On the XM4 sony did improve the microphones A LOT throught software updates and I bet they will here too. On top of that, here the problem seems to be some form of saturation, as it clearly is not a microphone issues, more like how the sound is processed. So I bet that it will get better pretty soon.

Must read if anyone is considering the XM5: I have a pair of old XM4’s. A firmware update screwed up the battery of my buds because the older models of the XM4 had a different battery and the new firmware was catered to the later models of the XM4 with the newer battery. This happened just after my buds warranty expired. Sony’s customer service is rubbish and still insists I pay for the repair. I would strongly discourage anyone from giving Sony a single cent. If you spend $300++ on earbuds, I’m sure you’ll expect to last at least a couple of years until you’re ready to upgrade. Not be screwed over by the manufacturer and be forced to upgrade to a new model. If this happened to the XM4, I’m sure Sony (following Apple’s footsteps) will do that to the XM5 when the XM6 comes out.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but that was pretty bad. I get a MUCH better microphone quality out of my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. If it wasn't for that microphone issue, I would be sold in a heartbeat! I look forward to further reviews from you with this set of earbuds.

Turning the ANC to the lowest helps it not be deafeningly loud but then you hear everything else... bad for commuting via train basically. Not to mention aptX is a promise which may never come for these buds. Not to mention constant connection issues, whether dropping out entirely or the app not connecting at all unless you keep factory resetting.

I don't understand why these are $299, that's ridiculous. I have the discontinued Sony WF-XB700 which cost $129 but sometimes were on sale for a bit less. Although they are part of Sony's 'extra bass' series they sound perfectly balanced with the mids and treble n my opinion. There is no support for Sony's Headphone Connect app but it is unnecessary and II have no desire to tweak the audio. Even at full volume they sound intense and crisp without compromise to any frequency. Also, even at about 75% volume they're so loud they can cause ears to rin so enjoy your own personal mobile concert wherever you go. The ear tips isolate sound so well that it's difficult to hear ambient noise which is amazing and justifies the lack noise-cancellation (which I did not want anyways). I am an audio enthusiast and aspiring musician yet I have recommended Sony WF-XB700 to many people for their build quality, relatively sleek look, secure fit, high fidelity audio, impressively loud volume, portability, ease-o

Does the sony wf xm5 has enough bass?

The 1 downside to the Xm5 is that Sony's remove the option to turn on auto wind noise cancellation that they've had since the Xm3s. it sucks for those who use it outside or with a fan blowing at them.

so the feature isnt there any more or it has to be manually turned on every time?

@@MaSeshield There isnt any option to turn it on anymore. It used to be the Ambient mode option on the Xm3, Auto mode on the XM4 and now it's all gone on both the WH and WF XM5s. I doubt they would bake it into the auto NC itself because the WH-XM5 cannot for the life of it reduce wind noise.

You messed up , regarding the microphone. Sounds exactly like SBC codec. Which is trash. Earbuds default to SBC when there are compatibility issues. It happens every day for me while using MsTeams with Airpods Pro 2.

The question is: basically the right earbud is still the mother bud ("R" is red on the app)? Mono mode on the left earbud with Google Assistant activated is not possible for the XM5s then like their Linkbuds S? That's when the battery drain will be inconsistent too if some of us use one bud at a time, and in this case, the right earbud is the only usable one for mono mode.

There is zero bass with noise canceling off. You did not mention that. Have to use noise canceling to hear bass sounds.
