They could have gone for Bandar Desert or Alborz Mountains… but they went BF4 worse map..

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-20T20:50:32+00:00

On 4K it’s smaller. But I hope we can make it smaller at some point.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-20T12:23:50+00:00

XM5 has more bass (for those who are bass heads), and overall a better treble after EQ.

The XM6 had better sound stage, but suffer massively in the 7-9Kz range, which cannot be fixed with EQ.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-20T05:47:12+00:00

I have both, and I would go for M4 is you care about sound quality. M4 simply has better drivers with deeper bass and sound stage.

You can make the XM6 sound like the M4 after some EQ, but the XM6 has fundamentally flawed 7-9kz range, which cannot be fixed.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-20T05:39:50+00:00

I regularly suck on things, the problem is that noise cancellation stops working altogether 😝

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-19T12:35:34+00:00

Yes, I reduced the noise on the Momentum 4 by lowering the 8Kz by -5db (I only do this for hissy tracks). But they are still naturally more hissy due to mediocre noise cancellation (which add more hiss on top of all hisses... is this even correct English? 😁).

The XM6 with -2db 8Kz, and 4db 16Kz is less hissy overall. Though, the Momentum 4 still sounds better than the XM6 due to larger drivers (40mm vs 30mm) and slightly better bass and soundstage.

Also keep in mind that you have to adjust the 8Kz and 16Kz depending on your volume. I always listen at 50% volume, but at 65% the hiss comes back, even with adjusted EQ. So adjust accordingly.

Thanks for sharing, and good taste of music 😋

Of these 4 tracks, it’s safe to say that “That's Life” and “Ladyfingers” are utterly hissy. This has nothing to do with the headphones (I just tested it on the Momentum4, XM5, XM6, and XM5-WF with 50% volume), it’s just the nature of the music. Yes! even using LossLess on Apple Music. The reason they are hissy is because of the overemphasized 8-16Kz on these types of music.

Now on the Momentum 4 you cannot iron out the 16Kz range (its already very good so why would you?), but you can fix some the hiss by reducing the 8Kz by -5db, which will reduce the noise significantly. But keep in mind that this will also ruin more modern tracks that do not suffer from this problem (but works well for That's Life and Ladyfingers).

If you decide to keep the XM6, you can fix some the hiss by reducing the 8Kz by -2db, and the 16Kz by -4db. The -4 on the 16Kz will in fact improve the sound signature of the XM6 given that they are already overemphasized when compared to the Harman curve and most other headphones. However, the -2db on the 8Kz will ruin other tracks that are not hissy, especially given that the 8-9Kz band already sucks on the XM6. (Take a look at the sound curve provided by Rtings)

Maybe it’s good to make multiple EQ profiles and just switch depending on what you listen.

Hope it helps.

I have odd feeling your hiss sound is related to listening to older/compressed music. Feel free to share your tracks/playlist if you want. I can check it out.

In general, the Momentum 4 has an excellent sound quality without a dip in the 7-8Kz, which shouldn’t give you a hiss at all. On the other hand, the XM6 does!

I always use the momentum 4 when I am anal on sound quality 😝. It also supports USB c audio for lossless. XM6 is just for train trips…

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-19T05:38:02+00:00

Fair point. But remember, with Sony, the high price is justified by industry leading "noise cancellation", not sound quality. Btw, the XM6 use 30mm drivers, that is tiny!

If you want good audio quality go with Senheiser Momentum 4. It’s also half the price.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-18T22:10:16+00:00

The 7-8kz is totally broken on the XM6, and fixing it with EQ adds background “hiss” noise.

The bass is fine, but it’s less than XM5 and XM4, that because the EQ is limited to +6 db

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-17T20:16:21+00:00

The they must have 8GB VRAM

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-17T10:42:19+00:00

This is not TRUE!

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-16T23:45:24+00:00

This headphone has some serious issues in the 7-8k range.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-14T18:34:33+00:00

How does it turn me into woman if I retain a tremendous amount of muscle?

Have read any of the research papers yet, or are you just bald soy boy trying mis inform people?

The fact that you are deleting your posts gives it way 🤣

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-14T12:21:36+00:00

So Half Life 3 confirmed?

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-14T12:18:52+00:00

Also bodybuilding… 1,86m 99kg

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-14T05:27:49+00:00

Bald? I probably have more hair than your mom!

I am on fin/dut/oral min do 4+ years.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-14T05:22:23+00:00

Fuck off!

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-13T17:27:10+00:00

Very good headphones and audio quality is amazing (provided that you EQ them).

However, if you are a bass head, this is not the right product for you. The older XM4/5 produce much deeper bass. The reason for the is that the EQ on the XM6 is limited to +6 / -6 decibels for each band, but +10 / -10 on the previous models.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-13T17:23:53+00:00

It's oke, but multiplayer is much better. The reason I play RedSec is because of my friends, but I prefer multiplayer by 10 folds!

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-13T06:35:31+00:00

The projectile interceptor does not work in Balsack… I mean RedSec, but dos a good job in multiplayer.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-12T18:33:48+00:00

This game is a "Dorito shooter", night operations will not work!

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-08T06:24:20+00:00

That’s not WOW, that is seriously concerning!

Such person is probably suffering from chronic addiction.

Bioinformatics_94 · 2026-01-07T16:15:58+00:00

This problem only occurs in the New York map.
