I think the issue is that the defense of these seems to be that it has its pros and cons compared to the XM4, but that ignores the fact that one costs double what the other does.

If the Airpods max were $300 MSRP they'd be an interesting competitive headphone option. But priced the way they are limits any interest in them to a very specific set of customers that enjoy the apple ecosystem for convenience or fashion reasons, and aren't concerned with price. It's a different market than someone looking for good value for quality headphones.

So this sale is a good price for Airpods max, but it's not a good price for a pair of headphones, if that makes sense.

I have both. I LOVE my XM4s but they are very different products.
The feature set on the Maxes on they own, sets them apart. The clarity in the mids, surround sound (spatial audio) are much better. The transparency mode… it's almost nonexistent in the XM4s vs the Maxes.
Every once and awhile I like to go on walks with headphones. I would prefer to wear the XM4s on walks, they are lighter. But I can not hear my surroundings.

They absolutely 1000% do not, and I like JBL. They make budget-tier headphones that sound better than Beats, but that's about it.

Agreed. If they hit $350 on Black Friday, I'm in. Don't even need them!

IMO, get the Sony XM4s, half the price and basically just as good.
Not even close! These have a better build quality, better sound stage, bigger ear cups so they're more comfortable, better pass through mode, better mic, and very close to as good at ANC.

You can pay $200 to $300 for the Sony headset and they will be decent, but you would be better informed about these if you actually had a pair.

Just wondering, doesn't the XM4's have ambient sound mode you can turn on while you are walking with the XM4's on? Would that help to allow you to hear your surroundings during your walks? I usually have this turned on when gaming so I can still hear what's going on around me.

The positional audio in these is so good and the sound stage fairly large, that I often find myself lifting it off one ear to make sure the sound isn't coming from you he speakers of the device they're paired with.

You are right about one thing, the people that get the most out of these are people in the Apple ecosystem. But then again, the eco system is why we bought these in the first place.

Honestly I love these damn things!

JBL makes wireless bluetooth headphones that absolutely destroy these in sound quality and cost less than 50 bucks.
