"Do not put on noise cancellation and ride your bike. Do not do that. You WILL get hit by a car... scary tier, getting robbed tier." 😂love your videos man. Funny yet really informative every time. Had the Sony MDR1000x (until they snapped) and they had the best ANC I've ever experienced. Being on an plane and not being able to hear anything was a dream. Hoping these MD5s are the same + even better audio & mic quality!
These videos never ever ceases to amaze me. The smile on my face gradually gets bigger as I'm watching and floss's hype levels increase. Especially as he's going through each EQ setting. I was genuinely waiting for this video. I was wondering if I should upgrade my M4s and go with the M5s. So far, it's looking like I'm about to make the jump.

Shout out to White Shoes as well for always being on deck to make sure the products are tested for quality 👌🏽 The videos wouldn't be the same without her. Great job as always! 👏🏽
I LITERALLY just did this yesterday while looking for new headphones. I was in love soon as I put them on. I felt like I was in the store ALONE. The Quick Attention feature was DOPE. I couldn't push myself to spend the money when the Beats Studio Pro was on sale 😢.
@@Bleek904saaaaame… i got my studio beats pro on sale for under 200. i tested the xm5 myself too and their good. but honestly cant decide which to get, the XM5 or the bose ultra
Sony M5 is the truth. To think I though no one was taking down the apple max but boy was I wrong. The M5 is insanely good. Awesome video Flossy you never disappoint
@@Latgj I’m not talking about price, I just don’t like heavy ass headphones, felt like I had a brick on my head…defeats the purpose of wearing it.. not worth it.. good for 5 min tho
Been rocking my Sony WH-1000XM3’s ever since Carter did his reviews on them a few years back. I’ve worn them on planes, on tractors, in skid steers, in vehicles. They’ve been covered in dust and dirt and felt -50c and yet they’ve never skipped a beat. The battery is absolutely fantastic, they usually last me 2 weeks between charges with being used for on average an hour a day, the sound quality is still second to none, and the comfort hasn’t diminished whatsoever. Sony brings it to the table when it comes to wireless headphones and earbuds and I’m so thankful to have someone like Carter on UA-cam to point consumers in the right direction. Thank you for making the most of our money
Mine arrived on Sunday...excellent noise canceling and the audio is great. Call quality is no joke...makes loud backgrounds quiet for the person you talking to..very comfortable too.
Just picked these up yesterday! They are so much lighter and more comfortable than my XM4s and they sound better too. The bass is more dynamic and clear.
I have always bought bose and have enjoyed them. However I recently purchased the Sony M4 in ear headphones, and man, I was blown away! I currently own the QC 35 II and QC 45. Definitely considering purchasing these bad boys. Very tempted. Awesome review.
these are the first wireless headphones ive ever purchased and honestly i dont have a bad thing to say about it. i can definitely see how people are upset about them not being able to fold, especially since theyre for travel. most of the time, i usually wear them around my head or have a lot of space prepared to fit them in my bag anyway. ive been truly wearing them almost all day, everyday, since i got them and theyre v comfortable. after messing with the eq settings theyre great sounding as well. the app is great, everything is great. ambient sound isnt the best but it does its job enough for me, personally. i got the white ones and dont really notice any fingerprints either and theyre so light to wear its v nice. i dont think anyone would be upset if they purchase these but the M4s seem just as great, especially at their pricepoint right now.
Try the Air Pod Pro’s. The noise cancellation is so much better. I own the pods and Xm-5. It’s not even close. Xm-5’s are nice, but like 69% of the noise cancellation. Apple AirPods is more like 98%. I like the Sony, but these weren’t worth $400.
yeah lmaoo. ive been using them literally everyday now and even had a flight where i used them. definitely a good purchase that i dont regret. idk if airpod pros are the way to go in terms of anc … the battery life on the sonys are also literally a life saver- i barely charge them and they last for so long. trust me, i use them for 6+ hours daily with studying, gaming, etc. the only part to be weary about is the headband part because its pretty thin, in terms of width, so the concentration point doesnt span out like a wider one would, if that makes sense. therefore it took some getting used to.
