Best deal I've seen on these!
It was $5 cheaper on Adorama just a day or two ago.

There was a better deal literally yesterday, these aren't going anywhere but πŸ“‰, these are overpriced even at $250, at least with Sony Xm4s and Bose QC35s you can reserve some dignity wearing them in public. Good luck getting someone's number wearing these πŸ˜‚

For reference, I prefer desktop audophilistic phones, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling, I like seeing these threads unfold

You just cannot beat the Sony XM4s for the quality, light weight, ANC and sound. And not to mention half the price of AirPods max.

Value - Agreed
Quality - No.
ANC - No.
Sound -No, unless you EQ them so they're not such a muddy mess.

The XM4's are fine, and for anyone who doesn't own Apple products, they're a magnificent choice, especially when you can find them under $250. Value tor the dollar, at a discount, they're hard to beat.

But the APMs have tighter, better controlled sound (better overall sound with Apple products, even lacking EQ), noticeably better ANC (including passthrough/transparency), and WAY better build quality. They also have a second-to-none interaction design and experience. (The XM4's crappy micβ€”even after the patchβ€”awkward "hand over ear" transparency mode, just-as-awkward adaptive mode, and inability to easily change the ear cushions are obvious strikes against it.)

At $455, these APMs are a good deal for any Apple user who wants these now and is just as interested in features as sound. I think they'll drop some more over time, but I don't see them going new for under $400 (new) for some time.

FWIW, this is about the price I got the APMs, Open Box, at Best Buy about 4-5 months ago. If you're OK with open box. be sure to check in your store to see these drop further.

Edit: I see an open box option for $413. If you have one at your store, you might even get them to drop the price a bit, if you're so inclined.
