For me its "Excited" preset, 16k +10, Clear Bass +10, now the crispness and bass is just phenomenal. I will never understand why someone would make these headphones sound like a tin can by choosing something like "Mellow" or "Relax", better buy a cheap pair of headphones then.
Oh my God, i used your settings and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH NOW!! Thank you 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@peachylover4598 Glad I could help. I guess we now have another official Sony fan 😁🎉
@@j1shin damm its pretty good just got my xm4 today sooo happy 😊😀
Those settings make a difference. Thanks man.
Do you leave all other at regular?
I only got to half way through the video before I just got lost listening to all of my favorite songs because they sound AMAZING now! Thank you!
Thanks for making this so simple! I had, for the longest time, settled for Bright, but being more informed, I've taken your settings and modified them for day and night, especially when I'm listening to genres like punk and indie rock, it just feels fuller. And at night, I can mellow the vocals whilst feeling the range of vocals still. I didn't realise it would be so simple.
Glad it helped!
Although my final EQ looks different than yours now, the information you provided helped me to intelligently use this tool to find greater clarity in my genre of music. Thank you for your tips.
Glad it helped! Also please subscribe too if you haven't already! 😁
I wasn't impressed with the sound...then I used the custom settings and now my xm3's sound amaaaaaazing,now I'm impressed and very happy
Glad the settings helped 😉
Agreed. Shame the 1000 xm2 doesn't have multipoint for me to use while adjusting connected to multiple sources. Apps on phone.
Sound sharper and punchier though, clearer without noise canceling. Thanks Aaron!
Also I'm finding dsee useless for techno on CZcams. Maybe you can cover it.
This video was excellent! I have always been confused as to how to adjust the equalizer band controls. Everything I have read was over my head. I understood your presentation on the first watch. I am so appreciative. You do have a teaching talent. Thanks Nick 😊
Great video as usual mate. Keep up the great content. I will need to reference this video as soon as I get my hands on a pair of these headphones
Very good video. You did a fantastic job at explaining how to dial in the EQ settings to your own liking.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Much appreciated!! :)
Thank you for making understanding EQ easier and simpler!
This helped me explore custom EQs over presets. Getting ready for my coming digital audio player!
I am glad that I got the 1000 m4 this is the best. Owner manual that I had ever seeing thank you 🙏 this for sure will help thousands and thousands of people considering the high demands
Thanks for the video! Love the explanation and the run through
Watched ur great videos... thanks for the informative videos....picked up XM4 today.
Even after all this time, it still works !!!
Thanks you guy
Thank you so much! You explained it so simply, i could finally understand :)
Thanks for the tips. I used the "Find Equaliser" feature and ended up, after a couple of manual tweaks, with 0/0/+2/+4/+6. Took your suggestion for clear bass on +1 though. :) Now I can blast my metal even more effectively.
Hi Aaron, have you covered the sound quality when connected with the cable instead of bluetooth? with and without ANC on? thanks!
Thanks a lot Aaron for bringing this video. My new XM4 sounded very flat and bland out of the box until I started to play with the EQ. The DSEE extreme settings also helps in uplifting the music increasing the clarity and crispyness. Overall brilliant tutorial for non-audiophiles like me. Love yours honest and detailed headphone reviews
XM4 are muddy and bassy, if you'd ever hear a decent pair of really FLAT headphones I'm pretty sure you'd tell they're broken.
@@DogSeamus gj replying to an 1y old comment with your nonsense.
@@DogSeamus hey pedantic ass. they’re likely using “flat” to describe it sounding lifeless instead of having a neutral sound sig/freq response.
they DID say they aren’t an audiophile. they’re using this as a guide to make it even more “exciting” or heavily V-shaped.
Thanks! I use your settings but keep 400 at -2 or -3, 6.3k at -2, and clear bass at 0. For me I like bass to be a little less dominant.
Aaron. A very big thank you for your videos on XM3 and XM4. So helpful. I now get a lot more pleasure out of my headphones thanks to you. Tom
Thanks! Great to hear!
