    For those feeling the bass is boomy the fix is in the developer settings. By default the ldac goes to 96 khz/32bit and not in "990kbps" mode. You should first force it to "990kbps " mode and set it to the bitrate/depth of the file you are listening. This can be obtained in app atleast in apple music it clearly shows the bitrate of the file.
    With this the clarity improves drastically and atleast in xm4 I listen with off equalizer setting.

    As for folding, XM4 had issues with hinge snapping off, since there were so many moving parts. XM5's will solve the issue and make headphones more durable.
    If anyone still confused between XM4 and XM5 I have an algorithm for you
    - If you don't own any XM series headphones go for XM5 eyes closed.
    - If you own XM4, wait for XM6 unless you really want improved call quality (which is huge step up)

    It's good to see a big reviewer like you is reviewing these niche audio products. As an audio enthusiast, my experience with XM3 headphones was good but I returned due to unacceptable call quality. I used XM3 TWS too which had even worse call quality but I decided to keep them as I got them as a gift. About XM3 headphones at that time Bose QC 35 ii was a strong competitor. I compared both of them side by side and I preferred the XM3 for sound quality but call quality and comfort was way better in Bose. After that XM4 was released which wasn't a big upgrade from XM3 and now the XM5 is here and it's good to see that calling issue is fixed.
    However, this product was launched earlier in global market and seeing reviews from there, in terms of sound quality some some said it's a downgrade from XM4 and the bulky size does nkt really help to recommend.
    During Amazon festival sale, this was launched in India. But Sennheiser has also launched their momentum 4 in India at the same time. From global reviews I got the impression that momentum 4 has set a new benchmark in terms of sound quality and also battery life (60 hours as they claim). So I was very excited to buy the Momentum 4 instead of XM5. But it's a huge disappointment how they priced it in India. XM5 launched at $399 globally and Indian price is ₹27000. Whereas Momentum 4 is priced at $349, but sales at ₹35000 in India. Just waiting to see if it drops during upcoming sales. Also a review from you about the new Momentum 4 would be much appreciated.

    I was actually waiting for your review during their launch, but it never came so I just went with the word of mkbhd and got them, and I really love them in all the aspects, they're my first big budget headphones, I also have tws xm3 and even they feel like a toy when compared to these (ofc there's no comparison between the two they're great in their own ways but still)

    I love these Headphones. I have been using them for 2 months now and I agree on all the points (Pros and Cons). They are bulky to carry in flights but the sound quality and ANC is excellent. Ambient Sound Control is fantastic and I can confirm that the comfort is 2nd to none. I previously had QC35 and could use them continuously for 5-6 hours to take work calls but XM5s' are even better. Great detailed review Ranjit sir.
    I still use my QC35 time to time (I bought them in 2017 and have been using them for 5 years, daily for 7-8 hours) and just wanted to upgrade to something new and I am glad I upgraded to XM5.

    • @ashitagarwal1994

      @ooooo5361 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is it true the ANC self-adjusting constantly gets annoying? I read this as a big flaw of the XM5s that doesn't get discussed much. Reviewer said it's most notable in environments with random noise sources, which makes sense.

  • @yashptel

    On XM series we need to EQ alot to make it good. Out of the box all of them are too bass heavy. Sir, you should try wavelet. It provides 10band eq on top of presets for hundreds of popular headphones that target harman curve. But bass shelf is 2db lower than normal on those. So you might feel bass is lower than you might like. You can manually tweak that tho
