Sony WH-1000XM5 UNBOXING + REVIEW - The new King of Noise Cancelling! 

The new KING of active noise cancelling headphones are here! Lemme know if you have any questions around these and I’ll be heading on a Euro trip this summer so I can wear them on the plane for 7+ hours!

Why do people love the folding feature of headphones so much the only time I would fold my old headphones was to stick it in the case. If you’re travelling you aren’t carrying the case in your hand you have it in bag so case size doesn’t matter

I own the 3’s and 4’s. I look forward to a definitive upgrade. I still use the xm3’s on a consistent basis. Keep the great reviews rolling.💎

Did these just get out of NDA/embargo? Everyone’s reviews are going live.

I use the XM3 (bought them 2 years ago) best headphones I've ever had. Having 30- hrs of battery life and fast charging is amazing.

The fact that the included case is better than the airpods max, they can actually be turned off, headphone jack, better bluetooth codecs, $100-$150 cheaper, usb c for charging, and more durable headband make these a better choice than the airpods max.

This Star Destroyer behind is amazing :)

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more about how the Airpod Max is way overpriced. I'd rather just get two sets of Airpod Pro's, for me and wifey! That being said, I think the new Sony wireless headphones are definitely worth the price tag. Having double processors and 8 microphones! I'd love to experience that while I'm either watching a movie at home or listening to music travelling by bus.

This the earliest I've ever been to a Karl Conrad video damn son.

Still using the mark 2’s, still going strong 😁

Yes, you used the term cleanability correctly.

Love the new packaging, honestly their supposed to be travel commercial headphones, high res on Sony headphones is like the Dolby tag on gaming headsets

I have lived in my M3 since they were released, the band just broke this week, ordered M5. Can't wait 👍

I'll be keeping my XM4's. I don't want to ditch the folding feature. I love that about them.

Nice thanks for the review on these Karl! Still going strong with my Bose qc35 II, but this will help with my next decision when it’s time to upgrade ✌🏻

xm5 cups are not stuck in place though they are very much removeable not like airpod but very removable with a pull.

This one of the best quality channel ive have ver come across how does this channel not have atleast 2 mil and im not just saying this to be nice i truly do think that

I just ordered mine today! They're coming tomorrow I'm really excited

Woohoo I may be able to finally get the XM4 now. Literally my first thought.

Bro I am form India and I love to see your videos love form India 🇮🇳 ❤️🇨🇦

the design of both the XM3 and XM4 is way more beautiful though

Sony are just amazing creating best of the best Headphones....Just spoiled my old ones 😂🔥🔥 Love your vids man.🔥🔥

Omega watch is poping out. good pick.

Great video, I just ordered these. I’ve been using the original first gen Sonys for years.

I JUST GOT THEM AND THEYRE A BANGER

I looooove Nora En Pure! Hearing you say that you were satisfied with the sound quality while listening to deep house sold them for me. Thanks!

Everyone using iPhone : Wow it sounds so good

I didn't get the xm3 and waited then got the xm4 and the duel pairing devices is so nice.

Been thinking about grabbing some sony headphones and Just my luck they came out with new ones

Just bought a pair of midnight blue and so happy with them.

I have wh 1000 xm5s amd i have also used airpods max and i can definitely say i don't regret my decision. These are my best 500 dollars investment.

Do the XM5s have some sort of 3D audio or spatial audio feature like the airpod maxs? I will never turn that feature off I’m obsessed with spatial audio

Just bought a pair of these and hope they work as u say they do. i work over nights and NEED to listen to music and my ears start to hurt after a few hours wearing my airpods pro. i also love that u say the mic quality for calls is good because when i call people on my AirPod’s they always say im muffled or they cant hear me to i have to change to wired headphones which doesnt help me when i am working. i am a over night staking associate so having wired headphones are always in the way or getting tugged in

I can’t wait to use them and see how good they are from The Airpod Max

Selling my AirPods max to buy these. The AirPods max are just too heavy imo. I loved the XM3s and still use them

I don't know if you'll see this but you mentioned at 4:30 how the earpads on the xm5's are stuck in place The earpads on the xm4's are held in with clips and I believe they are meant to be removable. There is a 3rd party market for replacement pads, I'm not sure off the top of my head if Sony sells replacement pads first hand. I'd want to see someone do a teardown video in order to get an idea as to how they approached this on the xm5's but if I had to guess, I'd assume it's something similar.

Definitely keep my XM4 over new one! Better design, foldable and smaller durable case.

In Norway the price difference between the Airpods Max and these are practically none existent as for some reason here the WH-1000xm5's are launching at just over $500.

