    Great video man. I love my Sony XM-4s. Working great after 2 years of almost daily use and one bud falling into a pool lol. Definitely going to pick up the XM-5s after these give out.
    *tip on the XM4* There is foam in the speaker of the bud if you pull the foam out a bit with a tweezer and pinch them with a paper towel you will see all the wax build up and makes the audio loudness and quality as if they were brand new. Didn't realize this was a thing until like a year of ownership. The difference in sound quality and volume was insane lol.

    • @dgti
      @dgti Před 2 měsíci +11

      Unfortunately these earbuds have well known battery issues caused by a software update that deem them practically useless. It happened to me too. They barely last an hour now and the case can't even fully charge the buds anymore before having low battery too. Sony is aware too and is offering repairs even if you're out of warranty, but it still sucks to have this issue to begin with. I loved the sound quality, but this alone prevents me from recommending them to anyone.

    It's nice to watch this review as I'm searching for new wireless Earbuds ! For me, the ANC and the latency are the most important criteria, as i'm a video editor. I need to be frame-accurate, especially when editing music or interviews. As i'm working on macbook m1 2020, with Bluetooth 5.0, do you think the Airpods Pro 2 will offer me less latency than the Sony XM5 as it's the Apple eco-system, and could you be able to tell me if the latency will always be a problem even with the Airpods ?

    I am often in loud environments (literal jet engines) working in teams where communication is crucial and have had very surprising success using my Sony WH1000-MX4s "focus on voice" and full transparency modes as active hearing protection. Loud bangs etc get muted down automagically to protect my hearing and loud jet wines get greatly reduced... Full earplugs are quite dangerous do to the lack of awareness and communication here
    has anyone tested these buds for intelligent hearing protection/voice isolation? It sounds a bit whacky but its a gamechanger for us doers and builders! The three categories most interesting for us would be
    1) Impulse reduction (gunshots, explotions, door slams etc.)
    2) Ability to reduce high SPL (riding a lawnmower)
    3) Ability to focus on voices in those environments (talking over the lawnmower)
    Any suggestions are welcome

      When using wireless earphones/headphones during music production or video editing, there will pretty much always be a latent response of sound against the visual display. To stop the delay of sound I would suggest buying headphones with a wire, not wireless. Hope that helps.

They’re good, but not AS good as others. Samsungs were on the table and included. OnePlus as well, but I couldn’t find them lol. I know the second gen OP is worse than the first gen for sound imo.

    What you recommend for someone working as an auto detailer? I have to take calls, talk to clients in person and have a generator and a vacuum running. I was running some Shockz with concert ear plugs for a while and that was pretty nice but they lasted me about 6 months before the battery life and mic quality dropped off. People notice the mic issue when I'm on the call with them.

    Hi from another audio engineer. I do touring audio. Last year I had some enjoyment and frustration trying to wear Airpods pro while sleeping in my tour bus bunk. The ANC really added a level of relief that I never get from regular earplugs. I tend to toss and turn a bit and switch from back to side to other side. The airpods tended to fall out and be a bit uncomfortable on my side.
    Any recommendations for ANC buds with more than 6 hours of battery life that might work for me? I got a set of the Quieton 3's and they didn't work at all. I found the ANC to be almost nonexistent, which is a bummer because they were expensive and a great idea on paper. I've been sort of leaning towards the new JLab Jbuds 3, Soundcore life A3i, or Jabra Elite 8 or 10 or Galaxy Buds live (maybe too short of battery life).

    • @cgtbrad
      @cgtbrad Před 2 měsíci

      Space A40’s were a no go for me. They were physically uncomfortable and the low battery warning came on an hour before I wanted to wake up. Currently using JLab ANC3. They’re more comfortable and seem to sound about the same as the Space A40’s, except with a slight hiss with ANC engaged. Battery life seems slightly better. I’m now thinking that the perfect product for me doesn’t exist yet. Maybe in a few years with smaller electronics and better batteries…

      They hurt my ears because of the oval shaped tip. They have connection quirks (iPhone 14 pro). The part of the case that opens makes noise because of how crappy it is while in your pocket. ANC is good. I’ve been using them for 3 days now and my ears are extremely sore. Will be returning them.

I'm stuck between your comment about the pros sounding worse but having more features.

I already have AP2's, Buds 2 pro, and Bathys. I'm just wondering if they'd be worth it what with my line up so far.
