  • CNET Editor's Ratings
    • The good: The excellent-sounding Sony WH-1000XM3 is more comfortable and 20% lighter than its predecessor. It offers slightly improved noise canceling and performs better as a headset for making calls. Battery life is strong, and it has some nifty extra features geared toward frequent travelers.
    • The bad: Your ears can get a little warm inside the ear cups. I encountered some adaptive noise-canceling hiccups.
    • The bottom line: With its comfortable fit and superb performance, the Sony WH-1000XM3 is the noise-canceling headphone to beat.
  • Please refer to the forum thread for additional details - Discombobulated

$50 more where? Everywhere I look, it's $278 right now, which is $78 more.

Second, that's not necessarily the best choice. The XM4 adds a few features, but isn't a huge upgrade over the XM3. Plus, the XM4 drops aptX codec support, which is kind of a big deal for Android users. The only big argument for the XM4 is if you really need/want the multi-point connection ability.

Here's one fairly even-handed article discussing the differences:

Confirmed on Sony's website that they are in fact an authorized dealer:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/retailers

This is the first time I've seen these headphones on substantial sale from an authorized dealer since I created a deal alert over a year ago. Definitely jumping on this one

On xm4 ldac supports the EQ as well. Also ldac only works when multipoint is off.

edit: apparently went on sale in December, but this is the same price as that frontpage sale:

I have the XM3. After reading the upgrade with the XM4, it's not worth the upgrade.

I saw that deal too, those are refurbs and the warranty on those is through the seller though, I thought.

Either way, glad you're happy with what you got

Yes very happy with the xm4, but also glad to have xm3, which supports apt-x codec, which Windows 10 can use out of the box. Xm4 uses a lower codec in Windows 10, doesn't it?

I've had the XM3 for a little over a year now and they're still doing great. The noise canceling is fantastic and so is audio quality. These are arguably better than a comparable set of Bose headphones even when comparing noise canceling performance.

Current owners, can you say how comfortable these are for hours long sessions? I've read they make your ears warm and don't sit all the way over your ears.
