Hear how the best ANC headphones handle real world and lab tests

Regardless of the tech, what noise do you wish you could block out?

I appreciate you time doing this video after all said and done which ones would you buy. Sony X5 or Momentum 4?

Where is jbl here?🤔

More like a Bose review than a comparison of different headphone ANC do

MMM I don't know, it seems to me that a good in ear what ever wired normal earphones can do the job, I just get one of these and I don't feel to much difference.

"That aint no microphone". It's a Binaural mic and his nick name is Fritz. (look it up)

I am kind of disappointed with the XM5, when somebody next to me talk I can clearly hear them. My friend has the XM4 and it is way better in term of ANC.

Not buing sony for sure- regretting already

no, i need a set that blocks out the world...have you worked in my office???

ofc they are not gonna talk about south product, its all about SF

This is good for people who have ear sensitivity

Sorry I dont want to hear anything. I want the void. I dont want any kind of indication that people exist. I hope for a future where you can visually cancel

Weird using one of the headphones to watch the video lol

samples are TOO SHORT.

Bose QC Ultra would win!

Is there bose700 successor?

Well done. I just wish the Maxs were lighter.

Great video. What about the Dyson Zone?

This was a GREAT vid! I'd love to see this done with a few earbuds if you guys have the time!

Not surprised at the ridiculously named sony 😂

Do it with earbuds

Great informative video - way more useful and interesting than the basic product videos with little factual insight.

I bought the Sony WF1000XM5’s for $150 and they’re mind blowing in terms of noise cancelling. Noise pass through still goes to my AirPods Pro Gen 1 which shows how phenomenal they are and how spoiled I am in terms of cool gadgets but I’m always thankful

I want my bubble, so xm5 is a go to. I want to close talking. I have loud talking people around that I don't wanna listen to. Metro doesn't affect me at all.

This is so informative

Lumberjack ear defenders combined with bluetooth earbuds is the best isolation you can get

Thank you so much 😊

so its basically just phase cancelling the sound that comes in, pretty neat

Are my XM5s defective or something? Just for kicks, I put them on while watching this video with ANC turned up, and I can hear every word being said. I can also hear my apartment's heating system, the clicking of my keyboard, and more. I bought these a week ago after watching this video for the first time, and I gotta say, they're only marginally better than my Samsung earbuds at canceling out noise.

So Apple wants us to keep hearing Taylor Swift's lyrics in coffee shops?

AirPods Max 🔥

What pair of headphones is best for people who is sensitive to sound.
I actually want to hear absolutely nothing when wearing them.
For maximum immersion.

I just got Sony WH-1000XM5, and it's by far the worst ever noice cancellign headphone i've used my entire life. I don't know if i've gotten a defected one, or is the product really sobad. it does NOT cancel any noice whatsover. The nocie cancelling is probably at 20% max. I had the worst customer experience ever. Some please if you got this headphone, tell me if you are experiencing the same issue. The noice cancelling is simply not working, i turned the NC on, and i can hear a pin drop on the floor still. With music on, i can hear people talking around me super clearly, my keyboard stroke, my tapping on the desk. I simply couldn't believe it, i got the airpods max few months ago, because it was too heavy i had to get ride of it. But this, Sony WH-1000XM5's NC performance in comparision to the airpods max is just horrible. I have an old beats by dre solo without any NC function, after turning the music on, i can barely tell any difference between the two on noice cancelling. It's a shocker. Please someone tell me if you are experiencing the same issue, and if i am not the only one. Please stop marketing this Sony WH-1000XM5 as the best ANC headphone, it's still a great headphone, function wise, design wise, sound wise, and super light and comfy. But Noice cancelling, NO. Big no, buy Bose, buy apple, Dont buy Sony WH-1000XM5 for noice cancelling.

That janitor going that ain't no mike blew me off

Great video! To be able to selectively filter the sounds, you first need superb ANC, then you use microphones to record the sounds and play the selected sounds to your headphones.

You could let the correct sounds through in theory but in practice you need to do some processing which requires some delay and that's why you have to start by removing all sound with ANC.

Thank you so much! This is the video I wanted and needed. Perfect and enjoyable.

Thb i find it a bit silly you brought pretty old models for bose to compare with the absolute newest one sony has to offer. Especially since they are quite a lot cheaper as well. I would have liked to see newer contenders from bose as im thinking of switching to them from the wh1000xm4. The xm4 are great headphones but the padding is too sweaty for me. So im willing to sacrifice some anc for more breathable padding

good video

This is by far the most helpful comparison I have come across. Understanding how ANC works really is a helpful tool. Thank you for all your insight!!

Sony actually already has a smart ANC mode to make you hear important sounds. You can enable it via their app since xm3 version already. Little bit of a journalistic miss.

I was looking for some empirical objective data about how these headphones would fair in head to head ANC, great video

Sony is superior, debate is over.

Love the mix of funnny and professional testing.

Hahahaha eso si que es una buena review

Why do I want to let human speech pass? I do intentionally want to cancel out human speech so APM is a no for me.

It would have been nice to have a more diverse lineup of headphones rather than half of them just being Bose.

How did I miss out this video. Great video. Just the video I'm looking for

Thanks so much for this!

i can feel the preasure through this video inside my ear drums.

I just hope that I can dissavle this AI feature. Because when I activate ANC, I want to silence out simply just everything. I literally just want my headphones to flip the signal and cancle it out as best as possible.
