Bro the problem with these headphones is that Sony made them too good! I'm still using my wh1000xm2 headphones and I still love them after like 3 years. Can't justify the upgrade yet
Sadly for me the ambient sound call quality suck on the XM4, I still Use the Crusher ANC for calls and Ambient sound, now the XM4s are the best sounding headphones I ever had, not Audiophile sound exactly but the EQ helps a ton, also the Bass is so good that it doesn't need to be all the way up, the XM4s taught me what good bass is.
@@Silvervader14 yeah dude great idea. I don't like the wf series one bit because of the mountains of technical issues but so far wh xm series has been the most reliable piece of technology I've owned. It's simply the best and I cannot recommend it enough. Hope it's as as good to you as the mdr 1000x was. Good luck man.
Great review. I have had these a couple months and really enjoy them. These are travel/commuting headphones and they are brilliant in that role. The sound is fun and engaging. Good audiophile headphones start at around this price so for all the features these have I think they are great value for money. I find that I use mine at home too rather than switch on an amp and plug in my wired cans. They are so much more convenient.
i swear his review videos are my favourite cause he just seems like such a genuine, down to earth guy whos giving his professional, (hilarious) and honest opinion
@@karangurung5119 if you're not gonna get the m4s, I recommend the Bose 700 over the M3s. Unless you can find a great deal and get the M3s for way cheaper.
Epsilon Star are the difference even that noticeable? I feel like this is like a typical apple update, very little changes and basically the same product but with a higher price
God I've been watching this channel for years. At this point, if flossy hasn't talked about it, I ain't buying it! Another classic gold star a+ review yet again
I’m leaning towards these over the Shure Aonic 50. The ambient sound mode looks amazing, and the app looks like the strongest one for any noise cancelling headphones. My only concern is build quality. I’m just hoping that the plastic housing doesn’t crack or break.
These are some of the best headphones someone can buy literally just got them in the mail and the listening experience is otherworldly. It’s like you are actually immersed in the the song when listening to music. Great Sound Quality better than beats and any version of air pods.
i literally just unboxed mine along with your video and it helped me learn my device quicker and more effectively. and yesss, this headphones is the shit!!!
Hey Floss, in order to use high quality LDAC codec instead of AAC you have to go to your Bluetooth settings and select "high quality audio". Unfortunately you cannot set it in the app itself.
Just saw a video of yours from 9 years ago man. I just have to get this out. You're really frickin honest and I really really love your videos. Always be like this man and I love the effort and the RRAHH! you put into these videos man.
@@HurricaneLaughter idk lol. Maybe. It’s weird! Like, I swear they sounded louder! When I go for a run I was used to having them around 75% volume. Now at max, it’s like it’s at 75%
The pads are irreplaceable, as stated several times by Sony reps in Amazon's QnA sections. If you're a heavy user, that could be a dealbreaker as it was for me. They want you to throw away XM4 after a year or so and buy XM5 instead of replacing the pads. Tooks me usually 8-12 months to wear out replaceable pads on my QC35. Replaced them at least 2 times already.
Great job on the video man I just picked up a pair of these and oh my gosh these are my new favorites I have been a Bose person for many many years but I have changed my mind after listening to these. Absolutely amazing
Love the review. I usually love useful features when it comes to newer models. I have a pair of XM3's. Had them for about 4 yrs? I tried for months & years to find a reason to ditch my XM3's and upgrade to the XM4's, or now the XM5's. But I just cant do it. Here's why. I use my XM3's primarily for travel or when at home. For my usage, I dont need multi point connections. I can just switch devices manually. I dont need Speak To Chat just to pause what Im listening to. Just pause, and resume when Im ready. Many reviews claim the bass is just as good if not slightly better than the XMM4s. So no need to ditch them because of bass. The sound with the XM3's is awesome. I never had a problem with call quality or BT connectivity. Plus I dont really use my XM3's for calls. I have replaced my ear cups twice since I have owned them. Made my XM3's feel and look like new. They look just like the XM4's. XM3's connect to more BT Codecs than the XM4's. So for me, I dont see any real reason to buy the XM4's or the XM5's, just for those convenient upgrades/features. Speak to chat might need to be turned off. Especially if one is often reading aloud, singing or talking to themselves. And how often does anyone actually need to switch immediately between 2 devices? Those minor differences do not justify me buying the XM4 or the XM5
It’s been at least a year that I have been think about buying the Sony WH-1000XM4 or Bose 700. I really couldn’t decide which one to buy. Floss convinced me to buy the WH-1000XM4’s and I am loving them so far .
Have had xm3 for a few months and still pleased. Will hold off on upgrade. The xm3 has great comfort, battery life and the sound is great for the genres I listen to.
They actually put thicker plastic on the point where it breaks the most, so it will pretty much no longer crack easily. It's weighs about the samedue to the chips used being less heavy(for example the bluetooth chip), but due to thicker plastic and stuff it's only a gram less heavy.
Yo! This review is why you are one of my favorite tech reviewers. You aren't robotic with your reviews. You have fun with your reviews. The Madonna part got a little laugh out of me. With that said, keep doing what you are doing and I will keep supporting and recommending your channel to friends looking for good tech reviews.
Floss, I was waiting for your review to make my final decisions on these and you got me over the line. My last question was if the multipoint works between iOS and Android (e.g. Android phone and iPad scenario) and you've answered that (albeit with an iPhone but same same). We'll done on an amazing review again - minus the singing of course. You either hate it or you truly despise it. I'm even beyond that bruh 😆
Late to the party but just got these as an early Christmas present from my in-laws. Holy crap they are good! Just enough of everything in the bass and mids. I‘ve had problems with over-earphones. There’s too much pressure on my temples. No problems with these, i just did a three hour hike with these and no sweat. Highly recommended
