Tried the Sony XM5 in store today. Sounds materially worse than the XM4 right next to it. Has anyone else experienced it? (alien.top)

I mean granted I am more used to the XM4's sound signature but the difference was just so large and I can put on the Bose right to it without experiencing the same drop in quality.

I'm asking to see if maybe the store room model I used was just poor or if the entire product itself is poor.

After EQ, mine are superior to XM4's in every way.

The only downside, you have to up the volume on them. They're not good at low volume.
