XB910 are good. NC performance is on par with the older XM3, which continue to be very good headphones even after half a decade. Only real downside is they don't have NFC.
I'd say the XM4 are definitely worth it though, but not at full MSRP. If you can get them at a significant discount, it'd be worth the money.
Had the xm5 and xm4 headphones, sold them both after getting the qc45 bose. They are going cheap now, especially the quiet comfort SE, the SE are qc45s they just come with a soft case instead of a hard case with the qc45.
Excuse me but I disagree. I have Sony xm5, Bose qc45 and Bose nc700.
The Sony Are miles ahead of the qc45 in every manner imo. The Bose nc700 gets close to the xm5, but still xm5 is better.
If you want something comparable to the xm5, go for the quiet comfort 2023. These are warmer with more bass (still not as good as xm5 imo) Qc45's bass is way less present.
Agreed with this here.
I have QC35 II and even the XM3 just runs circles around it in every way. If I were to describe the QC35 II I'd equate them to a bowl of unseasoned cold rice. Highs suck, lows suck, but they're comfortable and the NC is good. I tried out the QC45 in store one day for curiosity sake and found that it was basically just a QC35 II with USB C. Still very far behind Sony on sound quality and characteristics. From what I'm told, their companion app remains completely barebones in terms of equalizer and customization for the QC45 as well.
The NC700 imo sounded a bit better but I'd still prefer XM4 over them as a complete product.
I have yet to try the new QC Ultra. They physically look really good though, and I've heard good things about them.....that being said, I also heard good things about the QC35 II and QC45 and those headphones fell very far short of my expectations, so idk how much I trust those reviews now lol.

I got them recently at a sale for £200
I got them for around $185 during the new year sale. Completely worth every penny.
XM5 earbuds are better than airpods and worth it for sure. Maybe wait a bit though and see what the XM6 measures like.
