Will probably be on sale during Black Friday. This was available for $160 refurb as the lowest price ever. Anything over $240 for this new is not a sale.

Doubt you'll see this sub 200 for a brand new unit. This is a great price, I purchased last time and it was new sealed in box.

What am I missing here? These are 27% off $399 msrp. Even Costco will have them on BF sale for $330 (+ $30 apple gc, so effectively $300 if you care about Apple GC) AND Woot here has lower than that. So it sounds like this is a great deal!

Has any of you seen these go any cheaper?

I am not a fan of the QC45. I get random "hiccups" with the connection to both my phone and laptop. I do not have that issue with the Sony's.

$110 is a big difference in price though. I'm not sure which one I would pick, but I do know I prefer the Sony's.

Don't buy and force Sony to reprice themselves at BF or Xmas sales.

You are right for your use case. The XM5s have triple the amount of microphones for better NC and call performance. If somebody is looking for an all round ANC wireless headphones that are also good for taking meetings from zoom, teams etc, then Bose doesn't even cut close. Even the newer QuietComfort Ultra have very poor performance aka the voice of the person speaking through Bose comes very boxy and fluffy. Compare that to XM5, it's super bad. The sound quality is subjective so we will just leave it at that.