The only complaint I had of these were the cheap quality for the cushion. I bought a bass boosted headset a couple years ago from sony and the cushion on those felt so much betterm nice and firm and felt good even after a year of constant use
Came back to watch this. Still don't have the money for these yet, but I'm hoping I'll get them soon enough. I just love Floss's presentation. This video gave me nostalgia. ☺️
Haven't visited you in a while. Just saw you got 1.83M subscribers. Well done, bro. Been with you a long time. Good to see you're growing and still giving the best reviews on the Internet.
I use it for drumming. The anc is that good. I still have issues when i wear glasses tho. I dont get a great seal. The headphones r super comfy and the audio quality is decent enough. Great headphones
What's funny is me and a coworker of about 6 years were talking about wireless earbuds and I told him about the soundpeats that you posted a few weeks ago for around 20 bucks. He said he'd check them out. The next day he comes in and was like "I'm looking at reviews on UA-cam,I got a go to guy " Lo and behold it was Flossy. I was like that's crazy bruh. I've been following him for years lol
Bruh not gone lie got recommended your video while scrolling on UA-cam off my TV. Turned it on and lemme tell you I had to grab my phone to comment on this video. You got me hyped off your review. Was bouncing between the airpod max but you convinced me to get these. I instantly went to Amazon and made my purchase good stuff. Just subscribed.
Love your vids flossy, especially the ending where you do the rankings. always makes it easy for me to know where they compare. My only gripe with the XM5s is that they dont collapse/fold like the XM4......If they made XM5 with the collapsibility of the XM4 it would have been perfect
I watched this video before when you reviewed these headphones. But I had to watch it again when I got mine a few days ago because damn... the noise cancellation in these is really "GET ROBBED TIER"! Unbelievable noise cancellation. And the audio experience is really good too.
Same. Kind of a drawback for me, which is good as I’m looking for a reason not to cry as I purchased my M4 from Best Buy earlier this month and it past return policy. I’m a sucker for new product version though
Sony stated these are not a complete replacement for the XM4, while they are better the 4 is better for traveling for me I'm upgrading to the 5s since I do not travel alot. Sony is going to continue making the xm4 and xm5 side by side
That ability to fold is a miss. I can stick the XM2, XM3 and XM4 carry cases in my work backpack. The XM5 case is the size of a mini-backpack or woman's purse and take up too much room in my backpack. Also I would like to see Sony shorten the name.
Got them last week. Fantastic pair of headphones! After my xm4 fell into the pool (rip). Noise cancelling is even better than the xm4 and especially my voice on the other side of the phone is waaaay better. Also sound quality is pretty much as good as the xm4 if not better. Yes they have smaller drivers but they are more efficient. Also the box is compostable
I don’t even care about the headphones lol. I just came here for the review. Your the best in the game floss. I only buy products that you review because I know I’m getting an honest answer.
I heard mix reviews about these and I'm glad your posting these right now because I'm considering getting my wife and I a pair, I can wait for the comparison video.
After much doubt I decided to upgrade to these from the Bose QC35 2. Mostly had doubts because of the price and because they don’t fold. But, I’ve had them for 3 days now and they’re absolutely worth it. The upgrade from the ones I’ve had is huge, and when in their case, the Bose one is only slightly better. The comfort, sound and ANC are exquisite and they look pretty slick. And, the Bose NC had a noticeable pressure and sometimes gave me a headache. The mx5 doesn’t have that.
Your best review ever Floss!! Very comprehensive comparison all in the name of science. 😂 One thing, you kept calling the Bowers & Wilkins headphones "B&O." I do the same thing sometimes as I have a B&O sound system in my car but also have a pair of B&W headphones.
I have the Sony XM4 and they are painful, I might trade them in for these if they are comfortable. However, the Bose QC 45 are the best I've ever owned and the only headphones I have ever bought I can wear for 12 hours straight. I'm surprised floss you prolonged the review for the Bose QC 45. They are phenomenal!
