What would you suggest trying if my XM5 gets cut out like each 1-2 minutes for a fraction of a second? It happens when im walking and my phone is in my pocket (lets say left pocket), so the right ear would cut out. I tried switching phones and it didnt help, i am using already AAC codec. Really annoying thing when listening to music and given that these are really expensive earbuds, previously i owned XM3 and it worked just fine (the mic sucked though), it never cut off like this
Hi aaron how are you? Look i have a question, is the quality of the foam on the xm5 better than the xm4??? If not what 3rd party eartips will give me the exact same anc quality and bass. I need to sort out this issue before i get mine delivered 😅
Bass is heavier in MTW3. I have both and the sony sounds much more true to life and clean. You can really boost bass in MTW3 to absurd levels. Overall I like the xm5 better
Hey Aaron, thank you for the hard work! Hopefully I'll be able to trade in my XM4s with the XM5 soon. But btw, did you notice that with the latest update, the XM4s can't independently connect? I used to be able to just either the left or the right earbud independently but now, only the right one! Please help with this if you can, the feature was super useful and it helped me mentally as I could use one after the other knowing I'm not draining only the right earbud's battery.
I'm a little shocked you can't reassign individual Tap selections. I'm especially shocked that this is the case for the Ambient Sound control choice, where 2 of the options are not assigned. Truly a waste. If there is a way to do this, please record a video! (you can just point me to it. :))
earbuds are great but what I really hate is the volume control using touch controls...I have also Bose 700 btw where is used by sliding up/down. On sony on the other you can only tap or hold, which makes sense due to the size. What I dont understand is the idea of tapping 4times! to be able to adjust the volume. This is utterly nonsense. And you cant even change it in the app so you can atach volume controls to other tap-option (e.g. hold/2x tap/etc). So I have to have empty 2x tap because I dont really need spotify or whatever to control through the touch...pure lag of thinking from sony
thanks for the tutorial, but on the status tab I cant find a way to show current sound pressure, is that require any special setting or connect app beta build?
@@aaronloudnwireless just try it and still can't make it appear, my connect app version is 10.1.0 ,xm5 version 2.0.1. did you login on the activity tab? I can't login because register account website is bugged
What he should be saying is " sorry for the WF-1000XM4 battery disaster.' and that issue has been corrected with the xm5s. But no, let's pretend that never happen. They should've recalled all of the xm4s. Just stupid. Just plain irresponsible. Make customers tear their hair out thinking they did something wrong. Nothing is absolutely perfect, so OWN UP TO IT. All the bells and whistles don't mean a damn thing IF the batteries are junk.
Didn't really need a turtorial but I'm sure someone does. The bottom line ...you put in a lot of hard work in your video and deserve a lot of credit for your videos. Keep up the Good Work!
Don't think I've ever commented on a You Tube video before but this was excellent. This is my 1st set of Sony headphones and this helped in many ways. Point by point clarification but succinct. Helped me immensely. Liked and subscribed.
Wow. They really need to add custom options for the touch sensor buttons like they do with the xm4000. I want full volume controlls on my left ear that I can scale with only 1 or 2 taps. Pressing both side of my ear 4 times to try and get the volume just right is a ridiculous oversight. Its so bad I though it just needed and update but there is still no way for volume customization like the previous model.
Notice how quickly you blasted though the touch controls? Yeah, cause they are garbage. The Xm4 settings were better. Wish i could force the app to use the XM4 touch settings.
Thank you Aaron. Really good tutorial. I am considering these but am Apple. I do have the Sony WH-1000XM4 which I love though. So hard to choose between AirPods Pro 2 or these.
I just got those. XM4 sounded better. I could never wear xm4 for longer than let’s say 30 min b/c they would hurt my ears. The new ones are more comfortable but the sound quality went down. They sound very thin. I cross compared them with AirPods Pro and beats studio buds +. For iPhone - AirPods work best in my opinion.
If it only had good call quality, I would have kept them, I talk to my mom 1 hour a day almost every day, I have no problem with the Buds2 Pro, L3P amd the Tozo OpenReal, with the WF-1000XM5 my mom and my wife said I my voice sounded scrapy, muffled and cutting off in a QUIET enviroment, while driving it got worse, I think I will buy the Linkbuds S again to get that Sony clean sound, not saying Sony sound is the best, but on earbuds sound is pleasant and clean.
