I cant believe you went with non paid review. Floss your the true King of Tech reviews. Hands down you deserve God Tier ranking. This is just a small thanks for all your hard work and keeping it real. Thank you from Brisbane Australia. Love you bro
It's so funny because I was thinking the same thing while watching the video. It seems the latest trend on UA-cam is content creators without warning just interrupt their video with an ad.
sponsored or personal, he gets RESPECT because he will keep it real either way. Remember man, you would do the same exact thing when you got expenses, needs and wants. He is not a sell out for making money, same way you work for your bosses for money. He would get a sponsored video done, and then trash it in the real review if its trash. Either side, you know where you stand with Floss.
Pre ordered these earlier today. I do a lot of welding & stuff in a noisy shop and needed some new ones I can abuse while blocking out sound. & the charging is a big deal. The more I can keep them constantly in my ears is better for me 💯
Was thinking to pre-order it for early bird box and when I saw what it included. I just wait for awhile not in hurry anymore xD Worst Early Bird gift ever. Hope they fix the battery drain issue from previous early model XM4. Mine been in service centre 2time for battery exchange. Even with update 2.0.1 it still drain like crazy Right side dead within 1hour.
12 years ago I started a new job that required a lot of travel so I bought a pair of Sony wired noise canceling earbuds. I still use them to this day! Was waiting for the right tech to come together and this is it. To have wireless noise cancellation earbuds like these is an incredible technology leap in a decade. Can’t wait to get them!
Hey floss. Just want to mention this, i never have father in my life and your interactions with your daughter just melt my heart. World need more father like you. And thanks for the great reviews ofc
@@williamg7138just got the XM5s after having the Liberty 3 Pro's since they came out. Liberty's demolish the Sonys in sound quality. I'm actually pissed that I just spent $300 on inferior sounding earbuds.
Thanks for keeping it real, Floss. It must have been hard to pass up on that free money but I think you value the integrity of your channel more than a paid sponsorship. As someone that values your opinion on devices that I'm going to throw my hard earned money at, I appreciate and respect you for it. Hands down, you're the best reviewer on UA-cam!
I'm buying these today based off your review! I love how you always get deep into the settings with your reviews! Always solid and informative. By far one of the absolute best reviewers out there.
Just got mine today. Just right off the bat - the ANC is impressive!!! I think it may be even a little better than my Bose Quiet Comfort II's. This makes it worth the money alone for me. But the multi-point connection seals the deal. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review is spot on
I been using the sp800n's heavy for 3 years and just now started to fall apart so longevity is no problem for sonys. I'm looking to upgrade to these thanks to the amazing reviews by Floss. Keep it up brother💯💯
I chose these based on this review - Flossy! I couldn't be happier. I have had a couple other Sony buds but these are a big step forward. The size and weight to start are a game changer for Sony. Dialing in the EQ makes these things aing. Sony has always had great features and that remains true with these buds.
@@DrivenA111yeah they do have aluminium ion batteries, as most devices do. they will wear down, but i had my xm4's for a bit over 2 years. never ran out of battery, even though the battery life did get a bit worse over time. but if sony keeps making these xm5's even after they release the xm6's, their price will most definitely go down. brand new budget earbuds!
Hell yeah, Shalamar! I bought these a week ago and super pleased. Watched your review after the purchase but still enjoyed it thoroughly, thanks for being real, no useless fanciness just giving up straight user experience and facts. Subscribed - peace!
Floss keeping it real. Not "selling out" and accepting a sponsorship. Pretty hard to give an objective, opinionated "review" on something when the company is literally paying you to talk about them
This is it! This is what I've been waiting for. I've been binge watching XM5 videos since yesterday but I was waiting for Floss' video first before I make my decision (like I always do). $300 is not cheap you know. I'm currently rocking the Airpods Pros and MTW2 at the moment and considering to add XM5s to my collection.
My young brother whenever I'm feeling down and a little depressed I always listen to one of your videos and you always put a smile on my face thank you for that❤
I have the XM4s. Sounded great especially in terms of bass. One problem, I have normal size ears. The XM4s never stayed in my ears properly. Almost lost them several times. Glad to see the XM5s are smaller.
You’re the king. You would have still had my full respect if you had accepted the sponsorship, but you didn’t and now we get Petty Roosevelt and I’m here for it. As a faithful airpod pro user, I am fully aware of their shortcomings and am always interested in alternatives. Thank you for doing what you do.
