I normally lurk on your videos and just enjoy your quality with a simple like. But man, that anc test was so thoughtful and well sourced. To acquire an ear and determine how to give all the sauce was great. I'm sticking with my 4s only because Sony replaced my battery for free after the battery drain issue.

Nice to hear about call quality, biggest gripe with previous generations

Another great video review and tour of NY. I appreciate how much information you pack into your reviews and yet deliver everything in an easy going format. I know it isn't as easy as you make it seem but it always looks like you just grabbed a camera and went for a walk. Keep up the great work!

I'm I the only one who also said " coffee check" every time watching his review?

You dint have to tap 4 tomes to e
Adjust each volume level. After you tap 4 times, u can just keep taping, and it will go up a small notch each tap. It's actually nice because u can go up in smaller notches, so it's more precise.

Fabulous video, as always. These are fast becoming my favourite tech review videos on You Tube, as I love the format. All the best for the 2024.

That earbud test in the ear-mic was really cool haha

[ItsCamplicated]

Always wondered how I sounded on calls with the pixel buds pros, pretty impressed honestly!

[SJF]

Just got back from spending Christmas in New York City, was hoping to spot you filming a Real World Test. 😂

The return of THE EAR! Equal favourite guest star alongside @TheMrMobile Always enjoy your videos!

[iordan]

When did you film this? I refuse to belive that NY in December looks like this.

My biggest complaint with the xm4's was that the earbud tips broke down so easily and have to be replaced fairly frequently, which is particularly annoying because of how expensive they already were. It doesn't look like they changed the material, and that's a bit disappointing. Its almost as though I need a subscription to use them the way they were intended

[austinslater]

What are your favorite buds? Great video!

[michaelcarson]

I enjoy these videos from you the most! The only thing I'd like to see are follow up videos like a year out of devices YOU keep.

I like the size of the WF XM4s, as I can put them in my ears and take them out with ease unlike my linkbus that get the tips stuck.

Some of the biggest problems I've run into with the WF xm4s and linkbuds are single ear bud battery drain issues and in the case of the linkbuds "static" in one ear bud with ANC is enabled. Doing hardware resets don't allow the issues to go away permanently and firmware updates at times have made it worse. The irony is my headphones the xm3 and xm5s don't experience ANY of these types of issues. I would like a revised version of the wf-xm4s personally as small only creates issues for me.

Great video. You informed me about earbuds and made me want to visit a 🇨🇴 coffee shop and 🇮🇪 restaurant in a city I’ve never visited all in the same video. For that, you earned a subscriber.

Hey could you please check vivo x200 pro, as it seems to be alot more promising than I thought! Please?

[jub]

that mic in earphone test was picking up too much background noise with the earbuds plugged in.. maybe it needed a better seal where the mic is attached?

[kgvertu]

Another fantastic video David, really like the looks of the new one as a buds pro owner I couldn't get on with the size of the XMs before they looked massive in comparison to my buds pro.

The price though! Wow! You can get into Nothing 2s or buds pro 2 for so little these days. I think you have to be a commited music guy that wears two buds all the time. Seem a hefty price tag.

[cauldron]

I was going to buy the XM5 earbuds because of the little case but tapping 4 to adjust the volume is just a no go for me. I ended up getting the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds despite the case being a little bigger. Thanks for a great comparison!

[sheanreal]

Which one sounds better, this Sony? Or Samsung galaxy buds 2 pro?
