Sony’s naming employee: Runs hand over keyboard
*Perfection*
Yo
sony has their engineers name their stuff, apple has their marketing department do it
Idk why they put the model number as the name
It's so funny because they are behind names like Walkman, Discman and fucking Playstation and then decide to name their new stuff Xm$HShs#G@a 5000 MK3...

I like how Sony has such a confusing naming scheme yet keep it perfectly clean and simple on their console line.
Because their consoles sell like crazy, so of course they care and they will care until the end.
Well they also have the sketchy name for them like every other sony product.
Just wait until they release the PlayStation 6H53MS9V Pro
Sony PS-5800-XT RTX5
They learned how to count to 5 for the consoles. And then they are doing quantum physics calculations for literally everything else.
A major point that wasn't really talked about and almost 100% the only reason I bought the XM4's... They're stealthy. I work a super boring and tedious factory job that requires no thinking and to do the exact same motion for 8 hours a day. However, we aren't allowed to have ear buds so the work day goes by SO slowly and is a killer on my mental state. So I bought the XM4's and a beanie hat that covers my ears so supervisors can't see I have them in. I can listen to music, an audio book, and also block out the loud noises of the factory. The best part is the feature that pauses the music or audio book when it detects I have started talking. If my supervisor walks over to me I can mumble something under my breath or hum or even just clear my throat and the XM4's pause the music and switch to ambient sound so I can talk to my supervisor or other co-workers without blowing my cover by otherwise reaching for my phone or the ear buds. Music starts back up automatically when I have stopped talking for 30 seconds, seriously I feel like James Bond lol. 100% justified the cost for me, paid for themselves in under a week and now my work days just FLY by!
Love the content by the way. Great review. Keep it up!
wait.. that's AMAZING! thanks for writing, this might come in handy some day
i don't understand why they won't let your protect your ears in what you said is a noisy environment. sounds stupid.
@@sebasty6111 oh they have ear plugs available to you if you'd like them. That's not the problem at all. The rule is they dont allow ear buds, like music playing devices. They want u to be focused on the work. Which is dumb cause it's super easy and it's not a dangerous part of the factory or anything so its totally fine to be distracted. If it was around heavy machinery I'd be more understanding. But nope, it's just a soul sucking boring environment haha
I need these for a very similar purpose. Thanks!
I also started a job where I sort packages. Is this the sorting packages gang??? Hahah. I am considering getting these. Havent yet
Is there a way to turn that feature off?

I work in refineries and true wireless are such a great thing for the work environment. It would be really hard to get away with using wired buds, but wireless you can easily hide underneath a skull cap or mask. And obviously there are no wires to compete with while working. That alone is worth the convenience price.

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
The reason companies push wireless headphones so much is that theyre dirt cheap to produce, and they can sell them for a huge profit on each. PLUS they *expect* people to buy replacements every few years or so.
Same reason why phone doesnt have headphone jack despite paying premium for it

@@zenithchan1646 The latter part? Common sense. The former comes from the cheapness of the parts going into these TW earbuds. It might cost a bit to come up with the design, but in the end it's just plastic, some batteries, and 2 drivers.

The fact that earpods are basically disposable is why I was happy to spend $49.99 USD for the Taotronics Soundliberty 79s (on your recommendation) and have been really happy with them. Great sound for cheap and nothing that made me worry I'd spent too much on something.
I got the 97s and they work fine. Touch controls, but I'm having a hard time finding any buds with buttons at all.

Actually, he kinda glossed over the product, which makes me think he wasn't all that impressed with them.
@@chethammer He said they sounded great, and the noise cancelling was great. I don't think you really need much more.

For real! Best reviews on all of UA-cam nobody will ever be more thorough
There was also a sad story in the middle of the video
I just bought a pair of these and I thought it would be fun to listen to reviews of them, through them. I do like them so far, but I got a weird high pitched sound on the left side during the video.
Edit: Exchanged them at Best Buy, and the replacements sound much better.
My everyday wireless ear buds are the Jlab Jbuds, I think they cost me £50 about 2-3 years ago. While the buttons have gone a bit mushy and there are the odd connection/syncing issues (probably once a week), I've worn them pretty much every day for at least 12 hours a day and they still hold 5-6 hours of charge and charge to full relatively quickly.
They've been fantastic for what I wanted out of them.
In any industry, there’s always a better way you could be spending your money. Love what you’re doing for the headphone world, it’s made getting my friends and family into high fidelity listening easier.