The silver doesn't show as much on fingerprints and stuft i got that color insted

Thx for the Informations, it was really helpful

I own the xm4. I think the metal band when the headphones are extended should have been kept or what do you guys think? Just to expand a little why is that; the metal part prevents users from the possible accidental breakage and you don't hear any creaks.

Thanks for the reviews!

alright dude i see you flexing your biceps all low key

WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑

Hello you are doing really great. Just had one question- Is sony wh1000-xm5 comfortable with spectacles/eye-glasses?? Does it hurt our ears ?? Thank you

Love mines they sound amazing and comfortable asf

Hoping to buy this soon

Love my XM3 and still use them today😎

Is the sound quality better or worse than Bose NC 700's. Because I love it's sound quality over Sony's XM3 & 4's.

In my country the Sony XM5s are 250 usd only instead of 400

Might get them during black friday , great review!

I like it but it doesn’t satisfy me with the volume part my qc45 are better in volume but these are a bit better in noise cancelling and sound quality I just wished they would’ve kept the 40mm speakers in it

Can these be connected wirelessly to the ps5?.

I have the three XB910N, XM4, and the 5's. Definetly I'd pick up XM4 and 4. 5 have the best NC ever, but the former have better design and head band.

Bose inspired box design :)

Do they feel more comfortable than the xm3?

I’m gonna keep using my XM4, still no complaints

What about a connection to the ps5 ?

Awesome unboxing and review!

Love your review👍🏿

These be lookin sorta 🔥🔥bossman

Can you charge it while using it? By the way good review and nice smile throughout the video.

I don’t get it. You have the apple headphones too. Why not compare the two with 1. Music quality and 2. Noise cancellation between the two.

Man I'm still enjoying my microsoft surface headphones. But I'm definitely tempting to get this new xm5's. Maybe around black Friday if they go on sale I may jump on them (doubt they will)

Hey I have a question I am trying to get more muscle and shoulders for basketball do you know any good chest and shoulder workouts for gains

Can't wait to try these

I wish they were sweat resistant headphones like for for workout use too

Damn these reviews came out hot!

I have a great experience with Sony XM5. Sound irrelevant, I like the grey shirt. where you got it?

AirPods max £429 in the UK these new Sony £399 - the Sonys look like you could knock someone over while wearing due to sticking out so much where the AirPods max look much cleaner and sleek

It's been 50 mins this video was uploaded but it didn't showed up in my subscription or channel videos section I was just scrolling through the playlist and found it Address the problem

Where is you backpack from? Looks nice, I liked!

Tried XM5's for two days and returned them, went back to XM4. New ones have auto NC optimizer which still hasn't been fixed. XM4 the best headphones because you choose how much NC you want and it stays like that. XM5's not recommended!

Still using my XM2 and they are working fine. No need to update yet 😂

Picked the silver ones.. They dont look as smudgy as the black ones do.. :) replaced the Bose 700 for me. And according to the manual the earcups are changeable, although not as convenient as the Airpods Max ones.

love the video! and all that you do! but iron your shirt my man haha

Should I buy the XM4 or the XM5 ?

What colour do you think is better? The black or the white stone colour??

SONY IS UNIQUE 💯

I've had the XM3s and XM4s. Maybe I can finally use Sony's for listening to ASMR at night without them being broken when I wake up?

i really hope that someone can calm down my fear for radtiation because seriously, i don't even dare to listen to music via bluetooth when my phone is on me.

I will be grabbing a pair of these 😵

I just got them. The noise cancellation seems really disappointing. Its more silent when its on ambient noise level 10. Any fix for this?

NFC? LDAC and Multipoint at the same time? Gaming?

charger comes with this or not ?

i own the 2s and damm have Ive been waiting for the 5s

@Karl Conrad - Do you think these are worthy of an upgrade from XM3?

Does this headphone completely isolates a gunfire noises near you cuz im planning to buy if this headphone can isolate that kind of noise?

Hey, do you think the XM4’s would fit neatly in that case?

I love my QC45!!

I just ordered the 1000xm4s literally a month ago.

I'm still using my AirPods Max, they are incredible but only if you're willing to spend the extra.

These things were a treat. Might end up snagging a pair as the new editing headphones 🔥

AirPods Pro Max are usually on sale from $450 to $479. At that price, which one is better?

Did they fix the issue with the touchpad not working in cold weather like the xm3?

Karl Conrad Are these nice & easy to connect to the PS5 ?

What an excellent reviewer

does anyone know of the aux cord powers the headphones?

This headphones can connect with the Playstation 5??

Does that 30 hours of playback include having the noise cancelling enabled?
