I hope Bose can bring up their voice volume for calls, and won’t someone add water resistance to their high end headphones. After all, we walk around and travel with them. By the way, you are the very best at these kinds of comparisons.

I just came from the Bose 700 to XM5 and I am absolutely unimpressed even with all the modifications. XM5 has immaculate call quality, everything else is subpar. NC is so minute. I haaaaateeee how cheap they feel, I can’t get over it. The headband slips off my head constantly, and the speech function gets annoying. You can’t yawn, hum or sing along before music abruptly pauses for 15-20 seconds before resuming. The function comes handy sometimes, but not always. I miss my 700s but was looking for an update. I’ll keep looking, but won’t be keeping these mx5s :(.

Excellent review and thorough comparison. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for focusing on the things that really matter. I have NC 700s, and have the same complain as you, the clamping pressure is too high (even after stretching it overnight multiple times), but until now, I felt the call(microphone) quality in a noisy environment was unsurpassed on the NC 700, looks like Sony finally did something about their microphone arrays. I will order these in the near future and test them on calls on the road against the NC 700s. All of the Sony XM headsets have been more comfortable than the NC 700, unfortunately for me, call quality was the most important feature but looks like I may get a break here. I think it’s hilarious how others do reviews of these headsets and leave the microphone part completely out of the review. Thanks again 👍

Additional question: On a side note, in the mean time, I could try very quickly one XM5 yesterday (i could not at all test in depth). While i was extremely pleased with call quality, I was very-very-very disappointed by the ANC. It worked brilliantly on a steady state, but seems to re-initialize when a sudden movement of my head or a sudden sound change happened. It looks like the "auto ANC/ ANC optimizer" is simply not able to cope with sudden changes, and one cannot disable it (in other words, the headphone chooses the ANC level without asking me, while I would like to have it at its max setting all the time). Have you had such a behaviour, or was it only the pair tested? If confirmed, that's -unfortunately- an absolute deal breaker.

I went to Best Buy today. I was sold on the Sony xm5 until I listened to the Bose . The Bose 700 sounded much better to me crisp. The xm5 noise canceling is good but that’s it sound quality Bose is unmatched.

I’ve been waiting for this comparison so thank you! I own the 700’s and recently bought the XM5’s. After testing them, I thought my 700’s did a better job of blocking lower frequencies like the fan noise coming from my desktop gaming PC. I don’t care much about EQ customization or LDAC since I’m an iPhone user, so I returned the XM5’s. Will wait for the next generation to replace my 700’s.

As a fellow video content creator, I like to use the headphones for editing. Then even 155 ms bluetooth latency makes that almost impossible. A great thing with these is that it has the 2.5mm jack. I had a NC headphone in the past which had a lag even when using the cable, I suppose because it buffers up some sound and environment noise, to then apply the noise cancellation algorithm with more precision. Do these headphones have a lag with NC on, using the cable? Thanks man for great content. New subscriber.

The Bose has better ANC and call quality hands down - I disagree with your conclusion. I have used the Bose 700s in an very noisy open office and its call quality is unparalleled. I doubt seriously that the Sonys will have better call quality in a real-world office environment. The Sonys had more low-level noise than the Bose. I own the Bose 700s and they have a wider sound stage and have superior audio quality. The bass on the 700s have a more clear and distinct bass response. Both headphones are close to each other, but the Bose are much more detailed. The Sonys are typically louder. The Sonys sound muddy, and unclear. With the Bose, all of the instruments are distinct and clear and you can hear each instrument clearly. Really, there is no comparison, the Bose have superior audio quality. Though I disagree with some of your conclusions, you have done an excellent review. Much of what we consider "good" is subjective. One final note, this design by Sony is a blatant copy of the Bose 700 design - even the audio response of the Bose 700s has been copied.

I must say my personal experience with both was that the Bose are better at isolating my voice from others on calls. The Sony is great at background noises but not other human voices.

I find the Bose significantly more comfortable also. Ended up returning the XM5’s! Not enough in it to make me upgrade.