Man i know i gave you my opinion of doing the sponsored video, but im pretty glad you still did your own video giving us your 100% truthful opinion. Respect Floss

Grabbed a set already, waiting for them in 2-3 days. Gotta get something to replace my wf1000xm4s with battery issues. Hopefully those aren't coming back. Edit: Really glad to hear you like them, I'm excited.
@@Adam_e.m yeah I heard it was very common. My left goes for like 5 minutes tops. The right one works pretty well though. Oh well, bought the new ones from Sony and got 65$ of Sony points

You always impress me with your reviews. This is why I keep coming back for a most comprehensive analysis complete with comparisons. My only question to you is: Percentage wise how much better are the B&Os SQ compared to the XM5s?
My wife just had a major event occur on Friday. I got to give you credit because I wasn't necessarily looking to buy these but it was a major major major buy after your review. I used your Amazon link and couldn't be more happy to do so
Flossy, your cat always tries and takes over your videos. That cat is a real attention seeking, photo bombing monster, and you're just so patient with it!
I just ordered these amazing earbuds last night, and I'm counting down the days until they get here! Flossy's reaction while listening to them had me hitting "buy" even faster. No other review even came close!
Thank you for the demo on these earbuds Flossy. I bought these today and I totally agree with you. The noise cancelling from these earbuds, is scary, when you find the right ear tips for it. And the bass from these headphones, they are JUST like my WH-1000XM4's that I've got. Bone rattling (for lack of a better word).
A good advice! Based on many years of experience, blowing your nose is very important, at least every half hour, to hear the best quality! Seriously, try it and you'll agree!
Thank you so much for the real review Floss!! When the cash is just right, I’ll be upgrading my XM4’s for XM5’s. I get a discount at work so that will help make the new ones cheaper to get. It’s so good to see Sony stepping up their game so much that it gets a triple major go. You are simply the king, Floss. Even my bosses at work listen to Flossy Carter before they make a purchase. Peace.
Excellent video as always! One quick suggestion if you think it's worth it - try using samsung call recording feature (not sure if it's available in your region) to showcase environmental noise cancellation on calls. The fact that these are cancelling wind noise to zero is unbelievable and I would've loved to listen to a sample!
I literally just bought the overhead XM5 headphones earlier today after watching your review on that 🤣, wasn’t expecting to see the earbud version reviewed today already, didn’t even know they existed 😂
I like that they nailed everything in a much smaller compact size. I would love to get one but I am still rocking my Sony Linkbuds S (white). Its just so good, so light.
Listening to this on my wf1000xm4s. Lol. The only thing I dont like about the 4s is the size, but it wasn't a deal breaker. If these are better AND they got the size right, looks like I'm upgrading.
@@cdb7876 Varta CP1254, its not a proprietary battery so you canbuy them almost anywhere (bought mine online). You can open them just by prying it on the side and the procedure is quite simple. Ill look for the video and send it here.
I'm in the market for my 1st pair of wireless earbudz and will get the silver M5's. Thanx Floss for not going with a sponsored video and keepin' it real
Been seeing a bunch of reviews on these earphones but the review i have been waiting the most with the highly prestige stamp of approval is flossy's vids
Man I'm real tempted by these. Got the XM4s and while I enjoy them, they do feel pretty big. The XM5s address a lot of the problems I have with the XM4 and the case is actually real close in size to the Airpods Pros. Might wait for the price to drop a bit though, $300 feels a bit steep
I'm in the same dilemma. Wondering whether it's better to wait till the holiday sales. But I'll be traveling soon and I'm debating whether the better ANC will be worth it.
After ditching the XM3's and XM4's I promised myself no Sony's for me anymore. But as soon as I saw ElJefe and DHRME going on about these new XM5'S I just went ahead and ordered them on Amazon. They now tick all the boxes for me even though Sony is on the soft side of volume. Thanks Floss for emphasizing my right choice.
Floss I really liked the way you did this review, it was a nice change of pace you talking about the product before the unboxing, and you also summed up some other points. These might be my new pair of headphones!
I made my comment last night, supporting you doing the sponsor video. I will always do that because I never know someone’s financial situation, nor is it my business. All that said, I respect the hell out of you for turning down the 💰 to tell your over 1,000,000 subs, hell, maybe 2,000,000 the truth. Your humor, your knowledge and of course, White Shoes, is why I love this channel.
Honest question, Floss. Long time fan here. Love what you do. I’ve been watching a lot of headphone, ear bud reviews and the thing that stands out to me is that many other vloggers (DHRME comes to mind), play actual samples of sound, noise cancelling, pass through. You just play what you hear and describe it. It’s subjective. Will you ever take it to the next level and let your fans hear what you actually hear or is it always gonna be a “just listen to my reaction as I listen to the buds”? I’m always gonna be here for you and White Shoes. I just wanna keep it real and give honest feedback. Don’t be mad. I ain’t hating.