Yeah my main problem with these is also the calls. Nobody can understand what I'm saying. If you don't install Sony app the can hear me a lot better, but then you loose some customizations that you are paying 300€ for.
I just got mine today I’m impressed with noise canceling and base on these way better then Xm4 a lot people are saying is not worth the upgrade trust me it is owning the Xm4 n xm5 Wf WHXM5 ARE the lil size off brothers
I want to know why the noise cancellation is so bad? I shouldnt hear the outside noise, wind noise, home sport blender noise ,vacuum cleaner noise. Had Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds, no sound pr 23:13 oblem, warranty got off and Earbuds were in warranty fix about month, so they send the money. Thanks
I tested the WF 1000XM5 against my Samsung Buds2 Pro and found that the information on the internet is a hoax and is biased. I returned them the same day because the ANC quality was inferior to the Buds2 Pro, and the bass was not as rich. Also they do not recess in the ear as Samsung Buds2 Pro does nicely. All those comparison graphs, screams of frequency and intensity are meaningless UNLESS there is statistical proof indicating the significant variations with a 95% confidence interval does really exist.
To all Sony Bluethooth headphones and InEars you do not need this Sony headphone app. Only when you install new firmware, but otherwise not. The Sony headphone app is no added value, this app consumes only useless battery and makes nothing better even in the sound. The Sony Bluethooth headphones and InEars funksionieren best without this Sony headphone app. All music players have EQ and sound settings, so you should set everything directly in music player apps and not with the Sony headphone app. EQ and sound settings are far better in music player apps than in the Sony headphone app. Or you can install this Wavelet app, this app has suitable sound settings for headphone models.
Hi, thank you for this comprehensive video. Just a quick question : is it possible to completely disable all touch sensors through the app? (notably useful while wearing a hoodie)
Anybody know what that harp sound is (like a harp twang?)..constantly occurs every few seconds - driving me mad... almost sounds like a disconnection. Personally, I hate this Sony device, and it's useless instructions.
This function of total mute does not work as well as in other much cheaper headphones, e.g. Technics. It simply works poorly and this is the only drawback for me because the sound is very good. It is strange that this application has few translations into other languages
Great video, and a huge help to me. I thought that the app would allow me to completely customise what the taps on each earbud do, rather than just choosing between playback on one side and noise cancelling on the other. Have I missed something?
Every time I want to use only one earbud, the noise cancelling turns off by itself. It is annoying because sometimes I pick the side which isn't set up with the noise cancellation control, so I have to pick the other side and turn it off actively. can somebody help me with this issue??
Is there any way to change the touch sensor settings for playback. For example, if I want to tap twice (instead of 4 times) on the right sensor to increase volume, can I change that and have 3 taps on the right sensor to skip to next song? Thanks!
just got these recently but i'm not happy with it. The sound keeps cutting from the left side for like les than a second but still is annoying. My phone is a Pixel phone
Just got my WF-1000 XM5s, and despite having the WH-1000 XM3s and XM5s, the earbuds felt like a completely different beast to understand. Thanks so much for this video - each point was concise and helped clarify all the questions I had (plus gave me helpful tips I would never have considered, which really helped optimize my listening experience). Sony should pay you for making this video haha.
Die Sprachführung geht bei mir leider nicht. Galaxy s20 ultra. Habe die Sony mehrmals zurück gesetzt. Ich habe nur 2 unterschiedliche töne. Danke für das tolle Video
Hi i just bought sony wf 1000xm5...As I was looking at the sony app today i saw for my oneplus 7t android phone the codec is SBC wheresas it should have been LDAC.. Why is it so?
This video was a life safer! Easy to follow, very didactic. I'm just feeling hopeless about the constant beeping sound it makes... 😔 I can't figure out why it happens. Also, when I switch from one call to another, the earbuds lose connectivity, and I have to connect again. Is anyone having the same issue? Can anyone help? 🥲
Just bought my Sony XM5 earbuds 5 days ago. Haven't really dive deep into all of the settings. This will really help me fine tune my new earbuds. Thank you!
Hi, for the voice guide on mine its turned on but I dont hear the voice, just the little bell notifications. Is there a way to hear the voice for the wfxm5s??
