Two of the best earbuds money can buy
The speaker to chat is triggered by your vibrating skull. I have the xm5 and speaking softly won’t trigger the speak to chat. I have several Sony buds and headphones and have recently decided to switch since the recent firmware update ruined my xm4 and linkbud batteries in which they don’t hold a charge and Sony makes you jump through hoops to get a replacement even though they acknowledge their firmware ruined the battery.
Really cool presentation style
Why not compare sound?!
No sounds opinion? Pity!
MOUMITA RAHMAN MY SPOUSE I LOVE YOU
JIDE!!!! You’re back 😊
Great review of features. Nice way you tested them.⛲⛲🌆🌅🌄
Thanks to the option of watching at 1.5x speed lmao
Airpods are better than any crappy android headphones. I own a iphone and pixel. The crappy pixel always crashes using just YouTube, which is a google app. 😅😂
It would be nice if the AirPods didn't cost $250 when you can get something that is a little cheaper which also works with iOS or Android.
But how do they sound tho?
I wish conversation awareness didn’t trigger while singing.
Sony has ldac and ldac is built into android since android 8.0 and ldac works with any android device and is only compatible with android devices.
Such a great comparison and you clearly laid out the pros and cons based on needs. Aaaaaand it was amazing to see another brother on CNET. Very well done, Jide.
Finally, a little color has joined the CNET staff!
Xm5 music sound is just too incredible
A little? A LITTLE?! XM5 GIVES YOU A LOT MORE CONTROL THEN APPLE 😂☠️ come on bro don’t be a chill
DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE A EAST MIDLAND RAILWAY TRAIN!!?!! great r/v.
But I much prefer secure offline transmission over "Perfectly" staged phone calls.
How's all the retirees at News International/Benghazi? Is the nation proud of them?
Did they all catch me flipping off the two ferns, neighbor Jeff? We want you to fight an entire Army Corps of chokeholders.
Great review of features. Nice way you tested them.
Does full control in the Sony mean “we don’t know how to run ml models in a chip so small. So, as a customer, adaptive mode means you manually changing settings in a separate app you have to install for this purpose”?
If that is the case, is it’s price in comparison to the AirPods justified for the tech you get??
I don't have the opportunity to test either of those, but how well do they work during a call in a nosy area?
Oh wow …Do you know that
Great video and editing. Very informative. Thank you!
