as someone who currently owns airpod maxes, sony xm5’s, and these beats studio pros, PLUG your beats in to charge the first time you unbox them. I don’t know why, but i’ve unboxed multiple pairs (4 pairs) of these new beats and they’re always out of sync volume wise when they’re unboxed. meaning if you change the volume on the headphones it doesn’t change the phones volume. this paired with subpar audio quality. the second you charge the headphones they sync properly, and the audio improves significantly. not a single review mentions this

@iconikreviews5377 3 місяці тому

Wow that’s crazy. Thanks for the tip. I have the XM5’s, Bose QC 2023, Sennheiser momentum 4, AirPods Max and Beats Studio pro. I’m not keeping them all but the APMX are the winner in my books. Saw the Beats Studio pro in brown and had to grab em bc the sale price was much lower than the other headphones mentioned above for holiday sales. Still haven’t opened them. Might just return them or keep them as a 2nd set of backup headphones to my main ones which are the APMX

@twistedfantasyy 3 місяці тому

I tried them both but settled with the Bose QC because it's the most comfortable out of the 3 (also tried the Momentum 4). I found the ANC to be great and the sound to be ok, altho the Sony sounds a bit better and its EQ is more customizable. I travel a lot and I found the Bose's case to be the best too because of its small footprint.

I bought a pair of the Studio Pros on sale for $180 and they were broken out of the box. A super loud hissing sound (Not the ANC) and the left speaker kept cutting out when songs bass would hit. I also have a bobble head and the beats were pretty dang tight on my head and not that comfortable. All surprising because my Studio 3's were great. I returned the studios and the store had XM5s for $250 and decided to try them out. Holy crap the XM5s are super nice. The controls and app on the XM5 are not the best and going from beats you will notice loss of convenience using something outside of the apple system but the noise canceling, sound quality, and comfort will quickly make you forgive this. In conclusion I wish I could have have afforded the Bose quite comfort ultra.

First time viewer here, great in depth video! I have the Sony XM4's and I can't really find too many videos to compare to these new Beats headphones but this is one of the best that I've seen. One thing about the battery category that's important to note, the Sony's might have overall longer battery life but the fact that you can get 4 hours of play time with only 10 minutes of charge with the Beats might make up for that for some people. And I don't think you told us which ones you would choose? lol But again solid video!

@jesuscervantesj82 2 місяці тому

The Sony xm5 are my go-to headphones. They are comfortable. Their ear pads are like pillows on my head. And the headband is great. Not perfect. They could have add more cushion on it, but it still comfortable as far as colors. If you waited long enough, you could get one of my favorite colors they make which is a navy blue and out of the black and silver. That would be the best color on the xm5. Also the sound quality is perfect. The bass is not too crazy and you get a fully refined application that allows you to custom and Tinker the headphones to your taste and for long flights. Also getting rid of noises when you just want to be in the groove with music the ANC on the Sony's is much better.

@c0uchsl0uch 4 місяці тому

I bought the beats on sale for $180 because i do like the sound signature. The ANC is good enough but not great. The fit is partially on ear but not uncomfy but also not super comfi, in between. At $180 its OKAY, but i surely would not pay $349, its just simply not worth $349. Also, i had to return the first set cause the left speaker was less powerful than right at any given sound level.

XM5 get a lot of flack for not being foldable and the case being big but u brought up very good point I’ve not heard in other reviews….the XM case is thinner. I travel a lot and always bring a backpack and the XM5’s long thinner case fits perfect and is more in line with the shape of an iPad or computer so it just kind of layers better. Plus not being able to fold reduces hardware makimg them lighter.

@rayzay95487 Місяць тому

I rather the Beats Studio Pro. Once the Beats get burned in they are the better choice. I had the Sony XM5 and I returned them. For one, the ANC is not superior, it’s subjective, and second…. You can’t turn the volume all the way up with out it trying to configure the sound which make it low. The Beats on the other hand gets really loud especially when you go in to music settings on the Apple ecosystem and turn off “Sound Check”.

@RoskovaQc 4 місяці тому

So the XM5 is a great choice? I look and Here in Canada, including shipping, protection plans and taxes, the Xm5 are 458$, and the Apple airpods max 958$… 958$… Do you smoke apple? The BSP are 491.50$ I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem but i need something to Work in noisy environments (#ADHD) Also, I know it’s very specific, but can the XM5 be used for audio return on DSLR/Mirrorless cameras? Oh and Great reviews + one sub!

