Dxee is basically hi res: ''DSEE uses complex calculations and predictions to make low-resolution files sound almost like High-Resolution Audio.''
Its probable not as good as Dsee ultimate, or DSD lvl of quality I would guess(if there is such on xm5).
I got premium dac's but none does what dsee from sony, wavy bass, which is more emphasized on these bass centric headphones, more hearable on ULT1, not sure how it is in other modes.
@@explodingheavens yep it’s an upscaler and it works well enough. Its max frequency response is listed as only 20khz though. It needs double of that to match Hi-Res FR specs.
Btw mode visualization was gear lol
@@explodingheavens 🤣
my body is ready. hope you can include the WH-CH720N in the review!
It's very important to mention that the ULT button settings are ALL USER DEFINED. The video gives the incorrect impression that you're stuck with that really boomy ULT2. You're not. You can set each of the three ULT button settings (off, ULT1, and ULT2) to whatever you want them to be, and use the button to easily toggle between your three chosen bass presets. That is the selling point of this model, and everyone who is thinking about getting them needs to understand this. I've seen barely any reviewers actually point this out. They make it seem like ULT1 and ULT2 are non-changeable bass boosts that you're stuck with as the only 2 options for the button. Not accurate. Make ULT2 be Clear Bass +1 if that's what you want it to be.
ULT2 sounds like a car speaker with the bass cranked up lol
it was intended to reach that level tho .. soooo technically , it is a success.. LMAO
Blue Laces 2 certified, IYKYK
@@Wh1t3F4c3 he gonna blown away by this.. I cannot wait x'D
Literally me listening to this in my car with my bass turned up 🤣
And i love it
I never get tired of your dyson fan microphone tests
Thank you!
Thanks for the great review. The website was really helpful!
Thanks for the review!!! 🎉
You’re welcome!
Dear goodness Aaron! Sony ULT Bass from the sound quality samples is insane!!!!!
Epic bass srsly
Thanks for your review on these. I bought a pair today along with a second pair of XM4’s.
Thanks for this review & great example made very clear.
You’re welcome!
i was looking at these by coincidence earlier today and your review was the first that popped up ehen i search. good review 👍
Looking good, Aaron! even though im not in the market for any headphones, it's nice of you to keep me updated on these great finds
You're most welcome!
Awesome review. Will probably pick up the XM5 refurbished only because of voice isolation during phone calls in noisy places
Is Sony finally looking back at us bass heads? It's been so long since we got a bit of love from Sony, but these headphones are here for us. I'm so happy! I cannot wait to buy them, I think for the first time, the price would be 100% worth.
Personally I hate extra bass. The professionals who mixed and mastered all this music know what they're doing so I don't really think we should be adding a bunch of bass lol modern music already has a ton of bass as it is
But I also listen to different music maybe and I'm a musician so maybe I'm being snob
9:29 I laughed so hard at this part. Love how your head banging increases with every EQ preset😂👍. Love it❤
Awesome XD
Is bass comparable with the Skullcandy Crusher Anc 2?
You have absolutely become my favorite peripheral reviewer for your (ab)use of objecticivity mixed with a tint of your own subjective opinion - in such a stylized/analytical and not to mention funny way nonetheless! 😂🤩
Thank you 😂
Good review, thanks
No problem 👍
My cousin would LOVE this pair .... ULT2 sounds exactly like his Car's subwoofer.. LMAOOOO
😂
Nice review! I like the new Bass button. Can you compare this heapdhone with the whch720n? I'm really curious about which one have a better ANC. And if the ult wear better, how much is the difference between these two!
I'm a BASS head and your reaction when wearing it makes me happy. I hope this feature comes with the M6. Now that you want to relax, BASS is the last thing you think about when you're relaxing, so it's good to have variable options.
I have them, they balance the bass and sound equally. Making them sound like subwoofers with amps. They don't have the problem that the xb910's had where at volume 80, the bass is loud but everything else is kind of quiet, but past volume 80 it's vice versa.
@@jaykami2474 Often when listening to quiet music, the sound is low or high in the middle. This is because the elements have good ANC, so it is important to remove the variable BASS. There is EQ, but imagine how many times you will change it a day, it will be annoying.
Yeah, a basshead who turns down the BASS ( to relax)
What do you call it when someone just wants it to sound as neutral/accurate as possible? A flat head? Is a flat head. I don't think I know better than mixing and mastering engineers so I never mess with EQs unless the headphones have a real deficiency
@MML66 well also there is a phenomenon where at lower volumes bass and treble are quieter. I forget what it's called but it's why some gear has loudness correction of some sort
Does your ears vibrate during ULT2 mode? I missed that feeling in some of the old school headphones
Great and much on time video for me! Thank you a lot Good Sir! 6:46
Very welcome!
