Have both. The XM5 has better noise cancellation on planes. Considerable difference IMO. Bose are more comfortable and have better clarity. XM5 has better bass.

I bought them for $200 Black Friday 2022. I'd recommend them.
They sound great, the noise cancelling is very good, but not quite as good as my Sony XM4's. If you're putting away silverware or clank a glass, the Bose attempts to compensate and winds up sending a loud counter clank.
However, I cannot recommend any Sony's. The XM4 earbuds had the dead battery issue and my XM4 headphones have the random ear piercing squeal with ANC. Their quality control and reliability are not worth the risk.

I think I paid 200 for these at Costco last year? I'm no audiophile, but they're easily the best pair of headphones I have. Super recommend.

Anyone know the difference between these and the newer Quiet Comfort 2023 model that is on sale for $250? Hard for me to tell except 2 hours extra battery life.

Would that stack with $20 off $199 when you sign up for an account?

I have the squeal on my XM3s but it happens only when I take them off and leave them on the desk and go somewhere or not use them. And if they sit on the desk while ANCing they could start making a siren like whine. I suspect it could be material touching the mic inside the cans?

There are a few videos on YouTube about cleaning the mic. I tried a few techniques and they would not work or it came back within a few days. But others have had success with it.

For those folks that use these on airplanes, how do you connect them to the airplane's backseat tv?
Probably with the 3mm cord.

Bose.com offers the same price (hard case) but additional $20 off coupon for new customers and white color is also available

Had these a few years ago. Loved them. Unfortunately, I forgot them on a subway one day.

Would definitely recommend them. The only ones that I think are definitely better, are the Ultra's, but those are double the price.

I just picked up QC 45's from Costco this morning as a gift for my wife.