@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha 2 місяці тому

8:05 Like most things apple does, this also has a reason: Their newest chip has a VERY poor compatibility with non Apple devices. Try out the Airpods Pro 2nd Gen my man, and try it with non Apple Devices like Windows PCs (it's my working PC and i don't have the choice there) and also with my Samsung Phone (also my company's device), the Airpods "don't like" them that much, like they do their apple brothers and sisters. It's hard to nail it down, but one concrete example was: On Windows, i had A LONG TIME just the Headset Profile available, not the Stereo Profile like on my Airpods Pro 1st Gen. Ridiculous right? But when i connected the 2nd Gen Case over USB to the PC for charging, something strange happend: Windows started installing additional drives and the Stereo Profile was there all of the sudden. And my Samsung Android also has it's issue, sometimes the connection works in an instant, sometimes i need to UNLOCK device, mid call to connect to the airpods... em really? So like i said, there is a VALID reason why apple using their older, but much more compatible stuff in those! Don't get me wrong: On Apple Devices they work like a charm: iPad, Macbook Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV back and forth, forth and back

@iconikreviews5377 4 місяці тому

It's a tough decision. The brown headphones look sooo good. Pretty disappointing that they need to be turned on if you want to use them with a wire. I love how the green bose qc headphones look too. Apparently the QC's have less bass than these beats pro and xm5's. Any thoughts on that? Thx

@bumkrilla5339 4 місяці тому

Depends what you like the quiet comfort are more accurate headphones they will indeed have less bass but more true to the source these new beats will sound like they have 0 bass compared to the older generations but it's still has a slight boost the xm5 has a huge boost you'll feel the most Rumble with the sony xm5 aka the fun factor and better sound quality everyone is kindof talking about I'm an audio purist so I like a more flat sound so the bose would be my personal choice but they do lack the low end Rumble they do have some decent bass when compared to the Sonys it will sound like they have little to no low end bass I own both my current favorite in the bose 700 nc more or less has the same sound as the bose quiet comfort but I personally like the fit of the 700 nc on my head more

@twistedfantasyy 3 місяці тому

I tried all 3 and went with the Bose. My priority was comfort and ANC since I use them to watch movies on my laptop just lounging around along with taking them to daily commutes to work. It had the best travel case too since it's small and it's hard-shell unlike the Beats. Sound quality isn't that much worse, it's just less fun because of its focus towards the mids and clarity but that's no big deal tbh hip hop is my fave genre and I can still listen to my favorite music with the Bose without issues.

@jesuscervantesj82 2 місяці тому

I tried most of them and I picked the xm5. They have a really cool refined app that offers a lot of tinkering so you can play around with an adjust the headphones to your preferences between equalizers and sound stages. Now, it's not going to be as complex as the Bose app, but they offered me a lot of things that I wanted and take the majority of my boxes. I'm just happy. I waited to pick these up because Sony never disappoints when they release my favorite color from the ones they offer which is midnight blue to me. It looks better personally over the black and the silver. I also like the earpads they're very comfortable like pillows the headband could get improved a bit by having more cushion in it, but it's not terrible overall. They take my boxes and that's what I went with as I find that ANC stellar for long flights and when ever you want noise out it gets it done

@iconikreviews5377 2 місяці тому

@@jesuscervantesj82 yeah the blue XM5’s look sick. That’s the colour I chose but unfortunately I returned them. Way too many reports of them breaking at the hinge. I tested a bunch of different models and ended up choosing 2, probably overkill. But I love the AirPods Max and the green Bose QC’s. They both sound very good and look very good. Nothing can come close to the transparency mode on the APM. You can hear everything as though you’re not even wearing headphones. It’s unbelievable

I can see from personal experience as a beats collector the beats studio pro headphones have the most solid, build quality of all the beach studios with this design and the studo3 have the finished and cheapest plastic out of all the headphones with this design and the studio 2.0 in between, but the pro is drastically better in terms of strength, even though it is thinner then the studio 2.0

@johancristophersalasflores6694 21 день тому

I was a loyal sony headphone user, I didn't have the XM5 but I had the XM4, the XM3 and XM5 esrbuds, even the cheaper XB910 and the app on these products is a game changer, the level of customization of ANC, EQ and even codec is very nice and convenient, in terms of sound, hands down to the XM earbuds! The bass and clarity was always there, on the other hand the headphones did not convinced me entirely, the lacking of bass on the XM4 and the muddiness of the XB910, I heard there is no much difference in sound signature between the XM4 and XM5 headphones, so maybe I wouldn't be so impressed, and finally the materials, they look and feel very nice at the beginning but after a few months you notice the cheapness on the built quality, they feel flimsy. Ovarall Sony make very good headphones and earbuds in functionality maybe they are the best, in sound quality I doubt it and according to materials and look they are on the bottom side, Beats look are so iconic and maybe a it's not worth a design change, I once had a solo 3 and let me tell you that my favorite part was the headphone design and the way they collpased also I really like the buttons on the side (they sound cheap, I know) but they are very durable, and comparing the sensations, materials and design I would pick Beats over Sony, anyway great review and comparison bro!!!

I really would like to know about the new Sony Ult Wear compared to the Beats.. WHY? Because the new ULTS are in a price sweet spot at 199$ and that's without the constant sales these things are always having. The Ult Wear JUST came out they're actually the sequel and upgrade version to the previous Sony BASS BOOSTED cans. The UPGRADE in terms of SOUND is supposedly QUITE SIGNIFICANT. These 200 Ult Wear vs the Beats in terms of sound quality I'd like to know about.
