2020年8月12日 · Is it worth the upgrade from the XM3, for £120/$200 more (as the XM3 price has dropped). Probably not, when it comes to just sound quality or Active Noise Cancelling. However, I think the XM4 will be more future proof and will receive more updates than the XM3, hopefully with further improvements of the ANC, so in that respect, a great purchase.

2023年7月13日 · I've tried both; I have the XM4 and my brother has the XM3. Sound quality is pretty much the same between them when equalizers are the same and music is the same. Only tangible difference comes in ANC. The XM4 are noticeably better at silencing the outside world, at the cost of an audible hiss which isn't present in the XM3.

2020年12月5日 · I recently upgraded to XM4 from XM3. The incremental upgrades they did was really impressive. The ear detection and the snappier touchbar, with a more realtime cover to hear (opposed to 1 sec delay in xm3). They also improved the finish making it more scratch resistant and less glossy. The multipoint connection is handy too.

2022年6月1日 · I would advise to stay with the xm3. The xm5 have a software issue, where the full anc is only activated if external loudness passes a certain threshold. That is in my estimation quite high, so most of the time you will be stuck on "normal" mode, and here, the xm3 will cancel up to twice as much noise as the xm5. I have used xm3,4,5 in the past.

2020年11月24日 · I own both the xm3's and xm4's. Personally I upgraded for the sound quality. The xm4's have less bass, toned down mid range, and better instrument separation. They are more comfortable listen to for longer periods of time. On the other hand, the xm3's have overloaded bass and an overwhelming mid range. The overall sound is boomier/more impactful.

2022年5月17日 · The XM4 offers multipoint connecting, the auto pause sensor and the ability to use LDAC and the Sony Headphones app EQ simultaneously. IMO the XM3 sound slightly bassier than the XM4 , but other than that there is not much difference in their sound. If the features mentioned above are things that you would like, choose the XM4.

2022年10月5日 · Price wise, getting the XM3 seems obvious, but I worry that the tech might become obsolete or updates might not come soon, just a speculation though. I will wear the headphones for a big amount of time (more than 5 hours straight each day) and I can’t pinpoint which ones are more comfortable. I’ve a small head and small to medium ears.

2022年2月2日 · I've heard reviews say they sound the same and I've also heard reviews say the Xm4 sounds way better and has a wider soundstage Do I need to worry about potential obsolescence with the xm3? Is the ANC that much better in the Xm4? There's a Rs.8000 difference between the two right now, which translates to about $110.

Clearly you like very clear and nice sound, and unfortunately that's just something you don't get with Sony. I think the Sony sound signature on the xm3 was so terrible compared to my Sennheisers I ended up going with bang and olufsen h9 3rd gen. I can only imagine most other brands having much better sound than Sony, but not better ANC.

2023年12月3日 · XM4 vs XM5 Quick comparison I want to start saying that this is all based on my personal experience and opinion and you may feel differently. Things going for the XM5s: •Slightly Better sound across the board •Comfier to wear and feel lighter •More interesting design •Bluetooth connection feels quicker.