Real activity for doing the Real Review. I saw the comments on the video where you asked the fans and we wouldn't have blamed you for takin the bag, but you kept it real anyway. Big ups. Great review. Sony going crazy.
Big Floss Man, you never disappoint. Thank you so much for keeping it Real and giving us the Real Review. We never want you to hold back cause God knows there’s enough giant corporations out there telling us what to say and think as it is.
I do like Sony, I have had a pair of over ear headphones from them for years, but since they are in storage now, i have different ones. Before that I loved my Sony's. Now It's LG Tone, I can't get enough of them lmao
I needed a new pair of earbuds after my Samsung galaxy buds 2. They lasted a year before they died. I drive 45 minutes everyday to and from work and needed something good. You convinced me to buy them and so far they are damn fine.
Brother Flossy, this is the video I was waiting for. I love your honest reviews to be frank. The B&O and the Bose are my daily’s right now. I love the sound from the 4’s but my ears got tired from wearing them. I can’t wait for the 5’s.
To tap one side of the ear bud to go into transparency mode is absolutely dope plus Sony app customizable features is desirable and is a necessity. Speak to chat is madly dope 💯✊🏾.
I purchased WF-1000XM4 after watching the review on this channel. I also had some Power Beats Pro but lost one earbud, so I'm looking for earbuds that are Android-focused, and *have wireless charging* (I also have the RGB wireless charger from Razer, I fell in love when I saw your review of the charger). These WF-1000XM5 fit PERFECTLY besides my headphones and I'm super happy that they have wireless charging.
The XM5 review I’ve been waiting for. Did not disappoint!👍🏻 I use EXCITED on my XM4’s. I hope the XM5’s doesn’t have the Battery Drain issues like the XM4’s
A sony update screw that up. When i buy these im gonna turn off auto update and will install in only after a few weeks if i see people are happy with the update
I had left mine in the case for a few days and come back to left one 20% right one 60% had the m4s for under a year and also if my left one is fully charged it will last about 40mins.
Floss not going to lie, I have never paid $300 bucks for no earbuds. Im definitely a phone guy(Samsung rules) but your review got me! Have to get these! U are the man! Peace!
Pulled the trigger on the Sony WF-1000XM5 after watching your review. They are amazing 😊 Only Con for me is the foam buds. Just didn’t feel they were secure enough in my ear. Just swapped them out for a pair of silicone ones I had on my last headphones.
I always love your honest and chill reviews. I had these in my cart, pre ordered status and I think I’m gonna hit that purchase button based on what you said and opinions. Plus I really loved the xm4.
Looks and sound excellent. But I'm skeptical to get the first batch of this product. Based on my experience, when I purchase my XM4, the battery sucks after 6 months and fortunately warranty still applies and they replaced it. But this XM5 will in my wish list and when the software is stable.
Xm5 and 15 pro max are on my wishlist and I have my reasons. #1. My current earbuds (soundcore life dot 3i) have Bluetooth issues and battery issues. They hardly stay in my ears even with the biggest ear tips. #2 my 13 pro max has touch screen issues that are hard to explain.
When I'm using this XM5 while driving, it's ANC made me as if I'm driving a Rolls Royce 😅 sooo quiet, no more annoying road or tire low noise. I can even play a very soft piano solo tracks without much effort (It was real time recorded on the Headphone app, I was listening that at around 60dB only and still, I can hear every details!). Overall audio performance is very balance, everything was very natural without any artificial compression/saturation (EQ was set to flat). Although I haven't tried the phone quality, but still I believe it's still the best in it's class. Good job for Sony!
I just ordered the B&O Beoplay EX. All thanks to you. They may not have perfect ANC or wind isolation. But good material and clear sounds is needed, because they check all other boxes
I really wish Sony would stop with these ridiculous product “names”. It would help them market their products so much better if they had names that normal consumers could actually recognize. Doing their great products a disservice tbh
I have to say I own the XM4s still and back then hated the foam tips, they hurt so bad. The new XM5s are so good, no more hurting ears, the ANC is insane
i bought the WH-1000XM5, loved them so much i bought the WF-1000XM5. Down loaded the FX SOUND app. I highly recommend them, they might be bigger than what i've been used to, but the don't fall out and lying down bothers me not a jot.

