Got into a car accident recently and my 1000W subwoofers in my car hit the dust. These ULT wears do an amazing job in giving me a replication of the feeling of subwoofers. I prefer ULT wear's bass, fit, cushioning, transparency mode, battery life, button controlled anc, and the slightly less stuffy feeling i got from my XM4's. Thank you Sony.
This guy's dedication to the videos is outstanding. Thanks got this video! Because these two headphones are just basically same price and was looking to get one of these. Gues will get the XM4 as they have more features and sound more clean, the Ult sound a bit off because all the base overwhelming the rest.
Yes, they should have just updated the sound technology on the XM4s and branded them as the XM5s instead of going with the fixed new design. Keeping them as fold ups would have been better. I actually find the XM4s more comfortable to wear too.
I feel like the xm5 has its own charm and should be it's own lineup. Xm5 is more modern looking but at cost of portability Xm4 is classic, portable. Xm5 seems very good for someone who doesn't need to carry it around
Wow, been almost 4 years since the released day of XM4, I feel like XM4 still very good, I am very grateful to have it though the price was very expensive.
You’re right. I love and use them for work! I initially got the 910s from best buy but exchanged them within 2 days for the XM4s. Haven’t regretted that business decision🔥
Thanks for your videos! Some of the best online. I bought the ult wear on Black Friday, 40% off. So great I love these. I regret not buying good ANC headphones earlier. My old Sony WF-SP800N were mid at best.
I had the xm3s. Sold them when i found out they handled cold temperatures very bad. Then i got the xm4s. And later on sold them and got the xm5s.. Sold the xm5s after a short while. Didnt like the design/comfort of the headband and the pads. Got the Sony ult wear today. The bass is good on ult off and better on ult 1. On 2 its too much. And on some music its better with ult off. For me, after an short listening time, the ult wear is an good headphones to use, when i need anc and want that extra thump/bass. But im an little hedphone geek, so i like to switch headphones/iems for my mood or usage case. But my wallet are crying 😂😂😂
Skullcandy crusher ANC2. Music, movies, gaming. They sound amazing. gaming and movies it’s the only 1 for bass. It’s like being in a car with a JL Audio sound system. Coming from Sony 900n, ult wear, xm4, crusher evo, Audeze Maxwell and the 6 other headphones on my wall that I can’t remember.
Ouch, I got to say, though xm4 should remove some low end noise more, in this sample its almost the same, while ultwear got less high noise... its like xm5 anc on manual with slightly worse lows...
So i actually have both the m4s and the ult wear my entire family picked the ult wear over the m4s i guess you can say my family consists ove bassheads
Thanks for making this comparison video, Aaron. I would like to unironically propose that you introduce a noise-cancellation test using a sound clip of screaming children. This appears to be the achilles heel of many noise-cancellation headphones, but is something that I reckon many people would like to use NC for.
I want a reworked xm 4 with better battery and a better in ear detection sensor, the product is great but I think considering the market xm 4 only lacks battery life and a little bit noise cancellation. But i still love the xm4.
I’ve been seeing online that ULT is getting a lot of hinge breaking, some are user error and some are the headphones itself. Should I still consider it as my first sony headphones?
Go w the Xm4s, get a nice lightly used pair.. They'll hold you up well They r very well-rounded & HiRes certified & i think you can use LDAC w Multipoint [ i don't know if you can do that w the ULT wear ]
I didn't get the xm5 because the xm4 was more bassy and i liked the sound better.. hmmm would that be an upgrade if I switched to the ult wear🤔 I was waiting for the xm6s to come out cuz when I tried to xm5 it seemed like a bit of a downgrade 🤨
I went to the JB Hi-Fi store yesterday and tried them out! The Sony Ult is not that comfortable and is heavier! also, the sound clarity was less, even on default settings, because of the bass. I ordered the XB910 after watching a ton of reviews! The Sony XM4 is now four years old and very expensive. I would say wait for a sale to buy them, or otherwise go for the XB910
They're not that comfortable to you but I'm suspecting that's just not the case for most....I've had them for three days now and they're super comfortable. Weight is nearly identical to the XM5s so if you consider these heavy I guess you think that the relatively light XM5s are heavy too, but they're not. I personally like them a lot and it's a shame you didn't like them but I do understand not everyone agrees when it comes to tastes in anything....
The only advantage you mentioned of the xm4 that is worth considering is speak to chat. Which is still not a good reason to buy the xm4 cause it can be inconvenient
@@ВиталийНВ-ю9е Thanks, a friend has the M4 and regularly falls asleep with them, zero issues for years. Of course the price difference makes the M4 harder to choose. But if they outlast the ULT several times over, perhaps it's worth it

Hi, could you please suggest me the best earbuds for a Deep and punchy Bass? I currently have the Jabra elite 75t, and I love them. But unfortunatelly one morning I woke up with one of my Jabra ear buds in my mouth. Been sucking it all night and now it has broke... It sounds very low volume compared to the other one.

When i put them on, I want to feel like I'm in a nightclub ! And I want them as LOUD AS POSSIBE !!!!!!!!!! I don't care about noise cancelling or anything else. I JUST WANT THE HEAVY BASS, and audio quality is EVERYTHING for me in the earbuds. I dont care about any ANC, call quality, or anything else. All I want is BASS and LOUDNESS to be like in a night club all the time ! And I want a good fit and seal like Jabra elite 75t had with silicone eartips and no stupid sticking out sticks like airpods have. I really like the kind of the design the Jabra elite 75t has.

Ult wear seems better at canceling people chatting, it would have been nice to see another test canceling low frequency noises, to see the difference.
I am still using my WH-1000XM4 even after 4 years, the build quality speaks for themselves. If you guys want a good all round headphones buy XM4.
