    Amazing price for some great headsets. Will post my thoughts on XM4 vs XM5 from a previous thread

    I bought a pair of the XM5's for a mate who was daily driving the XM4's. As much as he appreciated the gift, after a week of testing, he went back to the XM4's. The foldability and comfort was a huge deal breaker for him. ANC and Sound profile were negligible between the two.

    I think sony messed up with the XM4's in a way! They were way too good of a product in so many ways. Now releases after can barely make improvements.

    • XM3 is not far off from XM4 too I heard…

      • +2

        The XM4 has better noise cancellation, but honestly I find the XM3's cancellation to be great already. Sound quality's pretty similar.

        The XM4 also has an on-head detection sensor, for whatever that's worth. Oh, and it can do multi-device pairing. I think there's a few other feature differences but yeah, XM3's are still excellent.

        • Yeh I would get the Soundcore Space Q45 or Sony XM3 if they go on sale again for around $100

      • I have the XM3 and I love them. I got them about two years ago from an Amazon black Friday deal (the kind of deal that puts the buyer in a queue) for $199.

        I've even replaced the pads with an after market version, still good. I left it way too long though, the old pads were getting so flat my ears were touching the speakers. The old pads also smelled mighty cheesy, like a really nice cheese, the kind that melts in your hand.

        ..anyway, the battery is also replaceable. I have no need to do that yet.

    XM5 is ~$340 new from MyDeal via Everyday Marketplace post 30% cashback.
    XM4 new is ~$255

    • +1

      XM4 showing $349 there?

      • Sure is

      • +2

        Sorry if that wasn’t clear the XM4 price is also post cashback

    • @jsjc little confused 30% of 349 is 104.70 so the price should be $245, right? Am I missing something?

      • +2

        I took out the GST component as it usually isn’t included in cashback, but I think I read in another post that it has been included for everyday market before so YMMV

    • Cashback Rates

      Everyday Market Purchases (Capped at $250) -> 30%

      Don’t think it will get down to $340 with this

      • +2

        The cashback is capped at $250, not the transaction cost

  • +5

    WH-1000XM5 have major hinge flaws. Reddit is full of posts about the issue. I'm on my 4th set is under 2 years (1x DOA, 2x Faulty touch pad and 1x just keeps cutting out). They sound amazing, but quality is poor.

    WH1000XM4 have much thicker and stronger hinges

    • +3

      Weird - my XM3's hinges failed after a year, but I've had my XM5's since release and they've been rock solid.

    • +5

      For the counter-side, I've had 0 issues with my XM5 hinge for years.

    • I'm on my 4th set in under 2 years (1x DOA, 2x Faulty touch pad and 1x just keeps cutting out).

      How unlucky are you!

    • Mine also has issues after a year and a half.

      Left side speaker completely dead.

    • +1

      Got mine from this deal back in 2022 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/745053.

      I've been using it daily and had 0 issues…

      Teams works perfectly on these pairs as well - no complaints with mics
      Audio is amazing!

    • My XM3s are under three years old and they have no damage at all. I never take them outside because they are only used for TV and gaming so that's likely why.

      I did try wearing them out once and my ears began to sweat two minutes later so I walked them back home.

  • +4

    Was considering XM4 or XM5, until I learnt they don’t connect to the PlayStation 5 (for secondary use)…. Such silliness from the same company

    • Just use the included aux to plug them into the controller

      • Yes, however it defeats the whole pricy point and purpose of the product - wireless functionality. (Especially from Sony)

        The last thing i’d want from an expensive piece of wireless tech is compromise in its usage and functionality - esp when lounging enjoying a movie or something (a cable, because of the designers oversight or lack of care?)

        It’s like buying a $5k tv and you’re handed a cabled remote control.

  • Hi guys, Sony Vs Sennheiser. How about Sennheiser Momentum TwS 4? Currently its $329 on eBay. But the price may drop below $300 for a full tax deduction.

