBA2k, Battlefield & racing games) and watching RU-vid.

It doesn't sound great, really? I brought the nw a105 DAP, what headphones would you recommend for that then if not these? Can't you use the wire so then can use DSEE or LDAC with Sony DAP A105? I think your review is vague, as I think these headphones are are optimized for hardware with LDAC DSEE? or am I mistaken?

@williamwong3379 3 года назад

Hi Joshua great video. Quick question. Did you try hi resolution audio format on the Sony? I know that the ldac in the Sony has 3 times more bandwidth than normal bluetooth so I was curious. Thanks

@DamianNocun 2 года назад

This headphones should be listen only with LDAC to use their potential, and important is to use source like Tidal and mobile as Galaxy S21 which is capable to play 24/32bits, this is making a huge difference concerning sound quality. Using AAC is just bad for those if someone focusing on sound. Review of this headphones should focus on LDAC aspect when comparing with others.

Hello, I'm thinking of buying Sony wh1000xm3. If I buy xm4, which xm3 would you recommend? is there any difference between them?

@prraneet1760 3 года назад

No one talks about the Shure Aonic 50s. It would be great if you could do a review on the Shure headphones

@benjmiester 3 года назад

I never found out what you ultimately thought of these vs the Drop Pandas or possibly the K371-BT? I'm thinking of making the switch to those from the XM4s. Trading ANC for better sound quality. Any recommends. The only major complaints I have for the XM4s are a bit harsh/shrill upper mid-highs and basically what you thought about the bass. That it's a little weak on the sub bass part but very boomy and punchy in the mid bass ranges.

my XM3s i can't wear around my neck, it always finds a way to pinch me, given enough time. but i can't thumbs up the accessories it comes with enough. like the dual plug airplane adapter, which you don't know you need til you're over the arctic, 5 hrs into a 19 hr flight

is there a closed back passive isolation headphone that comes close? I want a wired headphone...

@rodrigoruiz1988 3 года назад

I don’t like the touch controls either. I would rather have actual buttons. The issue is certain movements or a slight accidental brush will change the track. It’s happened to me too often. If they changed that these would be the best headphones with Bluetooth for travel. (I have the precious generation of these.)

@ea9849 3 года назад

Bro, you can swipe and hold to manipulate the volume by more than one unit. Learn how to use the touch controls, they're great.

What would you say for the Bang&Olufsen Beoplay H95? Have you listened to them?

Would you consider doing a review of the Shure Aonic 50?

@AndrewLamas19 3 года назад

Can you please do a review on the fairly new seeaudio yume/anou, I would like to hear your opinion on them!

@AlainKapture 3 года назад

You will probably get a better headphone for less money like HD6XX/650 but if you are in a train or plane, with all the noise you will not enjoy it. For that a ANC Headphone will give a way better listening experience in these situations. Love my XM2s for that.

@poohdini2392 3 года назад

But the problem is, you only get the *headphones* for less money, not a DAC/AMP which will cost at least 100 dollars more. That's why i've decided to buy the Momentum 3 since they have everything a travel headphone needs and the addition that you can use them per usb-c with their own dac/amp to get a better sound without any extern dac etc..

@AlainKapture 3 года назад

@@poohdini2392 yes but I have also a Audio Technica ATH-MSR7b paired with a iFiMan hip-DAC and use it on the balanced output and man, the quality is insanely better ! But I don’t enjoy using it on the go or even when doing something else because 1. it is a pain in the (b)ass with the câble and 2. I find I needs to be more “concentrated” to enjoy the song. All that micro details could be fatiguing, at least for me, when you don’t let you brain focused on theese. But when I’m lying in the bed, damn is it enjoyable !

@poohdini2392 3 года назад

@@AlainKapture Very well spoken on that last part. I have the Momentum 3 on my head right now and their bass is wayy too much. Never thought that DMS EQ settings (-6db bass) are actually good. Now that i have them here though, i have to admit that he is right.