What do you find uncomfortable about them? I ask because the XM5s are extremely comfortable for me except for how my ears rest against the drivers. Hasn't been as bad as I've had in other headphones I've had to return before, but the ear cups on my Jabra 85H were deeper.
The Sony headset I had stopped working after a year. The speaker sound would go in and out no matter what I plugged It Into. I sleep, eat, walk, talk, make music and calls with my headsets. lol..the quality of the build holds up with me. which is shocking to me and friends. now this version flossy is talking about must be a upgraded version..I like it. The quality..like with the type of metal ... And plastics and foam...I like it. I'm into the hardware first so I needed the sound reviews. Thanks Mr.flossy.
I am a truck driver. While driving a noisy tractor I make very clear calls and receive calls easily wearing the wh1000xm5s. All that trucker bullshit like blue parrot and the other brands are unnecessary and garbage to begin with. Like you I am blown away by the quality of these headsets. Fucking awesome!
I normally wait for a deal before I buy new headphones, I already had the XM4’s. I preordered these and glad I did, I manly bought these for the better fit on my big ears 👂. Wow! Better than I was expecting, NC, fit and phone call clarity are incredible.
Always watch floss videos to buy my techs. Real and entertaining, some other UA-camrs are good but boring af. Can actually watch from start to finish. I'll be picking up mx5 soon.
That movie was the shit man. Juice made me want to be a dj growing up big homie 👊🏾. That's what I'm talking about flossy can't go wrong with is it good to you. Along side with heavy d remake that song lol. Keep it up I'm enjoy the reviews on headphone and ear buds too. Stay blessed big homie.
Tried XM5's for two days and returned them, went back to XM4. New ones have auto NC optimizer which still hasn't been fixed. XM4 the best headphones because you choose how much NC you want and it stays like that. XM5's not recommended!
Quad major…dang! Well I was expecting it tho. Well done Floss! Btw: with great ANC comes great responsibility! I almost got hit by a car with my 1More Evo’s! That’s crazy!
Got my M4s over a year ago based on your review Floss and I'm not gonna upgrade for a while, no major upgrades imo more like downgrade with no folding lol. Still waited for the review of M5s tho, u the man Floss 👏
I really love the Airpods max ..but I had to sell it ..after about 45mins to an hour my neck is always stressed out and jaw line ..the ear always feels good tho...but you can love the headphone all you want but if you not comfortable you always wanna take it off and rest ....it seems the Sony XM5 is the way to go right now
@@defnotatroll it weighs approx. 385grams ...and for something you intend to wear for several hours for media consumption , music and travel ..that is alot of weight ... At least in my own experience .
I bought these from Best Buy. Best sounding best performance most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The sound stage is warm and engaging. These are the new king for comfort blowing the BOSE comfort out of the water! I believe they're underpriced for the quality they have.
Floss it would be cool if on the noise cancellation test you tell us how much of the baby crying you could hear from the different headphones, like could you hear a tiny bit or nothing at all
I brought them right now because of this review, thank you, I was this close to getting the XM4s to be honest. I need the call quality to be 👌 so far I love them, you’re so right they feel insanely light and comfortable
I remember few years ago I bought the M3s because i had only just watched Floss' video only for the M4s announcement to be drop the following week (wish i was part of the notification squad at the time.) I still have and use the M3s and probably will till like the M8s release and they get Flossy's approval. Till then keep up the great videos and always keeping it real.
This was a damn good video start to finish. Honestly I was surprised how high you ranked the M5s and how you forgot a pair of 400$ B&0 headphones for 3 years 😭 You helped me made 2 headphone purchases so far. Samsung Level Over and the Momentum 3s. As far as comfortably,futures and sound quality I hope the M5 don't let me down when I get them🙌
Not the slightest bit surprised by this review. I still have the sony wh1000-xm3s (based on floss review back then) and they are still my favorite over the ear headphones I've ever owned.
Been waiting on this one. Even though I already have them lol. As of this moment these have replaced my Airpods Max. I can deal with the transparency mode slight trade off. But these beat out on every other aspect IMHO.
