Finally, a solid review of the SOUND. Too damn many reviews of all the bells and whistles in which that is great but what about the sound. Are they too tinny or bassy or muddy. That's what's important to me. I listen to hard rock. I had the XM4s, they sounded good enough. But, like all the other XM4 owners the batteries took a dump. Now I'm gun shy of Sony. By the reviewer opinion, the Bose sound a bit better in this regard. BTW my XM4s were out of warranty, but Sony is not fixing the XM4s anymore and with the receipt and some wrangling, they required the XM4s be sent to them, they determined if they are dead. Sony sent me a check for the whole amount. They should have recalled all these XM4s.

I've had the Bose qc ultra, and this may not matter to most people, but I've had to warranty them I kid not and swear 7 times.. I have been super disappointed, I've even had them warrantied, and sent back to me with 1 bud not working, in the same day. Crazy poor quality, but they do sound great when they work.. lol. And they do warranty with really no questions asked, just takes like 2 weeks before you get to use your buds again.

nice sunglasses, what brand are they?

Great review cause I also prefer the sound quality

Same as me Ron for me the most important for me is sound quality 'coz all earbuds majority with Anc and Transparency have only slight differences except the sound quality each earbud have different in tuning.

really enjoyed this review top tier

thanks bro for efficient Comparison & for me All Day the Ultras❤ got Both Today & Sony going tmrw back👊 By the way Sony gives the ability to return them in a Frame Time of 14 Days only!! Where the BOSE gives 90 Days... That says it all😌

Thanks for the audio review. I'm looking for some high-end buds to replace my lost galaxy 2 buds. I must be the only one who doesn't ANC. Never used it on my buds 2 pro. Why would anyone use this feature on a busy street?! I need to be aware of my surroundings. I guess thats just me, though. Maybe if i was on an airplane every day, but for me, im just needing great sound.

The Ultras all day. They sound good and you can wear them all day. The fives will tire your ears out eventually.

I like to ask your opinion on witch earbuds have longest longevity onder 150 dollars and a comon brand so i can buy it i am from europe thats why i asked conom brand

My friend, say money is not too much of a problem, and i currently have the bose ultra, but am tired of sending them off for repair, and i really want a good pair of buds. What would be your suggestion? My number one priority is a transparent or ambient mode. Im in construction and being able to hear someone say "look out" before dropping something off a roof is important. And just sound quality, they need to sound awesome.. Like 500 or so would be my limit for buds!! Thanks for any suggestions

He played e-40 for bass , I was off to the store best buy ultra

Hello Ron wats your opinion on Glaxy buds 2pro Jabra elite 4 active Sony Link buds s SonyWf-C700N WHICH EARBUD TO BUY PLEASE REPLAY RON PLEASE

Which do you like better for hearing voices you're talking to in person, while blocking noise?

Is the immersive audio in bose qc ultra worth to invest more on it than qc 2 ?? And how about the call quality difference in qc2 and ultra

Can i expect the Bose ear buds to cancel the noice in the office, people talking, Fans, tapping? I just tried sony xm5 headphones and on the street walking test i can still hear cars driving past, and passers walking by talking. In the coffee shop i can still hear everyone talking. The xm5 headphone did not work as well as i expected. They are sony refurb so wondering maybe they are faulty. I expected more.

So let me understand you reviewers talking about same devices yet driving consumers away of the true best sounding earbuds: Between 3 ANC. Sure on gizmos ANC, transparency, spatial or immersive sound, blah, blah which Between 3 have some and do not excel what else matters? Sound to me! Sure gimmicks are nice but sound wise Between 3 ANC beats my XM5, Bose Ultra, app2 usb and of course liberty 4 nc!

Bose vrs SONY 😢 winner

Xm5 sounds way better and natural than Bose ultra earbuds.