Hi Aaron, thanks for the video - it was really helpful. I recently got the WH-1000XM4 and the cushion feels more plush than the previous one - Hope it is more durable. I just wanted to ask if i can use cleaners like "whoosh - screen cleaning liquid" to gently clean the earpads? It contains no alcohol and is ammonia free as well. Would be great to hear your opinion on this. Also, in places for e.g. in US and Canada, i believe original earpad replacement can be purchased from OEM ( the partners are listed on sony website). I checked in with the customer support team at Sony and they said these are original earpad replacements. Thank you!!
Thanks Aaron. Excellent video as always and very good explanation on how to tune EQ! Funny - I tried your custom settings and boy they are not for me. I tune in to Bright and then tweak Clear Bass to 0 and I am loving the sound of these XM4s that way. Different strokes for different folks..
great setting you found
I can’t wait to upgrade. Awesome video.
After much consideration i just bought the sony wh-1000xm3 loving it right now i was pike let’s spoil my self once because its my 16 Birthday and ingot a B on my semester soooo yeah love it thanks for your review
Question: if the fink already have a few, I put that all in zeroes or I turn it off directly?
Sony should hire you at this point love this content 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I normally don't comment on yt vids but i have to here, THANK YOU! You helped me soo much... thanks for sharing with us
Glad I could help!
Hello, I just got the mx4 and I feel like the base is lacking. I'm using at +8-10 base boost and I'm still a bit disappointed with the bade "punch". I'm starting to feel like there is something wrong with my ears or the unit. Not sure now to compare or know if they are faulty.
Great video, I just got them black Friday 🔥
Hi Aaron, great video. Not sure if you still recall in XM3 having a annoying audible clicking sound. Would you be able to test if Sony has solved the issue with XM4.
Much appreciate your responses
Thanks
These settings are great! Thanks
This was beyond helpful
Thanks for the recommendation.
This helped me so much. thank you man.
You’re welcome!
Yo actually helped a lot man sounds really good now almost returned them
I’ll try it I’ve always liked Bose something about these headphone the fit and and built materials aren’t on par with Bose. Been debating on returning them. I will almost The Sony headphone so have a lot of settings. I’ll will give it a try.
I'm gonna give this a shot too then, cause I just did a side by side comparison between these and my original Sennheiser Momentums, and I'm debating exchanging the Sonys for the Momentum 3
Tf sony by far are better then bose 700’s
@@Justgambleit nah bro not these a lot of base there not bad but not better then Bose Bose sound more loud and cleaner the song sound far with the vocals and the base drowns them
exactly i opened the box expecting better sound than i’ve ever heard and it was quiet and not that good
Thnx a lot....very helpfull video 🙏👍
Great video, thanks a lot!
Hi @Aaron is Loud and Wireless, Thank you for the video, it was really helpful, but I do have one question left: do you have any recommendations when using the Dolby Atmos: Auto settings on the Samsung Tab S7+ concurrently with the Sony Connect app using LDAP protocol. Should I disable the Dolby Atmos Auto settings as a whole or edit the Dolby atmos settings to use custom EQ settings as well?
Great video, thanks man
Hi i have a question please answer.
I have this headphones and i have a problem . Have u the same issue with max volume and anc on? I have bass distortion with some tracks...but i have this problem with ANC on only. With sony wh-h900n the same. Have u the same problem? Try please the track Boris Brejcha - gravity. From space diver album. Please help me thank you
Very informative ! Great
Hi is there way to make sound quality better, I'm getting complaints from people that the call sounds muffled from my end.
thank you, very helpful!
Just picked up these headphones today and thank you very much for your detailed explanation of equalizer.
Please!! Tell eq settings to make sound of xm4 like xm3. (Me don’t enough bass in xm4)
You such a great guy in how you do this
Problem with xm4 with spotify max volume and anc on. Bass peak (distortion) have u the same problem? No eqs
Thanks for the video! but your preferred sound signature is so so different from mine :D very enlightning no doubt.
Glad you still found this video helpful! Please subscribe too if you haven't already 😁
Do you think I can get better sound when they are connect with a cable with a type c adapter?
I went for the Harman curve eq and they sound so much better and not as bright and front feeling as other popular equalizer settings. Try it and compare! 0, 4, 6, 2, 0 clear bass - 1/0
Best purchase decision thanks to this channel and all those comprehensive reviews!
are the settings baked into the headphones so they stay as my custom setup is wired mode on a different device or no?
