These two headphones are top-of-the-line Bluetooth headsets, and they are first-class in terms of appearance and quality control. But the question is, how do you choose between these two headphones? I've summarized the unique advantages of each of the two headphones, so you can automatically match your needs.
Compared with the Apple AirPods Pro2 and the Sony WF 1000XM5, the most direct feeling is comfort. Everyone knows that Sony headphones don't have too many shortcomings, the only thing that has been criticized a lot is comfort, especially WF 1000XM4 The wearing experience is a bit stretched. The WF 1000XM5 has been further upgraded on the basis of the WF 1000XM4, both in terms of headphone volume and headphone weight, which is much smaller. The WF 1000XM5 is now even more compact and offers a lot more comfort. However, it is still a little worse than AirPods Pro2.
AirPods Pro2The second advantage is the Apple ecosystem, Apple and Apple products can be seamlessly connected, and the magic is in it, the kind that cannot be spoken, for example, the latency between Apple products is very low, almost negligible. The third advantage of AirPods Pro2 is that it is very good at noise reduction of human voices, which can also be intuitively reflected in the noise reduction curve of the evaluation.
The biggest advantage of the Sony WF 1000XM5 over the AirPods Pro2 is the sound quality, and it is an overwhelming advantage. The common shortcoming of Bluetooth headsets is the lack of low frequency, and the Sony WF 1000XM5 low frequency volume, clarity, dive, or the so-called elasticity, are much better than Apple's AirPods Pro2. Although the performance of Sony WF 1000XM5 in the middle and high frequency band is not so superior, but from the curve, it is still slightly better than Apple headphones, overall, Sony WF 1000XM5 sound quality is stronger than Apple AirPods Pro2, even in the Apple ecosystem, Sony WF 1000XM5 can beat Apple ears, which is mainly due to Sony WF 1000XM5 algorithm, so the sound quality is more HIFI.
Compared with Apple's AirPods Pro2, the noise reduction of the Sony WF 1000XM5 does a better job of low-frequency and high-frequency noise reduction, especially the suppression of high-frequency environmental noise. The Sony WF 1000XM5's high-frequency noise reduction is good, and in addition to the algorithm, it also has a lot to do with the shape of the headphones and the ear caps.
The question comes back to the end, how to choose between the two headphones? Personally, if your front-end is an Apple product, then I would prefer to recommend you to choose AirPods Pro2, the combination between AirPods Pro2 and Apple products is incomparable to any other partner. If you pay more attention to high sound quality and high noise reduction, Sony WF 1000XM5 is more recommended, to be honest, Sony WF 1000XM5 does have few opponents.