  • +1

    Can anyone speak on what the refurbished actually means? Has anyone previously bought the XM4s?

    • +1

      I would imagine it'd be dead on arrival or within 2 week to 1 month return window. They'd probably fix the fault, change ear cushions, and sell as refurbished. Most refurbished products I've bought direct from manufacturers such as Dell are often indistinguishable from new.

    • +2

      I had bought the refurbed XM3's a few years ago, still use them multiple times a week. They honestly arrived looking brand new and couldnt tell any difference in quality compared to some xm4's I bought onsale brand new from TGG.

    • Literally just got my XM5 from Sony Refurbish few days ago. No one in my family believe I bought it second hand. They can only found my ear wax

      • Your earwax is that distinct?

  • +3

    Need damaged box rather than refurb…

    • Exactly. Ozb has turned from bargain hunters to op shop hobos. Cozzy liv could be a factor

  • I’d be waiting for a good deal on the Bose quietcomfort ultras

    • Do they have better anc?

      • I don’t have either. But watched a number of YouTube videos that compare the 2. The Bose have better anc and seem to be a better all rounder for what most people are looking for.

        Sony’s have more thumping bass if that’s what you are after.

        Pretty much all reviews I watched agree that the Bose are more comfortable too. I’m waiting for a Black Friday deal on the Bose to pick up a pair.

  • Has anyone here had any experience with getting seconds of the in-ears? I've got XM4 in-ears, and I don't really need to replace them, but the itch is there…

    • Same. I actually need new in-ears but have no experience with Sony refurbished products, so while tempted at this price I'm still a bit hesitant…

      • I have refurbs of the in-ear XM4s. Right earbud has stopped working after barely any use. Would not recommend.

    • I bought some seconds of the in-ears from this deal and I couldn't find a scratch (or ear wax) on the case or the buds . I can't speak of the quality as I've had them less than a week, but I was surprised that they looked like-new.

    Finally! Got one of the XM4s

    Thanks

    Awesome thank you for this..finally able to grab myself a pair of xm4's for a good price

    My Bose are starting to suffer from wear and tear

  • How do the wh xm4/xm5 sound when connected to a TV via Bluetooth?

    I'm currently using Steelseries Nova pro and they sound very flat. Looking for a more bassy sound.

    • +1

      Am using my xm5 with my Sony TV at nights. Works and sounds great.

      • Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the sound can be EQ'd when connected to the TV?

        I also have a Sony TV!

        • +1

          Not sure as I have not tried, the sound was good enough to leave on default. I only used the Eq in Sony app on my phone for Spotify.

  • +1

    Thanks, just bought the WF-XM5's.
    My XM2's are on their last legs

  • Bought wf1000xm5 from last deal and had to return.

    The earbud I received is like from junk yard…full of scratches, and the battery in charging case wouldnt last for 2 hours.(With or without earbud in it.)

    So good luck, guys🤞

    • You must be unlucky to get a dud. Both my refurb Wf and Wh looked 99.9% new and been using them all fine last few months.

      • Are you secretely working for Sony to clear returns and repairs. Seconds means used and fai priced used is not a bargain

        • +1

          Look at all my previous posts. I am sharing bargains and my own experiences buying new, refurb etc to help others. YMMV. If that's a crime, then I can just stop wasting time sharing :-p Feel free to contribute a bargain yourself…oh wait it's all take and no give from you eh?

          • @Buy2Much: Feel free tp do what you want but posting refurbs aka used as a deal is misleading you got lucky doesnt mean others will

            • +1

              @cheesusme: Strawman argument from someone who never posted a single bargain yet seems to be an expert on it.
              Your comment is least helpful as obviously, you have not purchased a Sony refurb yet an expert on it.
              There were helpful feedbacks (good and bad, noting that people would sooner rant than rave) from people who actually purchased for all to see and make an informed decision whether the saving is worth taking a chance.
              FYI, I don't benefit from any of my posts, other than the saving when I did buy them.
