Glad to hear someone mention and test the XM5s for the metallic pinging noise. That one completely ruined my XM4 experience during voice calls, which I used them frequently for while gaming. Kinda glad I parted with my XM4s during the return window, though I did so very heavy hearted - because other than that I was extremely happy with them outside of an extremely obnoxious offender of said pinging noise being my right bud. I will happily give the XM5s a try and if all else fails, I will just send the XM5s back again and re-order the XM4s - hoping to get a less offending set, and/or just accepting the fact that this part is the only con of them. I also hope for less ear fatigue, which was quite pronounced for me on the XM4s. I will miss the quite unique design and matte finish of the XM4s though, they looked marvelous and really stood out from the crowd of wireless in-ears. On the sidenote of design, I am somewhat sad that the LED 'bar' is now replaced with a simple LED dot on the case. I really liked the look of the LED bar the XM4s had on their case. Overall, I am really torn between these two earbud sets, but hope that the XM5 are removing my main gripes about the XM4s, being comfort, the metal pinging and the battery lottery, to the extent I can bear their rather cheapish look (compared to the XM4s). That said, given the regular retail price of both sets, that pinging noise should be an absolute no-go in such a premium price range.

Hi Aaron, thanks for your comparison, I have the xm4's and I feel they don't have enough volume, are the xm5´s louder?
Aaron, did you have issues with ldac lagging when watching youtube videos on the sony wf-1000xm4 earbuds? I have the sony wf-1000xm4 earbuds and youtube lags with ldac enabled. I never use noise canceling since I have noise canceling always off and for my eq settings I have it set to completely flat like a ruler with clear bass set to -10. I have prioritize sound quality instead of stable connection. I'm using the sony xperia 1 iv. I tried the sony xperia 1 iii with the sony wf-1000xm4 earbuds and the sony wf-1000xm4 bluetooth earbuds would lag every second with the sony xperia 1 iii. It was really annoying. I even tried the sony wf-1000xm4 with my fiio m11 android hi res music player set to ldac and it would lag too. I ended up going back to using my wired headphones since the lag was getting annoying. Using google assistant made the sony wf-1000xm4 lag so I ended up turning off google assistant. These issues that I mentioned are the things that annoys me about bluetooth headphones. I never had these issues with wired headphones. Luckily when I pre-ordered my sony xperia 1 iv from best buy during there promotion I got the sony wf-1000xm4 for free as part of best buy promotion.
i have a question and it seems like XM5 is a good choice. I have an Iphone 14 pro max with Soundcore libetry air 2 and use it mostly on the whatsapp, Wechat and line voice call instead of Phone call. I found out that the sound quality of using APP call / Voice message is not a good compared to real phone call.
Thanks so much, really helpful. I have had the issue of answering calls with the XM5 and the caller just cannot hear me. This led to taking out the XM5 to call back in a more traditional way. Unless I'm missing something, this is a real game changer for me as it goes against the purpose of what I purchased them for. Do you have any workaround or a better alternative? I am thinking of returning these as they are quite expensive and switching over to the Link. I'd really appreciate your wiseness 😊
You seem to have forgotten the battery discharge issue on the rhs bud in the WF 1000 M4 following the software upgrade which has still not been addressed by Sony. What is there to suggest that this will not recur?

Thanks for this awsome review.... I have the XM4. I had issues with one side giving off noises when ANC was active and I got a replacement. Months later after i updated my firmware to 2.0.0, I had the dreaded battery drain issue. This time I could not get a replacement. Went to youtube, saw a tutorial on how to replace the batteries and did it myself. My earbuds are now like new, and on top of that I have replacement batteries in case year+ in the future I need to replace it again. I WILL NOT buy XM5, at least not soon. Maybe a few years when they drop the price and my XM4's really stop working. The new features in the XM5 really do not entice me.

Aaron, have you considered the nura true pro bluetooth earbuds and the denon perl pro bluetooth earbuds? The nura true pro and denon perl pro both have qualcomm apt-x lossless compression bluetooth codec instead of the lossy compression bluetooth codec that is currently on all qualcomm apt-x bluetooth earbuds and headphones. However, when there is bluetooth interference it loses quality and it goes down to a terrible quality at 140 kbps. I have my local music library stored on my micro sd card mixed with 16 bit 44.1 khz wav, 24 bit 96khz flac and even dsd 64 at 88.2 mhz aka sacd. The sony wf-1000xm4 treble is rolled off and not as bright or fatiguing with tracks that emphasizes the treble even though I have the eq set to completely flat like a ruler with clear bass set to - 10 to make the bass neutral and flat.
How is the noise cancellation compared to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, AirPods Pro 2, and Bose QC Earbuds 2?
Do you think they can add the option of cutting out background noise when I talk during a call with Linkbud S?
Can you please explain to me why a smaller size should result in a worse fitting seal? For me and a few other people ive talked to the xm4's where just to bulky to stay in properly.

