Sony WH-1000XM5 vs Sony WH-1000XM4 // Is this Upgrade WORTH IT? 

That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!! I have the xm4s since preorder days and was waiting for the xm5s to come out this year, but now I'm just thinking about getting the airpods max since I use macos and ios for the most time, idk

I do aswell I feel like the Xm5s are funny looking and they look huge on ur head

samee

they look same as all the older models though. Much more modern look now

No upgrade for me. I'll keep my 4s

No, I agree. I just want to replace my xm4s because they are old. I may just rebuy the same ones. The 5s are so ugly.

@@jamiesmith2724 They’re on sale right now, just rebuy XM4’s, amazing headphones.

@@jamiesmith2724 should've just bought a 3 year plan from Asurion LLC, ez free replacement

You bet it’s way better ✌🏿

@BlazNovak thank god I got the XM4’s then on a deal to with warranty for 2 years 😁

I was planning to do the same. Gift my current MX4s to family and "upgrade" to the MX5s, but having second thoughts.

Where is it 278 I’m only see 349?

@@kristinathorne1924 they were on sale but it appears that they have gone back up in price 🙁. They tend to do that though so just keep your eyes open!

@@danielmaciver8416 I just missed it 🥲

Really where? Not on Amazon or Best Buy

​@@serena_bee holiday sale or something

i fully get your point and i am also very upset about that, but ive had the jbl tour ones wich wouldnt react to water at all

Thank you

in denmark the price difference is 200+ dollars... so yeah.. going to be an easy choice

How do u upgrade it?... I mean what's the process

@@echolimadelta You buy it. There's no 'upgrade' process. You just purchase the headphones lol

any updates? xm4 or xm5?

Thats why you check rumors

@@giofurla Even though there where no rumors, it seems it just popped out of no where but even though it's a good headphones so upgrade is way beyond due.

I still have my xm2

Neither of them are sweat resistant, you'd be fine if you only lift weights with it on unless if you're the type of person to sweat alot but most definitely not recommended when doing intense cardio.

you can change a setting in the app so that it doesn't do that

Agreed also I know ppl hate cuz they’re not cool anymore, but Beats have amazing bass.

You do know phones can Charge from 0-100 in 15 minutes, it's believable

Yeah I don't believe 3 mins of charge give that.. I've charged mine for 25 mins and got up to 70 percent from 20%

wondering the same thing!

Just ordered the xm4s from costco. Hope it was the right move 🤞

@@moosethefam me too LMAO .

honestly just save the money, if you arent a headphone connoisseur or needing them to be as high performance as possible, the xm4 are good value for what you get.

u damn Canadian LOSER 😄

They are $199 today. I just bought them. Hope they are worth it!

If you want neutral go bose. I was lucky enough to buy both a few years ago of the xm3 xm4 and bose qc35ii and bose 700. Neutral crisp clarity ie as close as you can get to reference sound quality in amc headphones. Sadly bose is better. I love my sonys for certain things, but as he shows with the xm4 series. the xm means xtremly muddled audio quality for calls. They added more mics and its still under par

xm3 and xm4 are a lot warmer sounding. if you want the bass i dont care what it says on paper the older models just seem better?

I didnt understood this sound comparising because I used Custom EQ on both XM5 and 4 and they sounded exactly the same

@@RoMusic2011really, I’ve been looking for that answer bc everyone says the XM5’s sound better but is that just bc the default eq is different?

Yes i was thinking the same🤔

I have the same exact headphones, but the right ear is now kinda loose contact with the audio wire inside since a very slight head tilt would cause its sound to dissapear on and off. Just 5 days ago I finally got the xm4s due to these reasons 1. more compact than xm5 2. has NFC, I use it alot 3. in tests, it shows it has better sound quality than xm5 but the xm5 has more soundstage 4. the ANC of the xm5 is sometimes overly intelligent (as per xm5 users) 5. mic quality is still ok for use, not too behind from xm5 6. price, its cheaper 7. it has dual connectivity that the xb900n doesnt have (one of the main reason why i want to upgrade a tier higher) 8. stocks/supply is getting low since its not the latest model.

@@jowieonithow is the bass on the xm4’s

@@acesolo8688 x4 bass on the xb900 is like x10 bass on the xm4s

I have WH-XB900N and now XM5. I can tell you that in terms of Base XB900 is better. XM5 is better in every other department. I really like fast charging and comfort. XB900 is too heavy to wear for long.

Your comparing an in ear earphone vs over the ear. Two diferent techs mate. its like comparing these in boise cancellation vs a free pair of airline foam earplugs. The free earplugs win in every scenario, also if your really after audio quality you dont buy Bluetooth nor active noise cancelling headphones. Its like listening to mozart play live with a guy reving a jet Turbine beside him... the introduced noise floor ruins sound quality.

I’m a big dude with a big head and the m4s fit with extra space to get bigger so it should be good for most people

Way way better than a normal persons opinion...

🤔

Personally, i would go for the xm5s for the microphone quality. The case isn’t even that much bigger and it’s pretty skinny. The noise cancellation as well is better for trains.

Yes

Bro from where

@@kristi8296 I can't say lol

@@ericvil600 gatekeep 😭

@@ericvil600 come onnnnnn

I’m guessing you work for bestbuy and got a discount

Why?

Peak Design

@@ChristianVaughn thank you!

How come?

Before they changed the title, it was xm5 vs xm5. Which is supposed to be xm5 vs xm4.

What about the noise cancellation? I'm trying to do research before I buy a pair

Look il put it bluntly. everyone likes to be the one with newer better, i did it too. But unless you are literally sitting there deliberatly trying to notice the diference with zero music on, theres no noticable real world diference. Ive tried them on two flights xm4 vs xm5 im going on a 14 hour flight in a few weeks and will try them both one each way and see but if you have ANY music on , theres no way to tell a noticable diference. and lets be honest if you really wanna block the noise, you can always wear free foam earplugs and they block 10x more noise for free. last 14 hour flight back in 2019 i actually wore foam earplugs with my sony xm3s over the top and it was a beautiful comfortable experience that was on a 747 in a noisy seat. dreamliner the other way i just wore the xm3s and was happy. The xm4 are a good compromise without forking over so much for barely any noticable diference. Especially with the xm4 getting cheaper everyday. And like i said elsewhere if you flip the xm4 around backwards ie left on right right on left. the sound quality improves ever so slightly for calls.

But what i say and everyone else be dammed, go try them one by yourself without taking your money or wallet and walk away after trying both. Go back again another day and try again, i tried doing that amd ended up with the xm3s and the bose qc35ii and the bose 700s and xm4 and recently and only because i can use them for work ie tax deductable the xm5 . all good headsets.

I think you didn't hear this

They are at 220 and I still can't decide which to buy damnnn

I just bought the XM4 on Amazon for 228 + tax = 251, I think it’s a good price for what you get.

Look they are still fantastic headphones, but the call quality is absolute shite. Wait untill your need to talk with them and the other person is like what? i cant hear you? you sound really far away? am i on speaker? etc. But there is hope, wear them backwards ie l on right right on left and the stupid rear facing mic holes are ever so slightly closer to your mouth and slightly improve the call quality. slightly.

Can you connect the xm4 to pc via cable?

mx5 has a better microphone and I can hear a difference in the ANC compared to the 4
