Just got my XM5 on release date here in Mexico. Two weeks later I have to return it because they keep loosing charge madly in rest mode. Gratefuly, I received a brand new pair today because of the guarantee. Thank you, Sony. I think. Great video, boys.
I was like "OMG" why do they keep randomly switching to my MacBook Pro? Then I just looked at the Sony app and while listening, I could see it switching back. TY so much that option is badly worded but it does work.
The 'Two Fingers' to Speak to Chat on/off is a game changer. I loved that facility, but found it a pain in the neck to fish my phone out when I wanted it on or off. (note: only had these excellent headphones for a week).
Ohhhhhhh!!!! I have speak to chat enabled(which I never use) , and everytime I start a work teams call with the headset, I cannot hear the other side the moment I start speaking. I'm only getting why now -_- Thanks so much! You really helped a lot.
You’ve helped me make a purchase and make that purchase of more value to me after I got it. For that I thank you and give you a sub, even tho I don’t suspect I’ll be watching a lot of headphone videos going forward. Thanks boys.
Great information and entertaining is hell. I laughed and laughed. Still loving the XM4 amongst my collection. I'm not sure I'll be adding the xm5 but we'll see if it price drops.
I have noticed on the XM4's that if I change the EQ using manual or custom it kinda turns the bass down, even if I turn the bass bar higher to try and match it, its not as rich and punchy as just leaving it on normal/default, have you noticed this?
With my XM4 I leave EQ on Sony's app off because my phone's built in EQ handles much better and if I tweak from Sony's app it dulls the sound, I think adjusting EQ from Sony's app adds an over processed sound profile on top of built in EQ.
The best way I found to get good sound on my XM5 is with CLEAR BASS set all the way down at -10, and all the eq bands in the middle (at zero). When it's set to 0 (in the center), it's already way too strong and makes the bass way too loud. Shut it all the way off, and you'd have the best possible sound.
@@datdudeinred The CLEAR BASS is the thing that messes up the mix. When I turn it all the way down the mix sounds good. The other eq bands are fine in the middle. If you like the overpowered bass @datdudeinred, enjoy. Each to his own. Over time, I've ended up turning up the high band one notch, and I like that.
@@ajcohen100 Ohh now I read the og comment again it makes sense that It's was referring to clear bass not eq. Ps i never said i like overpowered bass.
Each to his own I guess. But I don't think you're hearing what the mixing engineers had in mind. If you have a chance to listen to a song on "flat" monitors, and then the same song on on the headphones I think you'll see what I mean. By the way, I changed my settings: I still have CLEAR BASS at -10, but I have 6.3k set to 1, and 16k at 2. And the other bands at 0. To my ears, this sounds "flat," which I like because it allows me to hear what the artists and engineers were going for.
Best channel about headphones on CZcams for me. And I love that humour 😄. I am owner of sony wf1000xm4.. and bose qc45 (got them cheap..) and thinking about sony wh.. but still not convinced with xm5 over xm4 ( price to quality ratio )
@@DHRME that's what I mean like. Not a big caller anyway 😄 xm4 now often on a good sales. I'll wait anyway, bose doing good job so far (except app and eq.. :( )
Hey nice video. I just got my headphones and I’m comparing them to my Sennheiser momentum 4 I can say the momentum have hurt my jaw and I’m trying these to see if they’re better. When I receive a call when I’m wearing these Sonys, the caller ring and volume is very low. It’s so low that I can’t hear except the music stops so I know a call is coming in. Can anyone help me with this issue? Also speak to chat is great but it sometimes doesn’t go back to hearing music. I have to put my hand over the right cup and then i can hear the music again. That’s not right?
initially, I went into watching this video because I had just bought these headphones a few days ago and needed some pointers and clarification on a few things. But after fully watching the video, I had to subscribe y'all are too funny not too haha
How do you talk to someone using wh 1000 mx5 for a long periods of time? It seems to not allow it. I can only find two ways that you can talk to someone, using the right earcup or you start talking to them.
hi i love your videos. i have XM5. it bard new, i don't know you have maybe same problem. when I connected with Bluetooth it working fine but I connected XM5 with cable they sound terrible if headphones are ON, but if turn OFF and connect with cable it sounds like 20$ headphone like no clear sound. if you find something similar can let me Know what to do??
Hey! Thanks for the detailed and funny videos. Regarding the headphones, is there a mute button/control? That's the only thing I miss for my videoconferences.
goddamn what a great video even if you have no interest in the headphone you still enjoy the Karizma speach and the good jokes in no jokes fields goodwork
Sony messed up the fidelity since the xm3’s. XM2 is still the headphone of choice for me. Yes you got to subtractive eq and sweep a son wav to eq it as evenly as possible. But still the best imo.
Did anyone solve the teams call problem? - If you are connected on MS teams via XM5 and for some reason the call paused or the audio changed to speaker, it doesn't switch back to XM5 even if you change the device settings on teams.
I have very loud hispanic neighbors playing boom/plain music pretty severely loud, making it hard to study/hear video tutorials or lessons. Please recommend wired headphones (a mic is a plus) that block out the outside boom music/noise.
I used to get paid an embarrassingly large amount of money to solve problems (read instruction manuals) for lazy (illiterate?) corporations.

😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I cannot stop laughing, you guys! This was brilliantly done 👏 By far the most hilarious headphone-related video I have EVER seen 👍👍
I am still torn between XM5 and XM4 😅. I've been watching a lot of reviews, and lots of them, yet still hasn't been able to decide. These Sony headphones are so good bumy their own right ...
I went with XM5 because I combed through 100s of reviews for each and a common theme was that they're pretty equal for music, but the XM4 is sub standard for calls, so it depends on what you want them for. I use headphones for calls and music hence why I paid the little bit extra and went XM5
With the "fixing" option, Sony might be thinking of the definition of "fix" which is: *1.* _[with object and adverbial of place]_ fasten (something) securely in a particular place or position. or *2.* decide or settle on (a specific price, date, course of action, etc.).
Great video as always. Not a fan of the audio DB if it actually limits volume. I like my music loud at times and do not need another parent to tell me how to listen to music.
Ohhh yeah guys !!! Not sony !! Noooo…🤣 Ok, this morning i want to buy the best headphones (on ear) that money can buy under 1000$. Airpods pro? B&O H95? Technics ah800?

Xm5 Don't buy them... the headbands break in under 12 months and Sony won't replace their poor engineering , instead they expect you to pay another 60% on the original purchase price to get an 'upgrade' . Not to mention the other issues like, sound and mic dropping out mid call.. unit turns off even though fully charged... changing settings randomly and can only change it back on the app... go elsewhere.. Sony has created a really expensive disposable item

How is setting all the eq in the middle fixes overpowered bass? It's mids you turning down in turn making bass far more prominent & treble too.

That sounds horrible in my opinion i like clear bass up to 9 and then the eq kinda looks like a staircase

Awesome video guys! But right now I’m confused how I can turn on the “control pressure” setting for the XM4’s
With this new design, could the hinges loosen over time for taking them out and them putting them back on the case?
when we are over the call the surrounding sounds is huge to the other end caller than my voice. Is there any feature to correct this
Am I the only one who heard it "iPhone losers" instead of iPhone users? 2:38

Can Sony XM4 pairs the same as XM5 to previous paired devices?
It can pair to two decices, but doesn't have a device list in the app.
Sony messed up the fidelity since the xm3’s. XM2 is still the headphone of choice for me. Yes you got to subtractive eq and sweep a son wav to eq it as evenly as possible. But still the best imo.

What about connecting via NFC on the iphone? It works great on Android, but how does it on ios?
what custom eq do you use now?

With the "fixing" option, Sony might be thinking of the definition of "fix" which is:

or

Thanks for the meaning Garance, but shouldn't the menu item read 'fix device' and not 'fixing device'?
@@DHRME - or maybe "fixate on device" 🙂
Actually "fix on device" or "focus on device" would be best.
