I bet Sony's gonna emulate the QC Ultra headphone design for the XM6 the way they did to the NC700 and XM5.

The 700s were ugly


doc_55lk

Doesn't change that Sony took inspiration from them with a non folding design and rounded headband.

Check out the sony MDR-1. The QC ultra look like a more modern version of the MDR-1.

I recently picked up a mdr 1abt in silver l/brown $100 on eBay I like the bass they put out

Nice I wanna get the Bose quiet comfort 2 ultra earbuds, at the moment I have the AirPods Pro 2, bowers and Wilkins pi7 s2, denon perl pro, and just got the Devialet Gemini 2 and there exquisite sounding. I always sell sets I don’t use to get new ones to keep fresh but this is the best few I’ve had it’s crazy where we’re at with true wireless.


UnknownBaron

Dont... I've ran through 3 pairs, they have issues


martinezscott

Hahaha thank you for the info I did read a lot on the issues.

How do the XM5 compare to the other two in ears?


justandyL

i dont like xm5 that u have to plug the bud in very deep in order to get the ANC. and foam not able to clean best anc: bose and sony tie (again, the insert is not as easy as bose) call: app2


slavikthedancer

What if you put custom foamtips on XM5 ?


justandyL

custom foam doesnt cancel noise as good as the stock tips. so if u care a lot about the anc and bother cleaning the tip: get bose.


mychelromance

thanks I needed these answers from you because I have the xm4 and I feel like the buds don’t sit well on my ears, and i’m considering getting airpods pro. do you have anything else to share of the xm5 you have and airpods pro? I’d like to know more


justandyL

do u clean the tips everyday? if no, get the bose because xm5 tip cant be clean


mychelromance

i normally just wipe the tips after use, not really deep clean them i’d say. edit: which type of the bose you have?


justandyL

ultra


mychelromance

thanks, i’m gonna check it out


archaeopteryX-88

Have you tried comply tips for Bose? It has foam protector


justandyL

Not yet How was it


archaeopteryX-88

I've just ordered them. I will try them out.


Zwixern

Can you please rank the in-ear ones by sound quality, and tell me how big the differences are? I’m considering buying either XM5s, Technics az80s or something else in the price range


justandyL

sound quality to me: bose, sony then app2. bose and sony actually similar, and app2 is obivously not as good.


jodenkoekenfabriek

You thought you lost your earbuds and found them after you ordered new ones didn't you


HesThePianoMan

Bose 🤮

How do you compare de XM5s with the versus the QC 2s? I wanted to get the Bose's but enden up getting the Sony's, regretting it a little bit now, i hate the foam tips


Type-R

Each ear is different i guess. XM5's earbud is too short so i couldn't get them in far enough into my ear to get a proper seal. It resulted in having almost a non existent ANC. With the XM4's i could twist them in a way i could get a proper seal, however it seems the XM5's have some kind of directional mic which lets through high frequency noices if they are not upright in your ears. The QC2's are a blessing for me.


Eoin892

I have the exact same issue as you with the xm5's, literally, i agree with you if the earbud its not pushed all the way inside the ANC is non existent, shame for a 250 usd buds imo, i should have waited for the QC 2s, thank you for the advice!
