Got these refurbished last time they came around. Great sound, top tier noise cancelation, clean aesthetic. Maybe the best travel option due to the incredible battery life. Love that I don't need to put stuff in my ears sometimes too.

These have multipoint connectivity that works pretty well to operate Bluetooth from two devices. Best implementation I've used.

A little loose and fall off if I don't move them forward when I bench. This also means they're relaxed and light when sitting upright.
People talk about broken hinges... I've seen no hint of it yet.

XM6 will be announced May 15https://youtu.be/wtCmdWaXqYo?si=Y2le2yEqaEo0a1vR
Sony headphones have always had the problem of being over - priced at launch and then experiencing a rapid price drop within a few months. So I think that in the first six months, the price gap between the XM6 and the XM5 will be quite large, to the extent that they are not even competing products at the same level.

Personal opinion, i would rather have small airpods pro. I had had all 3 headphones, and for me i still enjoy regular airpods pro and stopped using others. Primarily because of ease of use.
Ease of use doesn't make the other headphones bad, just different.

Xm6 will be announced soon, plus they'll be cheaper than ever. No more tariff tax added because my American president said so

Sure, Both of them sound quality quality mediocre.
Apple does not fold, and can be pretty hot to wear.
Sony has snap issues it break on connector, but i did not had this issue personally.

I think he is having issues verbalizing his thoughts.

Most of the time the people who do not like these XM, any Bose around ear, Airpods Max is because of the clamping, the weight, the feeling of vacuum and suction.

Those same people prefer in ear buds which for many Airpods Pro 2 is the king just because they use multiple Apple products and even in 2025 all major manufacturers are still having issues (just ask the people who bought the Bose QC Ultras how their connectivity to a few devices is)

That doesnt even factor in the people who wear glasses, for those many of the headphones with a stronger clamping force will simply not work unless they are wearing glasses with frames thinner then those worn by Benjamin Franklin

That being said - this model is a lemon and the Bose alternatives are not much better. Apple's is good but old and has serious flaws as well

Never been a better time to wait then now

Would there be a significant difference between these and my current XM3s?

how do these compare to these to the Apple AirPro Max headphones?
AirPods Max are too heavy and uncomfortable except for ecosystem, premium build and easy pairing they are ok ok..This one is made with reused plastic, sound quality on par or better than AirPods Max. Comfy to wear for longer time.Each one is designed for different people in mind.

I need a deal on xm4. I don't really care for all this extra tech. My Beats Studio from 2017 need replacement.

other than the Target gift card option -- are there any other eBay coupon codes or anything available?

Can you fold these when you travel?