What type of music did you use these EQ settings for ?
do you know about battery handling? I've heard that it's best for the battery life to keep it at 20-40% on the lower end and 80 on the upper. First I don't know if that's right and second it's difficult to charge it to 80 over night - so actually I hope 100% isn't much of a problem ;) - fun fact: I had to return my first xm4 because after ~30 I noticed that they didn't charge no matter how i tried (laptop, pc, mobile charger, power bank) - got an instant exchange at the store
Great! Now can you do it for the Airpods Max? I just bought one and the out of the box sound isn't really my liking
thank you so much for your explanations I have the Sony wf 1000xM4 headphones and I had a big concern about the perception of sound, that I had on any style of music that on dynamic rap dance music, and with your balanced method I realize that it changes radically, but question and how to adapt for more calm music like classical music, the bass part I have to put it to-5? i ask you this question because I don’t have an ear to train, and I’m a beginner. the advantage with 100% analog headsets and dap you don’t have too much concern in equalization because if you choose your listening equipment according to your tastes you go through these adjustment methods. for Sony has the best app in the world. hello!
Hey Aaron the spectacles we wear will damage ear cushions or not and it is annoying to wear spectacles with wh 1000xm4 . How you wear them easily 😅
Hi, excellent tutorial video.
What is you also have EQ settings in you music app like PowerAmp ? Which EQ takes precedence ? The Music App EQ or the Headphone App EQ >
What is the best setting for using it with my TV? I have a little lag. When i play Playstation it gets obvious. Who can help?
Thanks, Aaron!
I got the WF-1000XM4 awhile ago to use with my Android phone/travelling. I decided to get the WH-1000XM4 for hm laptop(pc) few days ago. I couldn't find anywhere to get the features which the Sony Connect App has for for my Android phone. Is there a way which I can use those features(fr Sonny Connect App) for my WH-1000XM4 on my laptop? Thank you, Aaron!
my question is, i listen to music with spotify, so im wondering if i only should use the offical sony eq settings or should i also mess around with the spotify eq
Great video man
Thank you! And I appreciate your viewership!
These eq settings remain the same even when u switch over to hard wired mode on the XM4?
Thank you for sharing video buddy.
No problem 👍
Hi i saw this vid and im concerned because i really like to look of xm5 but i don't like the muddy deep sound in Sony, i prefer bose or b&o sound bright and clear. So does Eq settings really change sony to same level as bose or b&o? Or it just help a little. Pls delight me haha
Damn Really like you eq settings sound alot better with these
I found it trash :D amazing how different sound preferences can be from one person to the next.
Great video as always. What does the Sony equalizer due in between adjustments? For example 401 HZ to 999 HZ? Is it linear?
the Q (bell pattern) is quite big it does raise around a lot
A great video for xm4 equalizer!
Hey you please confirm if the ear cushions are user-replaceable.
What is better in sound quality wh-1000m4 or sennheiser momentum 2 ?
I knew that is no comparison between headphone and earbuds
?
Whenever I listen to videos with people talking or UI sounds in games the headphones peak out and make tiny little pops. I set my EQ to speech (turns 16k frequencies all the way down) but it didn't help much. I know the headset is not defective because it my third pair (had to RMA my first two pairs as they both had awful issues).
I need help with mine, i bought them Yesterday (100% battery) and used them like 2h with noise canceling on and equalizer: excited and now my battery is 60%. Is that Normal?
Sony wh1000xm4 surround sound vpt settings?
Per the title, does anyone know where the surround sound VPT settings for the XM4's are at? The ones including arena, club, concert hall etc?
I have wh1000xm3 and bought the 1000xm4. I want a eq that sounds equal like 1000xm3 with no eqs
Okay, you said it does bring up the upper bass, but what about loooooower bass can it go really loud at 20 hz or below? Because i just adore these subsonic frequensies, can't live without it! If it lacks it then it's meh...
Turns out I like my music aggressive 😅 I just like to really hear my music pop the best way I can describe is this:
Aggressive: super bright punchy sound
Flat: balanced sound not too loud/quiet
Laidback: clear but calm(kinda like bob ross lol)
This equaliser takes more battery from the headset so how much battery does it take??
Hi I have the Sony app on phone and the new Xm’4 and I can’t find these surround pre sets?
