In the video, I compare the XM5 headphones with their predecessor, the XM4. A detailed test will follow shortly.

We can’t talk about the new WH-1000XM5 without talking about the previous model. After all, the XM4 will still be available for quite some time. Currently, they’re significantly cheaper than the XM5 and have the advantage that you can fold them. Of course, the new headphones also come with many perks. Find out about my first impressions in the video. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».

My interest in IT and writing landed me in tech journalism early on (2000). I want to know how we can use technology without being used. Outside of the office, I’m a keen musician who makes up for lacking talent with excessive enthusiasm.
