Does anyone else think it may be worth waiting for the new model and skip these?
- The touch controls are not intuitive. You do get used to them eventually but they are more of a gimmic
- No Multipoint Bluetooth. This means you cannot connect to two devices at the same time. This is super annoying if you have a cell phone, a tablet, and a laptop. You'll be switching between each by doing a full pairing.
I also own several Bose QC's up through the 35 II. Sonys sound better but ease of use of Bose is much better. I have also extensively used the Microsoft Surface phones. They don't sound very good but have touch controls and multipoint. Sooner or later someone will get them all the features at the same time. Think about the Sony's being several years old now. the XM4's might be amazing!- The touch controls are not intuitive. You do get used to them eventually but they are more of a gimmic
