Got rid of my xm4 yesterday, good timing as xm5 due in a couple hours. Went with black again but think maybe I should have gone with lighter colour now!
There are silicone covers already available for the new XM5 charging case! But I'll hold out for the more protective Spigen case (which is in development).
First listen session, it’s definitely different from the xm4. It’s got a wider soundstage, bass doesn’t seem to have the same impact as xm4. Needs a bit more tinkering out the box vs the xm4. Will give them time but first impression is I prefer the xm4 sound out the box. Listening to electronic, it doesn’t seem to have that same feeling/impact/warmth.
What I love: the fit! So so much better. And you feel the weight difference for sure. Loving the whole overall smaller footprint.
Hm. Not the tuning that I expected from the bigger driver. I like them but not 100% loving them right now.
Not available in Denmark until mid September, but I doubt I’ll be buying them until my XM4 stops working as they are already plenty good enough for my commuting and travel needs and I have no fit problems
Not the fingerprint magnet I thought they would be having bought the black pair which is a surprise.
Having put another hour on them this morning, I am liking them still. They do everything right, they just don't seem to have that sub bass rumble from the xm4, the bass is still there and hits hard but lacks that xm4 bass out the box. They went for more of a conservative effort this time, I think most will like the sound signature. It's more of a different offering from the xm4 sound wise than a progression of it. Different not better or better but different lol
Available in Belgium as from Aug, 1 and I have them on pre order as well. Shall pick them up at retailer next week. I used to have the XM4 but the warmth & low end was a bit too imposing for me. Probably these will be more to my liking.
