I've tried these in Best Buy in person and they are essentially just Sony WH-1000XM4s for $148, not a bad deal imo.
ANC on these are on-par if not better than XM4s, sound quality is quite comparable but with a bit (or a metric ton, depending on how many times you press the ULT button) of bass boost, build quality is a bit more plasticky but not much, and they are as comfortable as XM4s as far as my ears are concerned. I especially like they do fold up like XM4s do instead of like XM5s, where they fold into an awkwardly shape that still takes quite a bit of space.
I reviewed them for Best Buy and can say that I agree, overall. It's a good alternative to the XM4. I didn't like how ULT2 mode sounded, but liked ULT1 for bass-heavy music, and then disengaging the ULT mode altogether reveals a much more balanced stock sound signature that I think a lot of people will like for a wide variety of music. Comfort was also very good with plush headband padding and earcups.

ANC and Transparency modes were solid. It uses the same onboard chip as the XM5 for ANC processing. Transparency was notably really good, much better than many higher-end options I've heard on the market. And the sound quality competes with XM4 and is better than the XM5 in my opinion.

The included case is also quite good. I'd personally take the Sony ULT Wear over the Sennheiser ACCENTUM based on my experiences with each, and would even take it over the XM5 because of it's form factor, more rigid protective case, better sound signature, and better battery life.
I'm confused, my xm3's that I've had since 2019 have a usb-C charging port and as far as I can tell from a quick google search, so does the XM4.

They are usbC:

Do these charge over USB C? That's the biggest issue with the XM4s these days (IMHO).

So are there any aspects of the XM4 that are better than this ULT model?

XM4 comes with an Airplane headphone adaptor, the ULT WEAR does not. XM4 is ever so slightly a bit better built, but not by much since XM4 themselves are pretty plasticky already. Other than these two points, I'm having a really hard time picking out advantages for the XM4.

amazon price is back to $148.

I'm passing because I got in on the xm4 deal and from graphs it looks like these have worse treble for my preferences.
