XM4 are regarded as the better headphones.
Foldable, comes with a carry case, and the design is generally much more portable.XM5 also come with carry case
5 Not travel friendly
The XM5 has much better microphone noise handling https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/sony-wh-1000β¦
Summary
The Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless are the next generation of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless. There have been a couple of changes in design and performance. As a result, the XM5 have a better microphone performance, and the ANC system attenuates noise slightly differently. You can still expect significant ambient sound isolation from either pair of headphones, though. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The XM5's build isn't as flexible as the previous generation, and the ANC has a harder time blocking out the low rumble of bus engines. Unfortunately, their automatic adaptive ANC system can't be turned off, and some users originally reported issues with the ANC adjusting each time they moved their heads, though this issue may have been corrected in firmware 1.1.3.
Sweet price very tempted for this boxing day purchase and to use on a Europe trip next year. People with big ears, any discomfort wearing them for long periods of time?
Cant comment on the size of my ears.. but comfortable for me..
Might need to have a quick try on in store to see if your ears fit in the cupsI used them for several hours at work and never an issue. Itβs the best headset Iβve ever had.
I find the narrow headband on my xm5 can hurt after a few hours, I think the xm4 is wider so would help with that
First, let me get this out of the way. π π π π π
I don't know if my ears are big, but it's the only one that I wear on flights and it's a beauty. Made a mistake of wearing in-ears from Auckland to Chch and got out of the plane with the worst ear ache ever (never had sore ears in my life, ever. This lasted for hours).
Safe to say the XM4 is the best.
Oh so tempting. If I had any money left π
Can also get the MX5 from Sony for $336 if you apply the $50 signup bonus and $50 Amex offer.