Excellent breakdown, my personal preference is (left to right) +7 +4 +4 +4 -4 +7 extra bass
My choice 👍
Thank you!
listening it on my XM4 ..just got it
Does sound quality increases or improve when plugged into the phone/device?
I know that noise canceling turns off but does sound quality improve?
Thanks in advance!
From what I understand, wired will always have better quality than wireless. If it's any consolation I've done sound comparisons plugged in and over Bluetooth and I don't even know if I can tell the difference even when focusing hard. Bluetooth tech has come a long way and the quality is pretty comparable now.
I don't know if noise cancelling actually increases sound quality, but it makes it sound significantly better because you are totally immersed in the song and don't have outside noises impeding on your music
Quality stays the "same". Unlike with the Bose QC35 the XM4 doesn't act very differently. There's then no loss due to bluetooth. I plugged them into my DAC and to my opinion it delivered the best from all setups (because the DAC in the phone or XM4 seems a bit inferior).
Great review. Could you share the best setting for xm4 for conf and video calls in loud places?
No
For blues music what settings do you recommend?
Thank you sir. Thank you
I've just got them, and these are a beast. Thank you for your videos
Very nice video and I think until I get the fours I might be able to apply some of these tips to my ex M 3
Can you actually boost the bass? When I was trying them out the bass was so-so at best.
@@jeromerelayson3850 Yes, you can boost the bass a lot. A maximum bass boost will definitely hurt your ears.
@@xllliilliiilliilllx wow ok thank you going to definitely consider buying this.
From left to right +2 +3 +4 +4 +5, bass -3/-4. Sony xm4s are very bass heavy, tremble is very average, so this settings will make it a little better to my taste. I'm looking for a good music app where I could tweak it even further to have good separation of instruments.
Saving.
Hello I like your eq settings, having DSEE Extreme on or off? With this , using Tidal music on iPhone. Thanks
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! You may never see this but I was about to return it
@@rodneicosta you're welcome my friend:)
I did this except for the -3/-4 I +2 the bass 😬😁
Just bought my pair today. They are just outstanding.
What settings you settle on
@@dudemanaric I used exactly the same settings. It was quite different from what I had tuned it earlier. But it has grown on me and I like it.
@@bhaaratsharma6023 sane settings as guy in video?
@@dudemanaric Yup exactly same. I do prefer a little more base though.Everything is exactly same as in video except for bass. I set it 1 level higher than in the video,
@@bhaaratsharma6023 ty
I’m not going to exaggerate, your recommended setting is great and it made my headphone 3x better. I thought my headphone was broken or something but it just wasn’t set well. Thanks bro you saved my 3000$
$3000?
@@ErickLopez-lf5ey probably a different currency
@@jonsnow6979 Maybe he was planning to buy some really expensive headphones. Headphones get really expensive.
@@marvinlin5907 oh I thought he was talking about the XM4s
My man just bought 10 pairs of these
I’m glad I’m here I just listened to my new xm4 and I thought my daughters $50 crushers sounded way better there is like no bass stick settings I’m shocked
Hey AAron - can you help me with EQ adjustments for mys XM4's? I love techno, house, dub, progressive music... not listening to any POP or any type of music... it must be bassy and trembly... it should sound clearly also wtih some treble...
Very good video especially for an audio noob like me.
Thanks!
Do the EQ settings still work if i connect my xm4's to another device like my laptop?
I saw some ppl saying yes
does anyone have recommendations for gaming settings? for fps games like val or ow. i would like to hear footsteps better and not be deafened by the gunshots
my xm4 start freezing when I switch paired devices, then I lose the connection to one of them and the only way to pair again, is to do it all again from the fresh start. does anyone have this happning?
Nope, yours is defective, return it. Same happened to me with x3, I did return it.
Freezed on me 2...factory reset the headphones, and it seems taht all is good
Defective unit, or something wrong with other devices
is the eq saved in the headphone?
How does this EQ setting work with the music player app's, say Spotify?
The Headphone uses an integrated DAC, so every eq setting should stay no matter what App you use for music
Does anyone know why they got rid of the Surround VPT feature for the XM4s? I feel like the audio sounds less immersive without it. Hoping they'll add it back in a future update.
I hope so too but doubt that will happen
Hi am unable to turn ldac in headphone connect in ios (its wfm4 )
Already tried priority on sounds quality)
