Certainly not the cheapest it’s been but not bad if you’re after a pair now.
$330 price beat from Also $348 at Officeworks Price dropped

XM4 is staying to be along side the XM5. Similar to the Bose 700 and QC45.
Yep should see lower prices on these. Reviews on the 5 are good. I'll be getting those.
Slave to the upgrades
Maybe other retailers will drop their prices lower than this as the XM5’s are now available for pre-order at $549.95
XM4s are apparently sticking around at a lower price point so I wouldn't expect a crazy clearance
Yes, Sony is keeping XM4 as they are different form.
There were plenty of chance to grab XM4 around $300 mark before.
Just before I realised I needed them :(
Seeing this price, the $395 mark for QC45 looks like a better deal.
Will definitely keep an eye on this, been wanting to grab a pair. Hopefully some other retailers drop lower
It’s a lot of money for plastic and pleather
Yeah, because there's no R&D, electronics, manufacturing, transport, distribution and marketing costs, right?
Yea true, it’s clear their entire budget went into super expensive noise cancelling, and not much else 😉
You could say the same thing about a lot of things.
100%, but compared to other headphones that use quality materials, this is expensive. Mostly just paying for the NC. The mics are terrible, pleather doesn't get a good seal and detracts from the sound.
For example, much better headphones made with quality materials for less $$ Or just a little more
FYI , you can now pre-order Sony WH-1000XM5 from their online official store for $549.95
I think you will find better prices in the coming days. With the XM5's just announced prices will drop quickly!
Look at what happened last year with the XM3's when the XM4's came out.
The XM4 will be sold alongside the XM5 so unlikely.
horrible, unusable microphone, just FYI. Luckily my webcam had a good mic on it, but I can't use these for phone calls (others are distracted by the underwater effect)
is that even in a quiet room or only when it tries to filter out noise?
Even in a quiet room, in my experience. It's hearable in a quiet room, but still has that distant, underwater effect. webcam mic is miles ahead.
That's really interesting as a lot of reviews say the same, but I use them for ms teams meetings every day and never get any complaints.
My airpods pro on the other hand, great reviews for the mic but every single time people complain.
I wonder if its something specific to the meeting software, i.e. zoom vs teams
@tomlikesbeetroot: Applies even more so to phone calls in Android. So it's universal, to me. Bluetooth headphones are universally a pain in the arse.
Good NC headphones and pretty good price.
Had mine for about a year I guess, $300 from an afterpay eBay deal.
Hn has the price back at 398 but ow still has it at 348.
The XM5s were just announced a few minutes ago, the timing :D
