Well I think a MacBook Air is expensive compared to let's say an orange, which provides Vitamin C, is delicious, and sustains life.

i got one from same seller around a year ago for about the same price. theyre good but the ANC is too strong for me, it feels like a suction cup between my ears and gives me headaches. heard you get used to it after a while but it still bothers me. also the headband hurts my head where it sits naturally, i have to shift it toward the front of my head a little more to relieve it.

the black also leaves some finger prints especially if you have oily skin/fingers. i would probably get the white one if i were to do it again.

That's unfair, an Apple to oranges comparison.

Well, if you're shopping wirelees noise-cancelling headphones, I think the Sony XM series are one of the best values. I got a refurbished XM4 and have been using it for a couple years now. I did not like the sound of Bose, and found the XM4's shortcomings fixable with EQ and forgivable for its solid noise cancelling and Bluetooth performance. I believe the new XM5 supports LDAC.

Of course my Sennheiser HD600 sounds better than the XM4, but it's a totally different headphone design without noise cancelling.
My point is that one should avoid succumbing to upgraditis with the Sony Bluetooth over-ears series. I have a pair of one the originals that was released in 2016 and I'm more than content with it.

I think $199 is still too much for a refurbished older generation headphone, actually wondering why these headphones are so pricey, compared to a let's say a$1000 MacBook Air, which includes an operating system, a state of the art chip, a lot of other hardware and software.

For some of us, it wasn't the $30 difference. It's either a good deal for you or it's not.

Just saying but Anker Soundcore Q series 20/30/45 are direct knockoffs of Bose/Sony but come at a quarter of the price. I got the Q45 for $100 and it beats these headphones when I tried them out locally, online ratings will tel you the same
How is the comfort of the Anker Q45 compared to Bose QC45?

Thank you. Just wondering, what could be the difference in cost of manufacturing between a flagship Sony headphone and an entry level or mid level? Probably not 5 folds. When it comes to buying a digital camera, I understand the price difference, let's say between a Sony FX3 and ZV E10. I own an entry level MacBook Air and the Pro Max with 32GB GPU, I can justify the 2.5 to 4 times price difference as well. But when it comes to headphones, the price just doesn't make sense, whether you find it apples to oranges but that's what I think.

It is not just the cost of manufacturing.
What about the research and development that went into creating this new version of headphones?

If you think this is not significant...then why has everyone not made a pair of headphones that is better than the previous flagship Sony Bluetooth headphones?

I can't really speak to comfort over long periods as I demoed the QC45 for 5 mins and was mainly focusing on sound, but I've took my Q45 on 3 hour plane rides and they get great. In store the Bose was a tiny bit more comfortable cushion wise

Purchased these from this seller the last time they had this deal. The headphones looked new out of the box and work perfectly.
Guess it's all luck what you might get? You do get the 2 year warranty through ebay tho.