i love true wireless earbuds, especially my xm4s, because i can use the discreetly at work. they're hidden perfectly under my beanie. plus they sound pretty darn good. sp while i do still want to have high-quality headphones at home, the form factor of true wireless earbuds is super handy
I got these as an update to my almost 4 year old Bose Soundsport Free. I miss the little hook for my ears but these are so incredibly comfortable, the sound is even better than my wired B&W earbuds, and the sound cancelling is amazing. The ambient sound mode is great too for when I’m at work and want some background music but I still need to be somewhat attentive.
I haven’t used the adaptive audio settings yet, but Sony’s EQ software is on point, especially the clear bass boost.
The battery life is absolutely absolutely insane coming from headphones that just barely scraped 4-5 hours before without any sort of noise cancelling/ambient sound on 30-50% volume.
“They’re great. All glory to convenience.”
I like your self awareness.
Just like to point out that my KZs survived a trip through a washer and dryer and still work perfectly while I still can’t find a set of wireless buds that don’t break after normal use.
I bought the sound liberties after his raycon vid and man those have been a champ. They've been through a ton and are still kicking. So glad he recommended those.
@@davidclements8381 bought those too, unfortunately I'd forgotten that I am physically incapable of wearing in ear type earbuds(ear too close to jaw so they always fall out) but my girlfriend and best friend love them

I had a pair of generic earpods before I had airpod pros and I didn't realize the difference in portability until just now. Like the other container was huge and squared and I didn't carry it around much. Now I have the airpods and I literally put them in a pocket with my wallet, keys, and chapstick daily.

If you have the first or second generation AirPods, yes. Third generation addressed the issue.
Solid point on TWS Buds being basically disposable. This is why I don't spend over 100 bucks or so on them. I have some really decent sounding ones that I've gotten for 20 dollars. And if you wait a few months after release and do some digging you can find really good deals. I got the Soundcore liberty 3 pros for 110 freedom eagles.
Wow, the KBEar microphone is absolutely insane. It sounds better than some Lavaliere mics i've heard!
Out of the three, they seem to be the only ones not subject to overbearing amounts of noise reduction and echo cancellation (probably because they were the only ones you could plug into an analog input).

Everything you said about wireless buds having a set lifespan is exactly why I still prefer wired and wish phones would keep the 3.5 jack
Solution: just don't get a new phone lol
The big flagship phones don't, but there are still plenty in the mid range that keep it. And Sony's own phones also have it but unfortunately they pulled out of so many regions.
@@dhruvtukadiya wonder why Sony phones aren't available? Dying to get my hands on the Xperia Mark III
@@TF2ReplayMaker companies like Xiaomi cut profits by selling at a lower markup and then there were so many new competitors that Sony couldn't keep up.

And yes, the Xperia 5 Mark III is honestly my ideal phone, would love to get my hands on it.
@@dhruvtukadiya ahhh I see. Had no idea 😳 From the standpoint of someone that loves audio there really aren't many phones with good DACs AS WELL as an uninterrupted screen with no stupid hole-punch camera ruining the display.

The conversations he has when showing off microphones are what’s keeping me sane.
Dank does make a good point on this video, you can be blinded by the new bling of todays "disposable" tech or do a bit of research and get the most out of your money and still look awesome in your everyday use.
I love this channel so much, keep up the great work!
It would be nice if you took a look at the other different variations of the KZ IEMs, from the ZST x with are often compared to the ZSN Pro X, their heavily aclaimed ZS10 Pro, and their absolute cheapest EDX to their most expensive AST to see how they hold up to one another
I'm surprised he hasn't done more coverage on Chi-fi. I'd watch the hell out of that.
Get KZ ZSN Pros or go for KZ ZSXs, thats it
If you go any higher get Tin T2s and then from there either Moondrop Starfields or Arias
None of the others are worth comparing
According to crinacle, the QKZ ZK4s are his pick for an iem under $50, but qc is an issue with them so it is a bit of a gamble. That being said, it’s more worth it to save up for moondrop arias or etymonic er2xrs
Hmm at that budget ($40-50 iem) i might go with moondrop ssp/ssr rather than gambling with KZ, because i tried some of them (forgot whats the model is, but its that hybrid drive thing. I personally only own ZS10 the cheapo $10 one) and it sounds different from each other (and its the same model, not yet burned in or smth).
Not an audiophile by all means, but I do appreciate good iems.
Real talk, I had these buds for a month and I didn't even know that Cable was in there. Thanks man.

Once you adjust the eq, they become the best true wireless noise cancelling earbuds money can buy. Weather it's too expensive for your needs is completely up to the individual. I could afford them, I bought them, I love them. Also love the automatic wind noise reduction.