I'm in the market for my 1st pair of wireless earbudz and will get the silver M5's. Thanx Floss for not going with a sponsored video and keepin' it real
Been seeing a bunch of reviews on these earphones but the review i have been waiting the most with the highly prestige stamp of approval is flossy's vids
Man I'm real tempted by these. Got the XM4s and while I enjoy them, they do feel pretty big. The XM5s address a lot of the problems I have with the XM4 and the case is actually real close in size to the Airpods Pros. Might wait for the price to drop a bit though, $300 feels a bit steep
I'm in the same dilemma. Wondering whether it's better to wait till the holiday sales. But I'll be traveling soon and I'm debating whether the better ANC will be worth it.
Going to wait till Xmas when hopefully the price will go down.
I agree $300+ tax is a rip-off.
After ditching the XM3's and XM4's I promised myself no Sony's for me anymore.
But as soon as I saw ElJefe and DHRME going on about these new XM5'S I just went ahead and ordered them on Amazon.
They now tick all the boxes for me even though Sony is on the soft side of volume.
Thanks Floss for emphasizing my right choice.
in the same boat my friend.
You are literally THE KING of reviews. I wish you nothing but fortune and success.
Nah nah nah, don’t act like this man didn’t just pull out a cardboard box with thousands of dollars worth of headphones in it! 😂 My guy Floss!
Right??! @5:59, I was like 😳😳😳😲! Floss ain't playin'!!
You respectfully declined a sponsor just to give us an authentic review? U just earned a new subscriber right here!!!🙌🏾
Floss I really liked the way you did this review, it was a nice change of pace you talking about the product before the unboxing, and you also summed up some other points. These might be my new pair of headphones!
I appreciate that!
@@FlossyCarter No problem, excited for your Samsung Fold 5 video.
I made my comment last night, supporting you doing the sponsor video. I will always do that because I never know someone’s financial situation, nor is it my business. All that said, I respect the hell out of you for turning down the 💰 to tell your over 1,000,000 subs, hell, maybe 2,000,000 the truth. Your humor, your knowledge and of course, White Shoes, is why I love this channel.
You need to make a playlist and add all your earbud videos to it
i preordered these and should have them Friday...
Honest question, Floss. Long time fan here. Love what you do. I’ve been watching a lot of headphone, ear bud reviews and the thing that stands out to me is that many other vloggers (DHRME comes to mind), play actual samples of sound, noise cancelling, pass through. You just play what you hear and describe it. It’s subjective. Will you ever take it to the next level and let your fans hear what you actually hear or is it always gonna be a “just listen to my reaction as I listen to the buds”? I’m always gonna be here for you and White Shoes. I just wanna keep it real and give honest feedback. Don’t be mad. I ain’t hating.
Ordered. I've been waiting for these and after seeing your review, I knew they were GOD TIER. Mad love Floss
Hey so what’s your thoughts? I just ordered also
Dope video OG! Still waiting for my pre-order to arrive and UPS is moving mad slow.😂
Will They Arrive friday
@@angeljose133 I hope so!
@@ELJefeReviews I'II Be waiting on that review By the way My wallet is crying cause i pre order them today and pre ordering galaxy watch 6 tomorrow
I told everyone HONESTY IS THE WAY. THANK YOU MY BROTHER.
2:29 petty Roosevelt was satisfied with the size 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Real activity for doing the Real Review. I saw the comments on the video where you asked the fans and we wouldn't have blamed you for takin the bag, but you kept it real anyway. Big ups. Great review. Sony going crazy.
I appreciate that!
Big Floss Man, you never disappoint. Thank you so much for keeping it Real and giving us the Real Review. We never want you to hold back cause God knows there’s enough giant corporations out there telling us what to say and think as it is.
floss, please please please never stop making these videos... we love you brother
I do like Sony, I have had a pair of over ear headphones from them for years, but since they are in storage now, i have different ones. Before that I loved my Sony's. Now It's LG Tone, I can't get enough of them lmao
I needed a new pair of earbuds after my Samsung galaxy buds 2. They lasted a year before they died. I drive 45 minutes everyday to and from work and needed something good. You convinced me to buy them and so far they are damn fine.
how about the mic quality in noisy environment?
@@av365 No one I've been on the phone with has complained yet.
Brother Flossy, this is the video I was waiting for. I love your honest reviews to be frank. The B&O and the Bose are my daily’s right now. I love the sound from the 4’s but my ears got tired from wearing them. I can’t wait for the 5’s.
Floss your reactions to good music and good sound is just epic! Can hear how happy you are! Have a blessed one Floss!
The only headphones/earphone reviewer I trust tbh excited for theseeee
To tap one side of the ear bud to go into transparency mode is absolutely dope plus Sony app customizable features is desirable and is a necessity. Speak to chat is madly dope 💯✊🏾.