In notifications and voice prompts can you turn off the touch control tones ? everytime you tap on the earbuds touch controls you hear a noise and I’m sure you could switch it off on the xm4s
Very great tutorial. I have few questions if you can answer. 1) Can you use LDAC with multipoint enabled? 2) Can you use only one earbud for music and calls? 3) Is there any gesture to answer a call (even with one earbud)? Thank you!
I bought the sony wf-1000 xm5, just a few weeks ago, and it is not working in the way it supposed to. I cant get throug to the anc, it is simply not there. I was bought in Bandung Indonesia, knowing the anc part was not working, I did go back to the shop. The manager of the shop told me that nothing was wrong with the sony's and refused to give me a new pair. What can I do next? Service is out of the question, I visited the shop already 3 times. I think I'm in need of some help
@@aaronloudnwireless, thanks for your reaction. The size of ear tips that I use do fit very well. What I noticed when I watched your video with the best custom settings, you had more to choose from, when I followed your doing step by step. To see your choices compare to mine, and my ANC that is not working, the refusal from the shop manager to give me a new pair of wf 1000-xm5. Can you please think of something that will help me further?
I first have to say that I have very little experience in audio and am only speaking as a novice listener. When I listen to music or a podcast with noise cancelling on, I hear no outside noise (even in the gym unless there is a loud yell or something right next to me). If I just have them in my ears playing nothing, then yes, noise seeps in for sure but drastic difference than when noise cancelling is off. @@av365
@@ceizhore4498 idk.. But the anc on ur until seems too good. For me, the sound intensity is reduced but i could still hear noise. Suppose the TV is playing and sit nearby, i would still be able to hear the voices clearly even though the volume seems much reduced. Now u make me wonder if i should really return
@@av365 oooh that does not seem right. When i have it turned on I legitimately hear nothing from the outside world while playing my music. I would get it checked
Bought the XM5 today but will return them if possible. The ANC is bad from my testing. It cant remove the noise from my kitchen fan, vacuum cleaner or my wifes voice. She has a pair of AirPods Pro 2, with those the fan and vacuum cleaner is barely audible. And her voice very low. Have tried all tips (the test in the Sony app thought booth medium and large tips was ok) and turned of the auto stuff. Really dissapointed.
How can you improve or configure the microphones of the Sony wf1000x4, they tell me that they can't hear me well, that they sound like a metallic or robotic sound, can you please help me 🙏🏼
Anyone have issues with the microphone on these? Mine were great for about 3 months and now the microphone on the left earbud is very muffled and quiet and sometimes doesn't pick up any sound at all. Have factory reset and initialized many times and it's the same regardless of what device I connect it to.
I just bought xm5 and first thing happened at the gym was continously turning off. I had to close app. Then it stoped and it was great. What option in app could cause that problem? I would rather use app than turn it off every time I workout.
Hey there! I was wondering if you have any updates on using spatial audio for the WF-1000XM5 in other devices such as samsung phones. I recently bought a pair and i was really hoping to use the spatial audio, but i cant seem to find any options for such. P.S my phone is a galaxy note 10 lite and a friend's galaxy buds spatial audio worked completely fine.
This was a fantastic video Aaron! The speak to chat is problematic during calls though, because it not only stops noise cancellation but also pauses any audio, including the other person speaking :( Is that how it is expected to behave?
How do you reply to message read out by google assistant, I hear countdown beeps after message has been read, which I presume is my cue to reply , but I dont know how. Help, love your videos by the way.
Are the only customization of the touch controls left or right ear? I really like to have 1 tap on the left mapped to skip track and 1 tap on the right play pause. It's so annoying when you can't make the headphones do what you want. My soundcore liberty 3 pro battery is in rough shape and I need something new.
What would you suggest trying if my XM5 gets cut out like each 1-2 minutes for a fraction of a second? It happens when im walking and my phone is in my pocket (lets say left pocket), so the right ear would cut out. I tried switching phones and it didnt help, i am using already AAC codec.
Am I right in saying that if you have ambient sound turned on it drains the battery just the same as ANC ? So your better off Havering the option to turn it off right
Can you test some foam eartips replacements for this Sony? Are there some reputable ones? I dont want to buy some random tips from Amazon and cross fingers they will be a good choice for such an expensive earbuds. Maybe you could ask Sony why they dont sell bulk replacement packs at the reasonable price? Maybe you will be treated seriously.
