SAVEBIG

Full Price is $549 before discounts.

Ok, not hard but some steps involved.

Available in white or black, none in the store near me so i had to get delivery for $8.

Buy a $450 Good Guys GC from the Shopback store app on your phone and get 3% cashback - $13.50

Use code SAVEBIG (all in caps) on the good guys website to get $82.35 off the price

Current Shopback cashback is 6% - $27.99

Taking all discounts into account you end up at $425.15 in store pickup or $433 delivered.

The one snag in the whole exercise is that shopback says you can only use codes listed on their website and SAVEBIG is not listed, however, they are advertising the current 10 - 20% off promotion at The Good Guys and this discount is only available by entering the SAVEBIG code, no reductions in price are available on any items unless you enter the code. So either Shopback is being disingenuous or they haven't updated the site to include the code yet.

Haven't received a confirmation of the 6% Shopback cashback yet but will advise when i have (sometime takes a few hours).

    Not sure if purchases where you use a gift card will result in the 6% SB cashback.

    If not its still the best price i can see to date but less attractive.

      450 for anc headphones are too expensive for me.

    • Sprintz25 on 14/07/2022 - 10:12

      Email from ShopBack this morning confirming 6% cash back tracked at $30.

    I wrote this on the other XM5 post.

    The XM5 earcups are noticeably shallower than the XM3/XM4, which means less room for ears and higher perceived ANC cabin pressure.
    If you are sensitive to these things XM3/XM4 might be better.

    Build quality seems to be better on XM5. Also microphone quality is greatly improved on XM5 according to a video review, it sounds very clear and not the garbled mess the XM3/XM4 microphone sounded like.

    • Axelstrife on 13/07/2022 - 18:52

      The XM5 earcups are noticeably shallower than the XM3/XM4

      luckily i didn't go for the XM5's when i returned the XM4's due to the shallow earcups, basically on ear if there shallower.

      Yeah biggest difference I've noticed in the xm5 to xm4 back to back was xm5 have a far more natural and clear sounding transparency mode which would likely be down to the better microphones.

      Xm4 ANC can be better in some low level situations as the adaptive ANC on the 5s can take a while to ramp up when required.

      • harshbdmmaster718 on 13/07/2022 - 19:21

        "the adaptive ANC on the 5s can take a while to ramp up when required."

        I have not looked deep enough into the XM5's to know that was a feature. Can't you turn the "adaptive" function off in the App? And just set it to be on Max ANC all the time?

        • JF on 13/07/2022 - 19:23

          Not that I can see. I've had a bit of a dig around in the app and unlike the 4s it seems you can only turn it on or off and the adaptive nature selects the level of ANC automatically. It's something that could definitely be pushed in a driver update and will likely be on the to do list as it's not an uncommon complaint on forums.

          • harshbdmmaster718 on 13/07/2022 - 19:25

            @JF: Yeah that makes sense. They should definitely add the ability to switch adaptive off in the App. Maybe in the next update. They update phone App's pretty regularly in my experience.

      • JPNx on 14/07/2022 - 08:28

        Decided to purely not get XM5 due to the earcups.
        I fly alot so wear them whilst sleeping, Generally even large ear cups arent the best when your ear is pressing on a pillow and then the earcups like in your ear.
        Figured XM5 would be way to extreme.

    • BrianGriffin on 13/07/2022 - 19:25

      Many reviews failed to mention the shallower earcups, but this is very important.

      I bought XM5 with the amex $75 offer, but then found the shallower earcups makes very difficult for me to use this for longer session, I ended up selling it and bought Bose QC45, yes sony packs more tech in XM series, but Bose's deeper earcups makes big differerce for me in terms of comfort.

        Yeah it's definitely an important thing to mention when it comes to headphones.

      • kekw on 13/07/2022 - 19:47

        Yep and when they say they can use it hours on end makes me wonder if they even have ears.

      • kennyshin on 13/07/2022 - 20:37

        I have the Bose QC25 but after I think 4-5 years I feel if I use it more then one hour now around my ears start to hurt. How you find the QC45 for heavy usage e.g. 4-8 hours at a time? Do they have one of the deepest ear cups?

        • BrianGriffin on 13/07/2022 - 20:50

          I have QC25, 35 and now 45, FYI QC25 and QC35's earcups pads are interchangable, I compared 35 and 45 side by side, I don't see noticable difference in terms of earcups depth, feel the same too, I don't have issue to wear it the whole morning or afternoon, but usually take a break anyway.

          • kennyshin on 13/07/2022 - 21:01

            @BrianGriffin: Thanks for the info! I may buy original QC25 earcup pads cause I bought the copies and i dont think the cushion is enough

    The XM5 doesn't fold into itself the same way as the XM5. Makes it more cumbersome.

        if you can't find it on the TGGC store but can on the regular TGG, you can email them with the product SKU and they'll give you a quote.

        • JamieHUANG on 13/07/2022 - 19:58

          Sounds good, How long it will take? Should I just call them up?

          • Tohnio on 13/07/2022 - 20:08

            @JamieHUANG: depends on your luck, usually 1 business day?
            just contact dedicated agent, yes you can call them if you are in a rush of getting it.

    The price history of the XM3 and XM4 suggests that RRP of this will start off sky high but then fall a fair bit well within a year. Fingers crossed for that.

    • RobBoss on 14/07/2022 - 12:24

      Yep, I remember when the XM went down to around $450, everyone was buying it. Then it was pushing $300.

    Wonder how these will compare to the new Sony Inzone H9 for Ps5 & Mobile…both similar pricing. I just ordered a pair of H9 which will be released in 2 weeks or so.

    • JamieHUANG on 13/07/2022 - 20:04
      +1

      I believe that h9 is a 2.4g version of xm4 because of the 40mm sound unit and mics. Should be the same but weaker noise cancelling because of the fewer mics?

    • Tezilla on 13/07/2022 - 20:10
      +1

      It would a gaming version of xm4, in terms of gaming I’d go with that

      Xm5 will be a better NC headphone for sure

    • MrFizz on 13/07/2022 - 22:20

      This is just the regular number for their sales team, nothing to do with commercial.

      • Sprintz25 on 14/07/2022 - 10:17

        So what do you do, it’s not a price match so do you just ask for their best price? If that’s what everyone is doing and common knowledge then why didn’t someone post it as a deal in the past?

        • MrFizz on 14/07/2022 - 11:47

          Price matches and negotiated deals do not count as deals you can post on OzB

    • ihfree on 13/07/2022 - 21:06

      Maybe. With this model, it is not replacing the XM4. Both will remain on sale.

      This would be roughly equivalent to the Bose NC700 with the QC45 being the more standard model. NC700 prices may serve as a rough price guide for this in the future.

    For those who find the earcups too shallow, would it help to switch to a 3rd party ear cushion that's thicker/deeper and bigger?

    Will probably mess with the sound signature, ANC and sensors though (the one that detects headphones being taken off)

    • Sprintz25 on 04/08/2022 - 13:21

      Mine just arrived this week. I think they were OOS and had to wait for stock to arrive. Most likely first in best dressed as far as sending orders out so maybe just give it a week or 2.