I use my dt770s for double digit hours most days, for listening to music whilst doing uni work or gaming, or also for doing drum and bass dj stuff on the side, they are absolutely amazing. I broke the jack, and bought an official replacement part from beyerdynamic for next to nothing, and fixed them for nothing. 100% worth it. Best value cable headphones ever :)
The funny thing is that Sony's high-end headphones still come with nice cables.
The rumour still persists that Apple ditched the headphone port on their phones to sell Airpods. Sony still _kept_ the port on their flagship phones, including this year's best phone, the Xperia 1 III. The point I'm making is that I don't quite understand whether Sony plan to maintain old standards while introducing new ones, but it's extremely welcome.
well xperia xz2 to 1 didn't have it, it came back in the 1 II
Sony got the port back due to customer feedback. And that says alot about their relationship with their customers.
I don’t care if removing the headphone jack makes it easier to waterproof the phone or whatever excuses they make, in my opinion it’s just an anti-consumer technique that forces people to spend extra on disposable tech.
I have similar problems with wireless earbuds as Dank does, though full sized headphones can get a pass if they still have an aux port, since if the battery dies you can still use them just as long as any other cabled headphones.
@@Stardevoir Exactly! I love being able to use my Marley Positive Vibration BT and when the battery runs low just chuck the cable in and plug it into my phone. They’ll still be in use as a half-decent pair of on-ears for my computer when the battery ends up dying inevitably. Building a secondary life into devices for when their batteries die is an ideal e-waste solution.
@@safamgadol That and, it's a fuck you to Apple because pretty much everyone hates the fact Apple got ride of the headphone jack
I’ve been feeling the same about wireless headphones too. You can’t really repair or work on AirPods or any wireless headphones without significant damage to the case. A “simple” battery replacement has a pretty good chance of sending your pods to the great charging case in the sky.
Companies literally push these so much because they’re so replaceable. It’s not intended at all to last a lifetime, maybe just a few years till the battery finally kicks the bucket. They expect you to lose them, or just buy the newest pair when they come out. It’s depressing.
The XM3 actually have replaceable batteries. I’ve done mine, and it’s really easy honestly
@@bandombeviews6035 yeah, that's one of the reasons i got them too. however, op probably meant earbuds, which is much harder and more risky at this price point.
btw: awesome point, op. you opened my eyes, honestly.
in a world where most people strive for at least some sustainability in their lifestyle, i really despise that switch towards throwaway trash in the headphone world as well. I wont buy true wireless ever if i don't absolutely have to
I've seen that some of Samsung's earlier Galaxy Buds were surprisingly easy to repair. You just use a vise to pop them open, and the battery change is pretty straightforward after that. Unfortunately, their later buds seem to have abandoned repairability in favor of glue and solder. Yuck.
They’re also pushing them so much because the profit margin on them is so ridiculously huge. Revenue for AirPods alone is 10 billion USD. That’s practically the same amount of revenue that Spotify alone generates. That’s also why there’s a bunch of random companies just out rebranding $5 earbuds from some factory in China and selling for $50.
The Fiio has been a lifesaver at work.
Use that to power some wired buds, then easily transfer to the car.
It's great. Barely any interruption. I work delivery, so that stuff's pretty vital.
A couple months ago, after finding this channel,
I actually took a recommendation and bought
the Kz ZSN-Pro earbuds and a Fiio BRT3K,
and I must say... they are *AMAZING!!*
Seriously... they sound better than _any_ pair of
bluetooth earbuds I've owned over the years.
Sure, maybe the wire is a bit less convenient
than 'true wireless' earbuds... but I'll happily
take the wire and have much better audio quality,
than just a _little_ more comfort and convenience.
It's seriously incredible how much bass these things can
put out without sounding muddy at all! Also... they are
REALLY comfortable! Only earbuds I've ever owned that I
can wear them for tens of hours and my ears never get sore!
A serious lifesaver when my over-ears died a couple months ago
and I had nothing else I could use in their place... my 'true wireless' earbuds
always make my ears go red after just a couple hours... not a problem with the Kz's.
They are an absolute steal for $25 USD. And they even come in one of my favorite colors, purple!
I also love the BTR3k... I use it all the time with my phone and even to
watch videos on my computer from bed. Only thing is... bluetooth range kinda sucks and they could get longer.
But the battery life is surprisingly great! I can get nearly 9 hours on them at full volume! It charges quick too.