I've been waiting for a long time for bass head headphones, because I used to have the Skullcandy Crusher Evo, and I didn't have any replacement after I sold it
Hi Rikukona, what was the reason you sold your skullvandy crusher Evo? Because I have one now.. I asked for inanse bass , and oh boy this insane. The problem with skullcrusher for me, its sometimes to much overwelming.. If I shuffle the bass button like 2mm above its moooore then enouhg holy fuck, its like sitting between 4 subwoofers from 1000watt. The whole set litarly shakes.. But for techno en elctro is the ulitmate headset in my opinion.. Heavy metal is awesome but the balance between the bass en voice / guitars isnt what I want.. Tried like 5 differect eq defaults. Do you think this headset will be better ? I want BASS , but I also need voice and high tones. I miss balance in de skull headsets. I going try this headset and hope this will be the one 😂😂😂
@@JelleBelle11 Sorry for the late reply. Yes, as you mentioned, the issue for me is that the low bass is too rumbling for my ears and it lingers too long. Now, I prefer a fast, punchy bass. I enjoy EDM a lot, such as Andromedik, Deadmau5, and Avicii. Currently, my daily go-to is the IEM 7HZ Legato because of its bass quality. However, I now want to switch back to headphones with more bass. I've come across a new one called the Sonic Lamb headphone, which claims to have a built-in subwoofer. I'd like to try this headphone, but unfortunately, I can't find it for sale in my country. So, after hearing about this Sony Ult Wear, I really, really want to give it a try. I wish I had the money for it, haha!
@@rikukona3632 I have tried this Sony ULT headseat pureBass... Boy i
I am sooooo dissapointed...Attack bass ? Wt***..I like Sony a lot , dont get me wrong... But using words like pure bass and attack bass...Itsjust a commericial trick..I alreay send him retour...Not paying 200€ for that..So back withy Skull now. Deadmau 5 ,awesome dude. I like them a lot. So the headset you mention is not for sale ? Or just too expensive ? Can you tell me more about it ? Thank you a lot
Wondering how they are compared to the v-moda crossfade 3 wireless sound vise. The crossfade dont have anc though. But are very durable. Lots of metal parts.
Need comparison with accentum plus ,my suggestion 🙌
Ult wear
Not a bass guy myself.
But I keep learning.
Was really curious if the Ult 2 mode would make me dance like that also. (mhuhahaha)
Love the creativity! 😁😁
Thanks! If you're a basshead it definitely would lol
Can you suggest which one should I get between this and Sennheiser accentum plus?
how do these compare to skull cady crusher evo
hahahaha you look so cute aaron with the head banging movement!
😅
Can I use the ULT option wired or is it only wireless? Thank you!
More bass? Im sold.
I currently own XM5 headphones, but one part where I can't agree is, the heat building up from the cushions compared to XM series, because even the XM series builds heat after an hour of usage or so, and its doesn't look good for such premium headphones 11:02 . My suggestion, if you are worried about heat building up because of the cushions, no headphone is different, just go with the one that fits with your needs rather than price.
If you connect the headphones to AUX will the ANC still work?
Bonus question: what about the WH 1000XM5 and XM4?
How are the hinges. We don’t need a repeat of the Sony wh1000-xm4.
I’m actually shocked that the ULT off mode is a shockingly tame sound which is odd for Sony.
Is this Sony turning a corner to compete with audiophile phones? Man an XM6 that would get 95% of the performance of a Focal, Bowers and Wilkins, B&O H9 at $399? Would be a steal
Should I get the ult or xm4?
Ult wear vs Xm4 which should I get ??
Crazy thing(like good crazy lol) about these headphones is, you can boost highs in app and it will sound great.
I'm used to listen bass and loud ones sometimes using powerful amp, with xm4 hitting limit just at medium volume from that view.
Funny thing is you can listen to anything on these ult wears, without worry even with tamed bass, you won't hit the limit.
As opposed also to samples from these I listen to now, my headphones just can't take that beating XD.
ANC felt good, also graph says about constant -25dB to -40dB highs, with more cut mids, but not very low bass, and I felt it now, xm3/xm4 are still leading in that sense.
So when purchasing it would be either less background noise or limitless bass, but even if its obvious bass choice for me, ultwear got some serious ANC bass aside, nothing like xb910n which didn't cover any bass.
Whats interesting tho is impedance when jack is used and headphones are on or off, off 32ohm, on 100+ohm, or something similar, sounds clearly to push that bass.
Whats interesting tho, EQ is quite dark, but not too much, I've seen worse. It feels quite raw tho, like ''cheap'' headphones, I mean - without any tuning. You basically have to tune them up to sound good.
They’re very versatile indeed. I don’t regret buying them.
