I got these over the holidays in white. The noise cancellation is fantastic and the sound is great but the clamping force on your head is harsh. I've been putting the headphones on the outside of my case to try and lessen the force a bit. Not as comfortable as XM4.

I found it odd too, but it's probably just an easy way for them to make money (especially with it auto-selected). My credit card company should cover me if it arrives damaged and Adorama won't exchange it for whatever reason.

Got these on Amazon and had them for almost 2 month. They sound great, but the comfort was really lacking compared to 2 pairs I owned of the XM4s. They clamp too hard and kept having problems toggling through my TV and phones audio. I sent them back and got the Bose QC Ultra 2 and never looked back.

~$10 Package Protection? Kinda scares me that there needs to be an option like that...
Add Package Protection : $10.08
Get coverage for package loss, theft, or damage. Learn more.
Note: Once order ships, no refund for Package Protection.
I always turn these types of package protection things off. But if I lived in an area where package theft is common and I worked all day, then this would probably interest me.

Thanks, just placed an order. Been watching on Amazon for them to go below $399 and missed their deal the other day, but this deal is even better.
My XM3 still has good battery life. Probably going to wait for another $100 drop...

Same. I also tried the XM6s and ended up returning them. Tried the Bose QC Ultra 2s and I'm not sure there is a more comfortable noise cancelling pair of headphones, they are amazing. I use them for hours and hours a day at work and have no issues with clamping force or my ears getting too warm from wearing them very long (had both of those problems with the XM6s).

Quote from Azrael_the_Cat :
It's odd for sure. Standard UCC terms for retail are such that the vendor is responsible for the package up through delivery. I don't see anything on Adorama's site / purchase terms that suggest they try to shift responsibility to the customer once it leave their warehouse (which would be FOB shipping in commercial terms). This would seem to render most of the package protection irrelevant outside of theft from your porch.
I've started seeing more and more Ecomm sites offer package protection for a fee. As you said UCC states seller responsibility through delivery. I wonder if porch piracy falls into some grey area of "it was delivered" but the buyer hasn't taken possession of the package [shrug]

When I see that company name, my eyes glaze over and I think, "hopefully that deal will pop up somewhere else soon."

Ahh tempting. Will I like it better than QC ultra?
The QC Ultra (G2) are supposed to be noticably more comfortable.
