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.

I use my headphones for work, watching tv when people are in bed, lifting weights in garage, watching YouTube, organizing house, flying on a plane, and house cleaning. That means 40+ hours per week X 3-5 years when I need a new battery. 200 dollars or even 500 dollars seems an ok price to pay for my rare use case. Sadly my AirPods Max have just started getting less range in the last few weeks.
Transparency mode is killer on the Max, which trumps the crappy case and stinky ear cups if you sweat.
I have the Bose 700 which has a better mic for calls and can use generic ear cups but the transparency mode isn't as good.
I may be in the market soon for my first pair this year.
I think it's doubtful that the XM5 is any better than the old 1000X.
There's just too many limitations on the fidelity that can app achieved with these Bluetooth headphones.
WOW...way to pick and choose what you wanted to read in that review.
First off...the poor scoring was when the headphones were in passive mode.
Who uses the headphones in passive mode?!!!
Now....... let's take a quote from the very last sentence in that review.
"Overall, I am going to recommend the Sony WH-1000MX4 if you apply equalization. Without it, the active mode would barely get a nod from me as well."
AudioScienceReview is rock solid. They do fine work. And I have used them in the past.
I get the feeling that you may not have totally understood what was going on in that review though.
They were reviewing "BLUETOOTH" headphones under true audiophile criteria. This is an arena where Open-Backs often reign supreme and, while you can find inexpensive gems, the top performers often can run up into $1000 dollars...or better.....and ALL of them are corded.
In the past, to even consider Bluetooth competitive was herasy. The tech was not even close to there. That they are now being reviewed and considered says a lot.
If you plan to pair your headphones with a high-dollar DAC and headphone Amp,, and sit in a chair with the headphones tethered to the stack, then maybe these are not the headphones for you. But the people considering these are not doing that.

That was the XM4. He has not reviewed the XM5. Wow...you really do just miss key points in a comment.
And it was without equalization..which seemed to impress him. To the point that he Recommended them.
But while on the topic..why not mention the Bluetooth headphones that did significantly better.