Exactly right about stuff like the truffles dying out in a few years. High-quality goods built to be maintained are far more convenient to the consumer than full-price products you have to keep buying on a schedule. High-quality goods built to be maintained are far more friendly to the environment than full-fledged products intended to be thrown out.
This is the reason I absolutely despise mobile phone manufacturers.

hello dankpods! would you ever consider reviewing the other something xm4’s? i always trust your reviews the most because of how honest you are. and also you’re just funny
Main reason i still love TWS earbuds is that i walk minimum 1-2 hours a day, and generally don't really like having to mind the cable when i'm out n about ,or in the office, where i'm moving between 2 separate desks and constantly doing all sorts of stuff.
Not to mention, ANC is literally a lifesaver for when i need to focus while writing code.
For that kind of convenience, i can definitely take a hit in audio quality.
Not to mention, i do think that the buds i got recently (Xiaomi 3T Buds Pro) definitely punch above their weight in terms of sound quality and ANC, especially for the 107$ i payed for them.

2:36 good magnets, I often dream of loosing wireless earplugs after they fly everywhere after my body is violently ejected in a car accident, no need to fear anymore
My biggest audio score that I got are the Sony WH-1000MX5 headphones, and I absolutely love them. Got them from a work friend for $20 (and a trade of my old Sony headphones.) Looked up the frequency response and they're pretty good all around. It be really cool if you might do a personal review on them.
Honestly, the battery is amazingly replaceable on those. That’s why I bought them, when the battery inside the buds shoots shit, I can get replacements.
I love it when people chose their devices because of repairability. Thats why i got the Samsung Beans and would never buy Airpods.
Thats something I didn't know. Good to now that the recycleable packaging of these is not only for greenwashing the product.
@@b0nz1official it's not as easy as sliding the battery in and out obviously, but pop them in half, 2 connectors later, and Bobs your auntie. No soldering, no welded on tabs, just a battery.
@@Brian-jv8iy Older iPhones before teh iphone 7 are really reliable. Great to hear, that there are still people around who care about these things.
I bought the beans exactly because of the issue you described.
@@Bagasl why do you dislike them??
2:06 Ah yes, the ⅄NOS
Thank you for always touching on the case in your reviews. The soft touch rubber coating on the case is a deal breaker.
I like the snek at the end 🥰 nice touch!!
The planned obsolescence of headphones is borderline criminal at this point, but hey, everybody needs a pair of airpod pro plus minis in giga black for $500
What I am concerned about is, once new AirPods Pro come out, will I be able to get replacements of my first gen pros when batteries die. I like these pros and don’t need anymore features than these, also like their sound and convenient stems.
@@kfkaest not really, the batteries dying in two years is normal. What is planned obsolescence is that they can’t be disassembled like every other earbud to replace only faulty part (the battery in this case). It’s quite irresponsible and ridiculous
@@kfkaest Most headphones have a 2 year warranty. The problem is what happens after that.
I just got my then 20+ year old DT 880 repaired on 2019.
My friend was told "sorry we can't fix it, it's better to just buy a new one", when he asked to get his gen1 Airpods fixed at the apple service center. His airpods are 3 years old.
@@kfkaest when you don't understand right to repair but still wanna talk shit
Nah, that's just for the smartphone industry
Dank: "Now look here little Billy, Ive been waiting for this day for 60 years."
*crams out his old collection of high-end headphones*
Billy: "But dad, its 2081, we dont even use headphones anymore, they just beam the music directly into our brain. "
Dank: "... shut up billy"
He has a name you know
It's wade
am i the only one that read that in his dad and son voices
@@brendancross2767 yeah but it’s funny to call him dank pods, smartass.
@@brendancross2767 Huh, I’ve been watching dank pods for a while and I never knew that.
Dank: "still doesn't beat cable!"
OMG. I have one of those cameras. I snagged it when my office upgraded their tech on 2010ish. I could fit 4 pictures on the 3.5 floppy. 💜
9:07 definitely not watching this after losing my AirPod pros to see if I should get these…
"Forgot to charge my toothbrush" LOL
But seriously, I like both options, that's why I went for a Hybrid headset, so if they run out of battery, I just plug the C-A-B-L-E
I wish they made more hybrid Headsets, they truly are the best of both worlds
Xm4s!
Consider taking your AirPods to an Apple store to get them replaced.
I got my pair of AirPods in 2019, but have been replacing them for free every time some static happens. I find that the unwanted noises start after 4-6 months of daily use. The warranty of my pods has expired for nearly a year now and I’m still replacing them for new ones at no cost.
