About this Item:
Noise cancelling wireless headphones – The perfect balance of quiet, comfort, and sound. Bose uses tiny mics to measure, compare, and react to outside noise, cancelling it with opposite signals.
High-fidelity audio – The TriPort acoustic architecture offers depth and fullness. Volume-optimized Active EQ maintains balanced performance at any volume, so bass stays consistent when turned down and the music remains clear when turned up.
Quiet and Aware Modes – Choose Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling, or Aware Mode to bring the outside into the around ear headphones and hear your environment and your music at the same time.
Personalize your audio. Adjustable EQ allows you to set the bass, mid-range, and treble levels to your personal preferences or select one of several preset options.
Up to 24 hours battery life – Enjoy 24 hours of battery life from a single charge. A quick 15-minute charge offers 3 hours when you're on the go, or plug in the included audio cable to listen for even longer in wired mode.

I'm having a hard time finding good headphones. Have qc 35 ii and xm4,xm5, AirPods Max just don't work. Are these a worthy upgrade? On sale is concerning

You might be looking at the wrong type of headphones then. The QC45 isn't going to be that different compared to the QC35ii and the XM4 since they're the predecessor (aside from the modifiable ANC levels) and competitor, respectively. Was there an overarching factor that turned you off the other headphones?
I'm a bit archaic but after testing the QC35 and 700 with the XM3, I can provide some input, because I believe both Bose and Sony haven't made insane revolutionary changes since these models.
XM3 - sound more crisp and sounds more like a live performance. IE Orchestral pieces have a great soundstage and sounds live. Bass slightly more punchy but still smooth. Comfort is less because the dust filters are not angled to the angle of your ears. Requires EQ from the app to sound its best. Out of the box, quality is less than Bose. EQ saves to headphones.
QC35 - sound is more smooth, deep but sounds more like in a recording studio. Makes orchestral sound like the treble is slightly muddy. Sibilants sounded slightly piercing. Better comfort because of angled dust filters and better mic quality. Doesn't require EQ to sound its best (mostly applies to 700 and QC45 since QC35 cannot do EQ)
ANC on both is great, but if you really value music quality, turn it off.

i believe its same price everywhere as BOSE themselves have drop the price to $249, so BOSE is telling all resellers to drop to that price for the sale.
Y'all think this is worth it over the Sennheiser Momentum 4's at this price point?
Yes.
The Momentum 4 are comfortable and gave fantastic sound, but I've been having issues with their software (specifically iOS), they run a bit hot, and I've had one pair die on me with 2 days of use.
Unless there's something specific you want (for example, the 60hr battery life, or you just want something newer), I recommend the QC45 for the money.
A note in the Momentum 4 vs 3: I don't think these can get any more different while still being called headphones. DRASTIC change between the M3 and M4.

I guess you could buy now and just return/rebuy if they won't do a price adjustment.