I’m so late to the party but anyone interested in the B&O you want the Bang & Olufsen, manufactured in Northern Denmark…. Bowers & Wilkins we’re featured here and they’re the B&W, manufacturers are across Europe but are assembled in the South Coast of England… both are amazing, audiophile quality. Floss do a comparison for us! I love your videos bro! I usually check in with you and your take on shit, from headphones to earbuds to phones! The REAL review! Thanks man.
Used this and the Linkbuds S review to guide my purchase--will be sure to follow your links to the purchase next time. Sony over-ears are truly phenomenal. Thanks so much for the excellent reviews.
"Active noise cancelation is God tier, scary tier, get robbed tier." 😆🤣🤣🤣
No joke that’s why I returned them because I KNEW I was gonna get licked if I didn’t pay attention while on my walks.
I jus got my xm5z they clean but I wish they was shiny and not matte tbh😂😂
😂😂
Get ran over on an intersection tier… fam this shit is scary
😂😂😂
Not everyone has an appreciation for noise cancelation the way Flossy does, thank you Flossy for reviewing the Sony Headphones for us.
The Sony m4 are way better
People saying others are better 🤡
That’s complete bullshit
@@realkoko-loco typical apple user. Iv got airpod pros from when I had the iPhone 12. They got nothing on real over the ear headphones.

@@bfife22 I am about to trade my Sony XM4 for the XM5
@@bfife22 also buy the Bose QC 45 because to me comfort is the most important thing to me , no point of fancy features if your ears ache and burn
Man your reviews are so in depth youve helped me purchase like 8 or 9 products now. Thanks so much for the hard work you put into your vids bro ^^
Always love headphone reviews the energy is unmatched 🤣
The Sony headset I had stopped working after a year. The speaker sound would go in and out no matter what I plugged It Into. I sleep, eat, walk, talk, make music and calls with my headsets. lol..the quality of the build holds up with me. which is shocking to me and friends. now this version flossy is talking about must be a upgraded version..I like it. The quality..like with the type of metal ... And plastics and foam...I like it. I'm into the hardware first so I needed the sound reviews. Thanks Mr.flossy.
Amazing justification for the Sony M5. I was hyped with this video. Thank you Floss.
I got mine Friday and I’ve been dying for this review
I like the design of these, but I'm happy with my XM4s in that retro PS1 grey colour.
Flossy is going to have us poor!! His excitement makes you want to purchase errrrrr’thang!
I love when Floss says he's not going to sing but then proceeds to sin anyway...lol😂
Flossy's energy is contagious. Love it!
“I’m not gonna sing” 😂….always looking forward to this part
I am a truck driver. While driving a noisy tractor I make very clear calls and receive calls easily wearing the wh1000xm5s. All that trucker bullshit like blue parrot and the other brands are unnecessary and garbage to begin with. Like you I am blown away by the quality of these headsets. Fucking awesome!
Now that the M5 got Flossy Approved stamp, I have placed my order.
I normally wait for a deal before I buy new headphones, I already had the XM4’s. I preordered these and glad I did, I manly bought these for the better fit on my big ears 👂. Wow! Better than I was expecting, NC, fit and phone call clarity are incredible.
11:40 is the best part in the whole vid😂😂
Flossy-oke is my favourite 😂😂🎤
Always watch floss videos to buy my techs. Real and entertaining, some other UA-camrs are good but boring af. Can actually watch from start to finish. I'll be picking up mx5 soon.
Came for the XM5's, getting the JBL boombox. Thanks Floss!
Fan from Malaysia here. Only Floss does dat Flossy style. Lit. Appreciate the comparison there bruv.
That movie was the shit man. Juice made me want to be a dj growing up big homie 👊🏾. That's what I'm talking about flossy can't go wrong with is it good to you. Along side with heavy d remake that song lol. Keep it up I'm enjoy the reviews on headphone and ear buds too. Stay blessed big homie.
Yeah I remember seeing that in the movies😂
Tried XM5's for two days and returned them, went back to XM4. New ones have auto NC optimizer which still hasn't been fixed. XM4 the best headphones because you choose how much NC you want and it stays like that. XM5's not recommended!
