However, the Immersive mode, IMO, is very gimmicky, and doesn't improve the experience of listening to the music, with mild annoyance at best.
Noise canceling feature is very finicky as well. The music and noise canceling will be paused and disabled whenever it hears a loud sound nearby. Walking by the busy street will make the headphone stops the music constantly, a very unpleasant experience. I read the manual and made all kinds of setting changes via the app, but nothing helped.
Fortunately, I was able to find my XM4 back and returned this "Ultra" headphone immediately.
Would not recommend it if you already have XM4 or equivalent headphones.

1) I miss the XM5's pass through mode. Either I can "talk to speak" or cup the right ear and it magnifies the outside conversation. Great for when you or someone is trying to talk to you. Bose does have a mode called "aware" but that just means noise cancelling is off, it doesn't clarify or boost conversations.
2) white noise does sound higher than the xm5 as another user mentioned when not listening to anything.
3) Bose noise cancellation seems a smidge better than xm5. But a hiss and white noise as mentioned.
4) the power on is wonky. Half the times it won't turn on even when holding the Bluetooth/power button for 10 seconds. First time I did this, I wondered if Bose sent me a defective unit. But YouTube videos show that this seems to be an issue.
Hands down XM5s better
Qc45 looks better but def not as good noise cancelling as xm5
1st world problems but I guess I'll wait for next releases to see

They are back in stock at Verizon (for $379), so maybe there's hope after all. Unfortunately, my pending charge disappeared and I haven't been re-charged.
Last time I ordered Bose from Verizon (during the 75% off sale), my entire order was canceled 2 days after I placed it.
I called and at first they tried to get me to accept some terms and conditions relating to new cell phone service (which they emailed while I was on the phone). After I told them no way, it's just an accessory order, they claimed to have pushed the order through. I still don't have tracking but supposedly it will ship in 24 hours. We shall see...but if you're in my situation (waiting for an order to ship and it's not happening), it might be worth calling.
