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.

How did you do that?
Edit: oh you bought in store?
Just done that online at target.com (with local pickup)
My kids prefer a white version so have to order from Target instead. Thanks @WenW5757 for the heads up!
The online CSR initially said because it was a discounted price in Costco.com so the price match won't apply in such case but applied that in the end as a courtesy...Nice person so YMMV...

You're probably the only one that was able to price match successfully. Either you're lying or just really lucky.

I talked to multiple chats and all of them denied it. Reason being that the price isn't visible, it's a sale price, member's only price, or it's SE instead of the regular model, etc. There's too many reason for it to be denied, but I do think in-store have a higher chance of working.

Got one with 5 left at my local. Weird that I could Bluetooth connecting directly via iPhone and can't do it following its Bose music app's instructions. Anybody else has the same issue?

What was the price in store? I just went to my local Costco, but they didn't have it in stock.

So on a 15 hour flight which would wear?
Bose...all day long. Comfort is much better. Sony is stiff and harder foam.

Are the XM5s noticeably lager than the Bose 45s? In practice do you notice it? I like that the Bose headphones can collapse down.
Bose collapses much better - of note, the newest model lost this feature. Why can't Bose get the user experience right? one screwup is bad (last model) but 2 in a row...?!?

Actually I can't even tell which model is which. Are the 2023 versions just the Quietcomfort? That's confusing.
