Not the cheapest they've been, but still $50 off the selling price for the past month.
CamelCamelCamel.
yeah pretty ridiculous hey. the QC35 i and ii and the xm3's can be had for sub 300 at times.
$150 for bluetooth v5 and better call quality.
ANC is not better than Sony's and sound quality is personal, but Sony has more base
Hard decision indeed
Edit: if not craving for one right now,
Wait for the xm4, release is expected this year
Do we have a release date for the xm4s yet or any indication when they might come out? ive read somewhere that it was Feb?
Only speculation
Forums discussions points to a mid-late release
Yeah i havent heard many good things of this versus QC35ii so not really tempted.
Value for money, this is not.
I am in Canada right now. Took a 15 hour flight with these. They are legit. The ANC wipes out about 90% of cabin noise (though unfortunately it couldn't silence a constantly crying baby). It's an improvement over qc35 ii.
Even the sound is not all that bad. The sound stage is surprisingly good for this kind of headphone.
It felt comfortable enough, though I always took breaks.
Does it justify its price tag? That's a different question. I'm getting TRS on these and price protection and about $20 cashback. The equation is a bit different for me.
There is a bug with conversation mode which still hasn't been fixed. With some apps, conversation mode disables itself after 2 seconds.
Can't say I'm willing to pay 150$ more for these than the QC35II. Often the QC35II and 1000XM3 can be had for 350$, some times even less. And I'm really interested in these.
