Bonus points (might be targeted):
1. in the Amex card app there's "get $50 back if you spend $300 at Computer Lounge".
2. They also offer https://www.computerlounge.co.nz/shop/audio/accessories/head… for free with these headphones

I've head these headphones for like half a year and they've been amazing. The key points are:

Noise cancelling is good
Can connect to a computer via USB-C cable and it'll be recognised as an audio device. Headphones will be charging at the same time. Of course, there's a 3.5mm jack cable as well.
Multipoint bluetooth connection - 2 devices.
Support for all bluetooth codecs including LDAC and AptX.

Downsides: they are chunky.

How does this compare to the WH-1000XM4 and XM5, in terms of ANC effectiveness, sound quality and comfort? I'm thinking of upgrading from a XM4 to a XM5 but this looks good as a backup headphone.

  As per the review compared to XM4:
  
  Both of these headsets have superb active noise cancelling, excellent sound quality, and a luxurious build.
  
  For me personally, the deciding factors were:
  1. support for AptX in Shure
  2. Laptop->USB-C cable sound.
  3. real buttons instead of those "tap"-type magic ones on Sony.
  
  As for comfort, I can wear them all day with no discomfort.