Thank you for not doing sponsored content and keeping it REAL! I really appreciate you letting us have a say either way!
I purchased WF-1000XM4 after watching the review on this channel. I also had some Power Beats Pro but lost one earbud, so
I'm looking for earbuds that are Android-focused, and *have wireless charging* (I also have the RGB wireless charger from Razer, I fell in love when I saw your review of the charger).
These WF-1000XM5 fit PERFECTLY besides my headphones and I'm super happy that they have wireless charging.
The XM5 review I’ve been waiting for.
Did not disappoint!👍🏻
I use EXCITED on my XM4’s.
I hope the XM5’s doesn’t have the Battery Drain issues like the XM4’s
The battery drain on the XM4 is wild.
A sony update screw that up. When i buy these im gonna turn off auto update and will install in only after a few weeks if i see people are happy with the update
I had left mine in the case for a few days and come back to left one 20% right one 60% had the m4s for under a year and also if my left one is fully charged it will last about 40mins.
Floss not going to lie, I have never paid $300 bucks for no earbuds. Im definitely a phone guy(Samsung rules) but your review got me! Have to get these! U are the man! Peace!
I buy all my stuff based on flossy carter advice 🤙🏼
Pulled the trigger on the Sony WF-1000XM5 after watching your review. They are amazing 😊 Only Con for me is the foam buds. Just didn’t feel they were secure enough in my ear.
Just swapped them out for a pair of silicone ones I had on my last headphones.
I always love your honest and chill reviews. I had these in my cart, pre ordered status and I think I’m gonna hit that purchase button based on what you said and opinions. Plus I really loved the xm4.
Flossy always has our back when it comes to finding quality tech!
Floss don’t mess around when it comes to earbuds!
Driven by this review. Amazing earbuds. Just got some today and seriously happy with them. Thanks Flossy (and White Shoes).
Looks and sound excellent. But I'm skeptical to get the first batch of this product. Based on my experience, when I purchase my XM4, the battery sucks after 6 months and fortunately warranty still applies and they replaced it. But this XM5 will in my wish list and when the software is stable.
Xm5 and 15 pro max are on my wishlist and I have my reasons. #1. My current earbuds (soundcore life dot 3i) have Bluetooth issues and battery issues. They hardly stay in my ears even with the biggest ear tips. #2 my 13 pro max has touch screen issues that are hard to explain.
When I'm using this XM5 while driving, it's ANC made me as if I'm driving a Rolls Royce 😅 sooo quiet, no more annoying road or tire low noise. I can even play a very soft piano solo tracks without much effort (It was real time recorded on the Headphone app, I was listening that at around 60dB only and still, I can hear every details!).
Overall audio performance is very balance, everything was very natural without any artificial compression/saturation (EQ was set to flat).
Although I haven't tried the phone quality, but still I believe it's still the best in it's class. Good job for Sony!
The wind test is important for daily use..please inform us if you test calls in noisy and windy environment..thank you flossy😊
I just ordered the B&O Beoplay EX. All thanks to you. They may not have perfect ANC or wind isolation. But good material and clear sounds is needed, because they check all other boxes
Mad Respect! Compared to Technics AZ80 - audiophile - Top 5?
Been holding off on these until I saw your review. Pre Ordered my pair as you were wrapping up the review!!
I really wish Sony would stop with these ridiculous product “names”. It would help them market their products so much better if they had names that normal consumers could actually recognize. Doing their great products a disservice tbh
I'm a Big fan of yours from India I've never seen anyone review tech products completely unbiased non sponsored ❤❤
That's wat I'm talking about Floss... hell yeah & One Luv!
I hate to break it to you Mr Flossy, but we are all here to hear you sing!
And of course...
Mr Whiteshoes
Great and amazing review like always! I was wondering if you could please review the Polaroid p2 speaker?
I have to say I own the XM4s still and back then hated the foam tips, they hurt so bad. The new XM5s are so good, no more hurting ears, the ANC is insane
The problem I had with my xm4 is Sony software went whack and I got some crazy battery drain after like less than a year
Same, this is why I sold them for the Bose QCII
Same
I've got these and the 4s. I think the 4s fit my ears the 5s are unbelievable for the sound
Thanks for the review floss,do you prefer these or the sennheiser momentum true wireless 3?
i bought the WH-1000XM5, loved them so much i bought the WF-1000XM5. Down loaded the FX SOUND app. I highly recommend them, they might be bigger than what i've been used to, but the don't fall out and lying down bothers me not a jot.