well, there goes all convenience out of the way. Having to replace your stuff every few months is pretty annoying, isnt it?
Typical Apple
the key word - replace. not repair. the old ones are just going to landfill as waste because they’re made like trash
@@doktormerlin I guess it boils down to how much of a hassle is worth a new pair of airpods. I know that for most people, going to an Apple store is quite a hassle.
Fortunately, I pass by an Apple store daily, so it isn't too bad for me. Just an additional 10-20 minutes to get them replaced.
@@doktormerlin not just annoying, but also very wasteful!
I just got these too, they are by far the best sounding earbuds I've ever gotten, better than my zs10 pros, and pretty comfortable for how airtight they are, and touch controls are alright, but the NoIsE CaNcElInG! Ooh it's nice, definitely some of the best $300 I've spent
The best is when you have the noise canceling on and play white noise. You will not hear anything. Perfect for focusing
After seeing one of you headphone/earphone review videos I went and bought some KZ EDX earphones because my wireless JBL ones were dying and the one channel was not sounding good anymore. And when the KZ EDX earphones arrived THEY WERE AMAZING!!! They had an even better sound than my JBL earphones. And they just sounded right. So thank you very much for helping guide me with the choice of earphones within my price range.
9:34 That static issue from moving the AirPods Pro has been acknowledged by Apple, and they'll replace yours with a brand new one if you get them serviced within 2 years from purchase date. And since every AirPods Pro is less than 2 years old at this point, you can get them replaced with brand new units with revised hardware without the static issues.
While it’s great that it’s a free replacement, it doesn’t sound too sustainable though.
My favorite thing in your videos is the bit where I get to "enjoy" the microphones on all these buds, headphones, and nuggets. Truly some incredible ramblings, I can't describe the vibe but I enjoy it very much thanks
DUDE!! I love your stuff, I would also love to see a Liberty 3 Pros review. They claim to be a XM4 competitor at like a 3rd of the price!
I bought the FIIO UTWS3 bluetooth adapters for the equivalent of 70 freedom birds, slapped them on my KZ ZS5, and boom. Incredible clarity, decent mids and bass, modest instrument separation and soundstage. Yes, that means it's just okay as a piece of audiophile gear and is nothing compared to a dedicated DAC and wired IEMs, but for less than $90 you can get a near-true wireless experience at par with (one might even say better than) $400+ dinguses at a fraction of the cost.
Bought the exact DT 770 Pros (80 ohm) a couple of weeks ago based on some of your earlier videos and are absolutely loving them.
My eyes lit up as you pulled them in frame this video, just the pure realization of "thank god I made the right choice"
Love your work, never stop!
I been having them for almost about a year for daily usage till about recently on my PC. They're sound very good imo but I started to despise earpads and starting to use The Fiio FH3.
I also bought them because of the DANK and yes they are REALLY awesome! Not good at blocking out noise but MAN it sounds epic for $100!
Sony employees naming these are like:
"real quick pick two letters"
"uh, W... and H?"
"yea good nuff, cheers"
just add a few zeros we good to go
Love the words of wisdom at the end about alternatives for home and out and about.
I've had mine since the day they came out and they still sound just as good as the day I got em.
Plus since I didn't really like the memory foam tips that much I just replaced them with some silicone tips easily.
“Sorry Sony, I hated your app”
*maniacal laughter*
Pretty cringe when manufacturers put their shitty app on earbuds
@@InfernoPhoenixFX lmao sony app isn't shit, have you ever tried it without watching reviews?
The static is not due to your Airpods dying, it's a production error and there's been a recall on those early 2019-2200 models. You can probably send them in and have some brand new pods.
2200???
@@prostaknaivnyj5976 yeah, they update the models in 2201, so these are just early models

If your new to reference headphones, get the DT 770. They are amazing. I always had shit headphones. It changed sound for me. Now I'm used to it but the detail is so fun to go back and re listen to music and see what's different
Super excited for the review on the Galaxy Buds+!
It’s hard to believe how young this channel is…DP, you were born for this. You’re a true entertainer
"Talk to a school network admin" Well now I feel called out. Not in schools but close enough. Recently helped a friend set up his internet. Wifi was garbage. Took an hour to convince him to plug in a cable. "Oh..... well it just works...." was the resounding reply.
ask him to get an at LEAST semi decent router especially one with openwrt lol
These videos are seriously so good. I’d love to know your opinion on the Shure SE215’s
I'm still amazed at how long your headphones last. Ours just die. It's either the cable, or the speakers, or the earcups, or the rig holding the damn things together, but something always breaks.