I absolutely love the bass. Sounds better than my crusher anc2 and soundcore q10!
soundcore Q10 ? what is that lol
Crusher more to a fake bass .. this one's a CLEAN sub bass
@@user-qn1zj5bs5p never heard of soundcore? you're missing out
@@user-qn1zj5bs5p Its a $40 bass cannon. Second only to the xb900 in terms of pure bass
Giving a like just for the head banging at the 9th minute 😂
Thanks for the like 😅
They seem a bit to big... Idk if I can walk around with it. The XM4 for me is the best size and fit. Mine broke recently (my fault) so I'm looking for a new one. I wish they made this one a bit smaller tho, would've been a perfect replacement.
I WANT MORE BASSSS!!!!!
i don't mind Sony's idea here but they started the bass boost way too high in the frequency range. i think they should have ramped it up below 80hz. it just muddies the sound otherwise. ULT off is actually not a bad looking curve.
Great review as usual. Too much bass for me 😬, more suitable for a car. I do agree xm4 are still a better choice if plenty of bass is not a requirement
Biggest question is how it compares to the xm4s
watching this on my XB-910N. Sony really cares about bassheads.
I am still rocking my WH-XB900Ns which where and are still a great pair of bass enthusiasts headphones without going overkill like the Skullkandy Chrusher.
Because I was disappointed in the XB910n headphones since they were reported to have around 20% less bass I skipped those.
Now that Sony has something new for this nieche to offer I would really like to know how they compare to the XB900n and XB910n because I am lookong for an upgrade of mine.
The noise canceling on my XB900n is somewhat uselessness and if the ULT WEAR delivers on the NC capability while providing better bass than the XB900n I am definetly going to buy the ULT WEAR headphones.
How do i turn on/off the Mic while being on a call?
They are not ip rated. But cn the still handle sweat and be used at the gym? 😅🤔
bass guy myself, into rap, hip hop, trap, EDM so all should work well. ULT 2 definitely too much bass as from other reviews and yours I got the idea like its car speakers that when too much its distorted. Will consider it but will want to watch your next comparison video to get a better idea
Please if you could review the Edifier Spirit Stax S5. its already being sold in China and Japan. I cant see any reviewer of this headphones, its the only BT headphones using PLanar magnetic driver similar to Crinaccle blessing 3
Ult 2 is the way to go for me
Would u recommend this over the xm4 for 100 bucks?
Any conclusion?
Can anyone help me compare the sound quality and features between the ULT and the first gen AirPod pros? I have the Pros but have been looking for a good over ear set of headphones for my traveling.
Hey Aaron which earbuds would pick for iphone since it only supports AAC.
I only care about the sound quality and not anything else.
-Senheisser MTW 3-4
- Sony WF XM4- XM5
- Jabra Elite 85t
- Samsung Buds Pro
- Airpods Pro 2
for sound quality, go for jabra or sony xm5, they wont disappoint at all
This vs the crusher anc 2?
ULT vs Skullcandy crusher evo...... Who win ?
lol
I wasn't expecting for new Sony release. I'm very surprised with this new Sony headphone.
Even so I'll wait for the xm6 hoping it will come foldable and offering manual ANC control as the xm4. Those are the points that stopped me to buy the xm5.
Btw, Rurouni Kenshin?
Aye, Rurouni Kenshin 😂
Thanks for your updated videos keep it coming im still trying to figure a headphones to get
ULT 2 must have a lot of bass if it's too much for bass heads like you.
How does the ULT button on the headphones work? Does it toggle on-off (with on-level being set on a phone), or does it cycle through bass 0-1-2 ?
It cycles through 0-1-2
@@aaronloudnwireless 👍
Can you help me i have a small heads i try the sony xm4 and its was a little loose i need a tighter fit or better clamp do you recommend this?
Yea this clamps tighter
I have a slight feeling that this might be a little hint on what the XM6 design language will look like, hinting that it might also have folding earcups again... we can only wait
Folding earcups ftw!
They would be smart to use this ULT design for XM6... they fixed the hinge breaking problem with the XM4 (when they swiveled, there was a non-round piece that would stick out and not be flush against the rest of the round headband piece, which would get caught on things and cause breakage... now with the ULT, it's all flush with the rest of the headband as it swivels). They should use this same foldable design, but with more premium plastic for the XM6.
Does anyone know how the Ult Wear compares to the ATH-M50xBT2? They are both about the same price.
Give me a good equaliser settings for ULT 2
When it will available for india
I've read reviews saying the headphones support LDAC. Are you sure it doesn't?
Yup they actually do. Thanks for pointing it out.
when can i see sony xm6
Sony ULT WEAR vs JBL Live 770NC for micro quality?
Is it good enough for air travel?
