    So both the Sony 1000XM5’s and AirPods Max are a pair of ANC headphones that have gotten a lot of hype during their initial release
 but I’m a little wary about recommending both of these headphones. Now I will be upfront, these are the top two headphones that block out the most amount of noise, and the AirPods Max sound really good. But both of these headphones do have underlying issues that I feel that you should know before you decide to pick either of these two headphones up.

    Great and detailed review! Just a side note, the transparency mode of the AirPods Max can be adjusted. It’s a bit convoluted and you need to enable Headphone Accomadations for AirPods and then enable “Custom Transparency Mode”. There you can adjust various factors including the amount of environmental noise let it.

    I went to a mall a few days ago to buy the xm5s to replace my xm3s. Unluckily for me there was an apple reseller on the way and I figured I'd stop because I had never handled airpod maxes before.
    Long story short I bought the apms, the build quality and anc fit my personal preference better. The xm5s felt like a toy in comparison.
    Hopefully I never find a store with B&O H95s.

    Speaking of annoyances, I use ANC headphones to protect my ears, and only listen at less than 35% volume of any headphones, even with open back I just close doors and windows for a silent environment . And I found that the AirPods Max has very noticeable white ANC noise floor when nothing is playing, and that exact noise floor changes its audibility when you move your head, like walking, standing up from a chair, or even just lean the head to left or right a tiny bit.
    With Bose, it has a noticeable noise floor embedded with the audio you are playing, especially audible in low volumes, but it disappears when you stop playing anything. Also some popping sound from time to time annoys me whenever you switch devices or even just play & pause from different audio sources (e.g. CZcams to Apple Music)
    Sony headphones, on the other hand, despite being physically very prone to becoming very hot due to lack of depth of the earpads, has NO popping issue , NO noticeable noise floor from either ANC itself or simple from playing audio in low volume.
    Of course, If you are used to play at 50% volume and up, you would not care about those little details.

    AirPods Max are still my top choice in this category. Comfort is subjective and yes the AirPods Max aren't the most comfortable for me but they are tolerable. The build quality is leagues above anything else. The ANC is excellent. The transparency mode is unmatched. The sound is neutral-warm, open and crystal clear. They look beautiful. They also offer the most seamless usability if you own Apple devices. They are expensive, but hey, you gotta pay to play.

      @Hotdog condom style Not in usability. AirPods Max are highly usable and sound excellent. Sennheiser Momentum 3's sound excellent as well but aren't anywhere near as refined and usable as the AirPods Max.

    • @TheGamingAudiophile
      @TheGamingAudiophile Pƙed 2 lety +3

      @Hotdog condom style It's the Momentum Wireless 3 that I am comparing the AirPods Max too. Also, AirPods Max are wireless noise cancelling headphones which are not comparable to open back headphones. Open back headphones are completely useless outside in noisy environments in which the AirPods Max is built for. Also, in terms of convenience and usability, the AirPods Max is far superior to any studio or open back headphone. Sound is subjective and some people may actually prefer the sound of the AirPods Max as well since it offers more bass.

    So many people desperately trying to justify their purchase decisions here. Everyone thinks the headphone they bought is the best.
    Give it a rest. Just because you bought some fancy new headphones for the price of a couple of good headphones, and is now feeling secretly guilty about buying it, doesn’t mean you need to seek validation from strangers on the internet. It doesn’t matter. Especially considering if you can afford any of this stuff, chances are your ears are no longer good enough to appreciate the nuances of their sound quality. Presbyacusis can cause high frequency hearing loss as early as your teenage.
    Basically, your hearing isn’t perfect. If something sounds good to you, all ot means is it sounds good to you. It will sound completely differently to everyone else. So enjoy whichever headphone you like listening to.
    All that being said, Airpods max at $550 is still daylight robbery.

    Airpod Max is a waste of money. I didn't notice a significant difference between XM5s and the 4s. So I believe you get a better deal by getting the 4s. I actually believe the 4s and the Bose QC45s are the best ANC headphones. I didn't notice a significant difference between the sound quality.

They manage to sound better while being cheaper, and include high quality codecs, a case, and a cable. They're also more comfortable, and have great builds as well. Their NC and ambient modes might not be the best, but are still more than usable.