Quad major…dang! Well I was expecting it tho. Well done Floss! Btw: with great ANC comes great responsibility! I almost got hit by a car with my 1More Evo’s! That’s crazy!
Based of this recommendation my wife bought her M5'S. These things are amazing, thanks Floss.
Got my M4s over a year ago based on your review Floss and I'm not gonna upgrade for a while, no major upgrades imo more like downgrade with no folding lol. Still waited for the review of M5s tho, u the man Floss 👏
How is your call quality?
Finally been waiting for this review before I pull the trigger
I really love the Airpods max ..but I had to sell it ..after about 45mins to an hour my neck is always stressed out and jaw line ..the ear always feels good tho...but you can love the headphone all you want but if you not comfortable you always wanna take it off and rest ....it seems the Sony XM5 is the way to go right now
Is it because of the weight?
@@defnotatroll yes the weight can be overbearing
@@Gadgetibles that's super interesting. I'm surprised something that only weighs 200g can have such an impact on the wearer
@@defnotatroll it weighs approx. 385grams ...and for something you intend to wear for several hours for media consumption , music and travel ..that is alot of weight ... At least in my own experience .
This has been the best video I've seen in a while you did Sony M5 especially at the end. Testing M5, Apple, Bose 45, Technics Headphones ect 👍🏾
If these headphones could be folded like the xm 4 ,IMO these would be the best headphones to buy
I bought these from Best Buy. Best sounding best performance most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The sound stage is warm and engaging. These are the new king for comfort blowing the BOSE comfort out of the water! I believe they're underpriced for the quality they have.
Floss it would be cool if on the noise cancellation test you tell us how much of the baby crying you could hear from the different headphones, like could you hear a tiny bit or nothing at all
I brought them right now because of this review, thank you, I was this close to getting the XM4s to be honest. I need the call quality to be 👌 so far I love them, you’re so right they feel insanely light and comfortable
I think Floss just invented the best ANC rating: ICHS: "I can't hear sh!t"
I remember few years ago I bought the M3s because i had only just watched Floss' video only for the M4s announcement to be drop the following week (wish i was part of the notification squad at the time.) I still have and use the M3s and probably will till like the M8s release and they get Flossy's approval. Till then keep up the great videos and always keeping it real.
Much respect brother 🙌🏽
This was a damn good video start to finish. Honestly I was surprised how high you ranked the M5s and how you forgot a pair of 400$ B&0 headphones for 3 years 😭 You helped me made 2 headphone purchases so far. Samsung Level Over and the Momentum 3s. As far as comfortably,futures and sound quality I hope the M5 don't let me down when I get them🙌
How Bowers & Wilkins are B&O?
Lol my mistake
Not the slightest bit surprised by this review. I still have the sony wh1000-xm3s (based on floss review back then) and they are still my favorite over the ear headphones I've ever owned.
I have been rocking my XM3 for years and thinking about getting these, and Floss got me about to drop 4 bills for it right now.
Been waiting on this one. Even though I already have them lol. As of this moment these have replaced my Airpods Max. I can deal with the transparency mode slight trade off. But these beat out on every other aspect IMHO.
I’m so late to the party but anyone interested in the B&O you want the Bang & Olufsen, manufactured in Northern Denmark…. Bowers & Wilkins we’re featured here and they’re the B&W, manufacturers are across Europe but are assembled in the South Coast of England… both are amazing, audiophile quality. Floss do a comparison for us! I love your videos bro! I usually check in with you and your take on shit, from headphones to earbuds to phones! The REAL review! Thanks man.
13:32 that’s the energy to have when you’re rocking out the Sony headphones lol
Used this and the Linkbuds S review to guide my purchase--will be sure to follow your links to the purchase next time. Sony over-ears are truly phenomenal. Thanks so much for the excellent reviews.
Thanks Alex, I appreciate that!
10 mins of charge for 5 hours playtime is pretty sick tbh. Shoes comes in the box? 😮😮😮
Can also get 3 hours charge from 3 mins. Crazy!