Love your videos. Thanks. A question regarding calls. Do people usually put it in NC mode or ambient mode when making calls? I think it's meant to be in NC mode? But then my voice sounds strange to me. Also if in NC mode, does it cut out noise that the other person hears?

There are a problem with taking a call in a “quiet” environment and a college are sitting 3 meters beside you and talking. Then the colleges voice will very clearly get heard by the one that you are talking to in telephone. Here Bose 700 is still the king!!!

Sound quality would be nice if you show how adjusting sound via app effect. You can ad bass, midrange etc.

I own the Sony XM4 & Bose NC700 & find i tend to prefer the soundstage of the Bose cans, they would better if they didn't have sliders though as you never get a totally comfortable fit. If they changed the mechanism to be more in line with the XM4 they would have a far better fit. Shame to see Sony went with the slider type for the XM5, that has put me off. Appreciate the info provided in your videos, most helpful.

Please like this so people can see... I have XM5 the Japanese version ( made in and for japan and with Japanese letters written all over it ) i was surprised to see people say xm5 is kinda bad at ANC! then one day i saw someone had the same model but the Malaysia version ( which is the version everyone has outside of japan ) i asked them to test theirs... U cant believe! its like 2 different headphones!!! if the regular version is 1 out of 10, the Made in Japan one is 10 out of 10!! i was shocked. After that im only looking for things made in and for japan only. Its not fair that they let other countries assemble Sony's products and make it low quality! I wonder how does Sony let this happen? Why do people outside of Japan get lower quality of the same brand, same model. same everything! i think it also applies to all other japanese brands, Like panasonic, Denon, Yamaha. and so on...

When Sony said I'd have to send them in for warranty repair, I gave up and returned them for a refund. For $400 they should pair with anything. Disappointing because I liked them otherwise.

Which one is better bose 700 sony 1000xm5 or what help me please reply?

My main problem with Bose headphones has always been with how flimsy they feel. I feel like if I sat on them they'd just snap into multiple pieces.

As a victim of the MX4's feedback screeching problem (google for it) I'll never buy Sony again. I've heard there are fixes for it, but I suspect those fixes are just postponing the next screeching episode. I value my hearing!

can the Sony xm5 be tuned to the sound like Bose? which one has clearer vocal?

As usual, a great detailed review which makes spending much more on the XM5 difficult.

Would you recommend upgrading to the Sony XM5 if I already have the XM4?

I just tried both today Sony xm4 is good at noise canceling but only people noise not from tv or other range from human voice. The sound on Bose is much what i prefer mid range can go high and low but not too much in either way but Sony not really good in high range but in mid and low it's really better than bose. Sony produces bass really deep and soft

what type of fan was that your using

Thanks for the awesome review.I've got the bose 700. I really enjoy using them so will keep them for a while. But yes, the clamping is crazy strong. I can't wear sunglasses with them 😀. A 2022/23 replacement would be awesome.

Tbh it was unbearable at first. But I decided to season it by stretching tf out. It was better after like 3 days of stretching (moderately, of course. Do not stretch till the frame breaks). It's still a bit clamped but definitely not as bad as the xm4 I had previously before it got stolen

You haven't tried the B&O H9(i)'s then, they clamp a lot harder. I sold the H9i's and bought the Bose 700's, they are a relief compared to the B&O. The only thing I regret is that the H9i's were a bit better than the Bose in sound quality, but the NC on the 700's are a lot better.

I like the better build quality of the Bose over the sonies, they both sound amazing but the anc of the Sony at the place I went to, to look for headphones, there was a pair of the Bose for $90 less than market value, so rather than spending $400 on the sonies or $380 on the Bose, I spent $300 on a open box pair of the Bose, there is some mild pressure on the ears from the Bose but not as bad as the mx5's from Sony, but they all sound great, the best deal for me was the Bose and a markdown.

My nc700's anc mic shat the bed 1 months after warrantee period. Terrible static in my right ear. Make of that what you will.

Chick in my hood has the 700's I walk past her wearing my XM4's. Kinda funny. I'm planning on upgrading to the XM5's soon.
