    Can also get the MX5 from Sony for $336 if you apply the $50 signup bonus and $50 Amex offer.

    • XM4 are regarded as the better headphones.
      Foldable, comes with a carry case, and the design is generally much more portable.

      • XM5 also come with carry case

        • 5 Not travel friendly

      The XM5 has much better microphone noise handling https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/sony-wh-1000…
      Summary
      The Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless are the next generation of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless. There have been a couple of changes in design and performance. As a result, the XM5 have a better microphone performance, and the ANC system attenuates noise slightly differently. You can still expect significant ambient sound isolation from either pair of headphones, though. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The XM5's build isn't as flexible as the previous generation, and the ANC has a harder time blocking out the low rumble of bus engines. Unfortunately, their automatic adaptive ANC system can't be turned off, and some users originally reported issues with the ANC adjusting each time they moved their heads, though this issue may have been corrected in firmware 1.1.3.

    • Is the signup bonus an voucher code sent to your email? Or does it automatically appear in the cart with orders over $400?

      • It's a unique code sent to your email

        • Thank you RC

    Sweet price very tempted for this boxing day purchase and to use on a Europe trip next year. People with big ears, any discomfort wearing them for long periods of time?

    • Cant comment on the size of my ears.. but comfortable for me..
      Might need to have a quick try on in store to see if your ears fit in the cups

      I used them for several hours at work and never an issue. It’s the best headset I’ve ever had.

      I find the narrow headband on my xm5 can hurt after a few hours, I think the xm4 is wider so would help with that

    • First, let me get this out of the way. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

      I don't know if my ears are big, but it's the only one that I wear on flights and it's a beauty. Made a mistake of wearing in-ears from Auckland to Chch and got out of the plane with the worst ear ache ever (never had sore ears in my life, ever. This lasted for hours).

      Safe to say the XM4 is the best.

    Oh so tempting. If I had any money left 😂

    You could price match these from Sony and still get another $100 worth of stuff free if you use the $50 sign up voucher and $50 Amex voucher.

    FYI Sony Store Won't Pricematch coz BS reason lol:

    Original Price Match Request
    Reason: Pricing errors that are lower as a result of an error by the retailer (eg: technical issues, misquoted prices)
    Product ID: WH1000XM4B
    Retailer: Harvey Norman
    Date seen: 25/12/2024

    • Crazy reason considering every other retailer has it at that same price.

      “ Pricing errors that are lower as a result of an error by the retailer”

      Not sure how they can get away with that

      • Moons ago the sony retail stores weren’t allowed to be cheaper than the likes of Noel’s or jbs, wonder if that’s still the case

      No need to price match, $298 @ Sony Store right now.

    Anyone got thoughts on actual usage of Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless vs XM4?

    • Sony I understand has a superior noise cancelling performance.
      Sennheisers sound wider and warmer. XM4s support LDAC while Momentums has Aptx adaptive.
      Comfort is highly subjective.

  • Guys help me should I wait or buy now xd. I just returned mine so in got a lot to spend lol xd

  • Anyone manage to place an order with Sony?

    On the checkout I get
    "Please note: The promotional code usage has been restricted on your cart. Please contact our customer service team to re-enable."

    Oh well, I want it, and they have free shipping, so go to payment
    It prompts to sign in again and gets error
    "There was an error processing the form. Please refresh the page and try again in 2 minutes"

    It's keeps failing.
    I guess that account is broken, so created a new account (with new email).
    Placed the order.

    Got an Amex email saying offer "You just used your Sony Amex Offer"
    Then an hour later got an email from Sony
    "Unfortunately we're unable to process your order at this time"

    I give up.
    Going to place an order from Noel.
    Thanks everyone here for the links.

    • Hmm, this is annoying. On the Sony order status it shows as Despatched (that's how they spell it)
      Confirmed order -> Processing -> Despatched -> Delivered

      I don't need two, so I guess I won't place an order from Noel.
      I feel like I might end up with none.

      • That's frustrating, hopefully their customer service team is working tomorrow and you can find out more.
