The leakage was caused more noise to leak through and not allowing the NC to fully engage.
I picked up XM6 and PX7 S3 to compare. Obviously those are different devices, but speaking generally:
- ANC: Sony blows B&W out of the water, to the point where I had to seriously evaluate my motivations for getting headphones
- Build quality: B&W blows Sony out of the entire water park. Sony feels like a plastic toy that you can snap in half if you apply enough force. B&W is a premium device made with metals and very comfortable ear pads.
- Sound quality: B&W is noticeably better SPECIFICALLY when you compare them back-to-back. Sony just sounds so muffled once you put on the B&W. Everyone talks about bass on Sony, but bass is PX7 strong point too, to the point where I had to tune it down. PX7 downside is that sometimes it has piercing highs, especially high hat cymbals. It was pretty fatiguing before I got used to it. Overall, PX7 clarity is just significantly superior to Sony.
I did in fact evaluate my priorities, and I decided that FOR ME, sound quality was the most important factor, and I knew I would be disappointed if I picked up the Sony. So I stuck with B&W, which FOR ME has been an amazing choice, since I have used it to listen at home, and am enjoying a level of clarity I have never heard in my other devices.
Note: I got both headphones last BF when they had pretty deep discounts for open box on Amazon. Each one was around the $250 range.

Bose Qc has better audio and anc, But this one feels like more premium, has premium materials comparing to bose qc, also more comfortable. I'm not sure which one I will keep, but for sure sound on qc is better
The anc works great and didn't have any issues such as the earcups not being seated all the way
Looked new outside of the refurb stickers on the box and on the headphone hinge/sliding area

I've owned dozens of headphones, some close to $2K. At $100, refurbished or not, this is a crazy good deal.
Shipping is free w/ Prime. Otherwise shipping is $6.

Maybe that was the reason it got returned to begin with, maybe it was during the refurbish process. Is working now fine.
Really happy with the build quality and how comfortable these are. Sound quality out of the box is really good and tuned towards the mid-high frequencies. Think of Jazz or Vocals music. Haven't played with the EQs yet to test the bass.
Really wish Bose and Sony would take notes from B&W in terms of build. Both Bose and Sony are selling cheap plastic super delicate headphones for an absurd amount of money.