Oh yes
this or momentum 4 on discount @$380? fellow sporean
Sony ULT WEAR or Sennheiser Accentum Plus?
I’m wondering the same thing. Hope there are reviews comparing the two soon
Seems like they filter human chatter even better than the xm5? Can that possibly be true? That would be amazing for office workers...
XM5 still a bit better as far as I can tell
Which one looks good black or white ??
Bro is it fair to compare AirPods Pro 2nd gen with Xm4 or Momentum 4 ?? Which one is good ??
Hey there. I own a pair of AirPods Pro 2nd Gen and a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3, which are very similar to the XM4.
First of all, I personally think the XM4 is better than the Momentum 4 in every way. Especially when it comes to Noise-Cancellation.
The XM4 and AirPods Pro 2 are very different products, and thus have very different strengths. I would honestly recommend that you buy both if you can afford it.
The AirPods Pro 2 are extremely comfortable. You can wear them all day and barely notice you are wearing them. They have good sound and a bit of Noise Cancelling ability. The AirPods Pro 2 are great for when you're exercising, or casually listening to something on your computer at home, or to use when you either get fatigued or too hot from wearing over ears after a while.
The XM4, being over ears, have vastly better Noise Cancelling compared to the AirPods Pro 2. Vastly better. I would prefer to use these in a noisy office environment or in busy public spaces. They also have significantly better sound than the AirPods Pro 2. You will hear details in songs that you know that you have never noticed before. However, they can easily slip off of your head when exercising, can put a bit of pressure on your ears, and can get hot after a while. They're generally very comfortable, but not at all in the way that the AirPods Pro 2 are comfortable to wear.
@@YeahWellShutUp thank you 🙏🙏
@@YeahWellShutUpxm4 better then then momentum4 in every way. Not really. Bass is better then xm4 without being too overwhelmed. The momentum4 win for me compared in Sound. Own both since 14 months
Does it have more bass than the xb910
Potentially yes
He mentioned upcoming video comparing both, keep tuned.(also will add xm5 to comparison) or so I heard at beggining of video....
So this is actually the XB920, just not branded as such to counter the people who complain that Sony's model names aren't snappy and memorable.
It's about time
Fack I just got those wh-1000xm5 should I recommend getting these better ?
yes this one is much better
@@user-qn1zj5bs5p got them a few week. Worth itttttt
Great video but , As expected, boomy and bloated bass. Have you tried the focal bathys for review? Since it is also a wireless headphone.
Thanks! I've actually tried it at a store. One of the crispest, tightest wireless headphones I've tried. Just wasn't sent one to review
@@aaronloudnwireless focals are famous for mainly 1 thing … dynamics.
Hmm interesting
Sony 's headphones is an answer to the skull candy' s models
Sony would actually do better to release an XM5 Ultra headphone.
The problem with bluetooth headphones, and I suppose earbuds as well, is that you are basically forced to choose between top of the line ANC and top sound quality.
If you want top ANC, you have buy Sony or Bose. If you want great sound, you must buy Senheiser, B&W, Bang & Olufsen, etc. You basically can't get both in one product.
Sony knows how to make great sounding products. They have decades of experience with amps and speakers.
They can easily make a headphone that rivals the brands mentioned above in terms of sound quality with their S tier ANC, comfort and charge $600. I'm pretty sure there would be many many takers for such a product.
Will this headphone beat Crusher ANC 2 bass?
These replace the xb910n not the xm4. Xm5 replace the xm4 just look at the model name ult900
Thank you but dis headphone not for me I don’t want to bass like love mx4 headphones 🎧
To me the XM4 is good enough for me and I'm a BASS ZOMBIE
I am having a very hard time discerning a difference between these an the XB910 besides it looking slightly better asthetically and having a wear sensor.
The mic and ANC don't seem much better if at all. Hard to say if transparency is improved. In any case im not seeing the point of refreshing this product really.
What's the name of the mall you're walking inside of?
so it's literally skull rattling
when can i see xm6😂😂
I’m also waiting for the xm6. Hhahahaah.
this would lead people to hear loss, lol
dont forget to turn off STABLE VOLUME ‘off’ on youtube…
Pass. Too much bass gives me ear fatigue :(
what a banging hahaha..👍
😂
blow nose, hard to listen, after firmware fck up batery to my WF-1000XM4 I fk ahead SONY
Next overpriced piece of plastic junk.
I would be more interested in seeing the Sony ULT Wear being compared to the Sony WH-1000XM4, as these two devices are very comparable in price.
Furthermore, many still prefer the sound profile and constant noise-cancellation of the M4 over the M5, and it would be interesting to get your take on how the ULT Wear model compares to both the M4 and M5.
Iem ear buds are still better sony equal over priced.
