Seems like a good price. FWIW I ordered the XM5s from Secondipity last month and they were practically new. Free shipping. Includes 2 year warranty from Allstate.

Xm5 doesn't even fold. So if you travel, I'd got the xm4
That said, if you travel over 6 hours, the signature sony headphone ear cramping will come to play ( I don't know why, but they have had this poor ear chamber design since 1990), I would get bose instead if you do long haul flights

And yes, I have them all
Best over the ear headphones on the market for the price. Had mine 2 years now and love them
You can check rtings or a bunch of other review websites.

Bottom line is that XM5 may only be a slight upgrade with regard to ANC, however this may not even be noticeable. Both are great options. I don't think you would regret purchasing the XM4's and saving ~$50.

you won't notice difference in sound or anc but it will be a deal breaker if you need them to fold

IMO folding is overrated. I had the Bose QC45 before. You still have a bulky case even folded. Get a clip and hook to the outside of your bag.

I agree the ANC will be close enough. From what I experienced, the XM5 has better bass. Also the mic on the XM5 is significantly better if you need to get on calls.

Like the XM4 but the clamping makes my ear sweat after 30mins. Because of this I only use them on flights. The Bose options are much more comfortable but at a slight degrade in sound QA and ANC. Try at BestBuy first before buying.

Got this deal from the same seller a few years ago. Has held up good with light use. Love the quality, condition I got it in. Even used the warranty recently and found they were able to fix the mic issue I was having.
One of the few that didn't put a lot of pressure on my ears. I've tried Bose that was released around the same time and the pressure was bad. So, it's easy to say - what works for one may not work for another.

This deal or should I stick with my Beats Studio Pros (which I don't often use)?

Any input on how the xm4's interact with the Apple ecosystem?

Great deal, I paid $190 for this from the same reseller 3.5 years ago. I think I had a slight problem out of the box and had to do a factory reset, and they've been great since then. I've used them for hundreds of hours. No regrets.

If you're not an audiophile it probably won't be a huge step up from a $60 set of Ankers or something, but I've had the cheaper headsets die after a year, and the Sony noise cancelling is incredibly good compared to the cheaper brands. The battery lasts 20+ hours, the sound is good, the headphones are comfortable, the fold nicely for travel, and I like how they pause when removed from your head. The touch interface is just okayish, I prefer buttons.

I think the first question is why don't you use the beats

I'm just wondering, what the common issues with this are? I know the earbuds have a battery drain issue. Is that the same issue on the headphones?

Is there anyway to clean the demo ones? Don't want to wear headphones after someone else.

Yes, fair question, lol. I purchased them to mainly use with my Apple TV 4K, specifically with movies. And I just haven't watched many recently. But I would like to start using OTE headphones while listening to music because I'm not super in love with using my AirPods Pro's 2. So if the xm4's are better than the BSP's and interact well with Apple products then I'd probably buy

Fwiw, I use the XM5(headphones) with iPhone and iPad. I think the AirPods are a bit more seamless as iOS has the pop up when switching sources. But I also dislike how Apple auto swaps sources. With the Sony, you can use their Headphone app to switch sources or have it fixed to one. It works fine. I would not let this stop you from using Sony.

Been thinking about getting these, but you can find Sennheiser Momentum 4s refurbs for $220. That Sennheiser sound and 60 hour battery might be worth the extra money.