Are the controls still limited in pairs or did they improve that? For my xm4, I use play/pause, forward reverse on right earbud and volume control on the left, as I think a lot of people do. But I also want to have ANC toggle and the quick attention feature as well. Can we have all of them at once now?
Hey Aaron! In my headphones app, I was not able to enable triple tap and continuous press options for my Sony link buds s.
How do you configure the audio of your cell phone so that the sound is taken from the headphones and not from the microphone of the cell phone? for example on whatsapp
What about audio latency? You didn't highlight that. Does the xm5 have any improvement in terms of audio latency in comparison to the xm4's?
In the music test at 09:57, the XM5 sounds best to my ears - when listening via my XM4 earbuds (!) for which I apply lots of (V-shaped) EQ... I believe that perceived improvement is due to the XM5's drop in response over 2.5 to 5 kHz (relative to the XM4). Smoother, less "shouty". Following that, I dropped my XM4 buds' EQ down a bit further (than they already were) at 2.5 kHz (while listening to other music), but still (on listening to the test again) the XM5's sound smoother in that department - so I wish there were more (hence tighter) EQ bands in that region, or alternatively a parametric EQ option.
I was just wondering how do you switch off the touch tones on these wf1000xm5 I’m sure you could do that on xm4
My latest heaphones are atleast 10 years old. Motörheadphones.. Ive been arguing since november about what to get.. im down to xm5 i think. Is the WH headphones xm5 a better total package with better NC or are the new xm5 buds just as good? In Sweden the WH cost 450 dollar right now and the WF will be 350 dollar. Just want the best NC.
I didn’t get it well so lemme ask you, do you feel like vocal/upper mid range is more forward on XM5? I quite like the more flat mids on the XM4 and I was hoping Sony wouldn’t change that.

It would be a massive downgrade in terms of sound quality. Spend the money on a pair of beoplay ex if you want better sound quality. Buy the bose quietcomfort 2s for noise canceling. Buy the airpods pro 2 for ease of usage and almost as good sound quality as the sony, and better transparency and anc. Buy the master & dynamic mw08 sport if battery life and build quality and looks are the most important to you. Otherwise, the EQs are almost the best sounding earbuds on the market, second to the final ze5000 and the hifiman svanar.

@@danielvanatta8884 I Guess you're right. Truth be told I tried the EX about one year ago. They were better for calls compared to the EQ, punchier in the lows and more defined in the highs, but ultimately I could't find a good fit (I have huge ears and the EQ work good for me) plus the noise canceling was worse and controls were hit and miss..so I didn't keep them. I guess I'll wait for the next iteration at this point. Besides, I love my current setup with my custom eq plus the hybrid tips that I swapped from my "old" XM4s.
Do the xm5 sound better than the AirPod pro 2 that’s my big question

Can I get sound quality close to xm5 or similar by setting EQ with linksbuds s? Because its wearing comfort and price are both perfect.
In my opinion voices are much more emotional with the XM4. They sound beautiful full, have more "pressure" and presence, are exceptional clear, forward sounding and natural analog like "warm". Maybe this is not the most neutral setup but i like it very much. Music is emotion and the XM4 are best imo in giving that emotional listening experience. The sound is exceptional full bodied with deep bass and beautiful. I won't buy the XM5. Thanks for your making the best in ear reviews on KZread.

I would still go for LinksBuds S instead of XM5, since it is even more pricey, weakening ANC, still bigger than LinkBuds S in terms of size and weight, with muddy, not as great call quality

Another significant difference between the XM4s and XM5s is that the XM5s dropped the voice feedback indicating which ambient sound control mode you are in (ambient sound, noise canceling or off). For me, this made the XM5s less useable than the XM4s. I could not easily tell what mode I was in.
Not sure if it is me or the buds. I have the WF 1000XM4 and WH 1000XM5. The ANC on both does not work on me. On trains, I can hear rumblings, announcements, people chatting very clearly. Does anyone have the same issue?

Great review!! Subbed & Liked. I would suggest to always wait a while and read feedback on firmware updates before you update yours, no matter what variant you get. A firmware update does not always mean things are better. Sony is terrible at software testing & distribution. Just because theres and update doesnt mean you have to update, no matter what is in the patch notes (which they dont publish everything). If nothing is bothering you and you are happy with your device as it is, leave the firmware alone.
