One of the lowest its ever been, although still cheaper at The Good Guys with cashback.

Update: Massive shout for Doweyy pointing out a $315.15 option at Sony, follow Doweyy comment.

Can confirm that you can also price match at Sony using the price match request, and then they'll adjust the cart to $349.20. You can then apply the coupon "SONYFRENZY" to reduce to $331.74 and get 5% via cashrewards too if you click through and purchase after the cart has been adjusted :)

    Better off OW PB for $331.74 ?

    • Reddy Cool on 11/11/2020 - 12:59

      Seems to be limited stock around, although still a good option if your local OW has stock.

        OW doesnt need to have stock to price beat. You just need to go in person and pay, they text you when the next batch arrives

      Just bought 1 in OW for $331.74

      • exclusiveJeet on 11/11/2020 - 17:39

        Do they match the price with Amazon?

        • sivess21 on 11/11/2020 - 17:47

          Yes I showed amazon price and they did as long it was Australian stock.

      Wow great info.

      Is that $331.75 AND 5% back on 331.75????

      Otherwise I might just go to OW and pick it up there with pricematch/beat/whatever :)

        Yep both 5% off and then 5% cashback also :) Gotta make sure to click through CR after the cart price has changed to $349.

        • chutibuti on 11/11/2020 - 14:30

          I doubt that,, as far as I know CR—> Vendor Site —> add to Cart … or else it wont work .. as far as I know..

          • doweyy on 11/11/2020 - 14:32

            @chutibuti: Only if it's explicitly stated in my experience, never had an issue with websites other than Amazon in the past getting cashback with items previously sitting in the cart..

            • Jay-rad on 11/11/2020 - 14:34

              @doweyy: I was worried because I read the BEFORE adding items… If it works who cares :P
              "After clicking through Cashrewards, is there a time limit for me to make my purchase?

                @Jay-rad: Completely understand and I think that FAQ is more of a disclaimer to ensure tracking works :)

                Just in my experience, I have purchased items already in my cart on a range of websites and personally haven't had an issue. Just yesterday I bought from Myer with an item previously in the cart and it tracked fine. In this case, cashback is more of a bonus but it should still work fine..

                • Jay-rad on 11/11/2020 - 14:40

                  @doweyy: Appreciate the reply and your thorough knowledge.

                  I just signed up to CR yesterday on the Dell 2721DGF deal am learning the ropes.

                  Thanks again I'll see if I can get it to work :)

        • chutibuti on 11/11/2020 - 14:44

        No price match. Just 11% of their own price $395 and then pay with giftcards

  • khell on 11/11/2020 - 14:01

    While it may be cheaper elsewhere, the ability with Amazon to return this no questions asked if there are any issues with it is worth the extra bit for me.

    After using the WH-1000XM3s for 2 years and being delighted with them, it seemed low risk to upgrade to the XM4s and get basically the same headphones but with better ANC and multi-device support.

    While they seem like an incremental upgrade in every way (and worked great for a little while), I had major problems with static/crackling coming from the right earphone after a few hours of use. I returned that pair and received a new pair super fast (fantastic customer service as usual). However, after a few days the replacement pair developed the same issue!

    After some research I found that apparently it's to do with condensation building up in the ear cup and interfering with the ANC, which is not properly insulated (wtf sony). The problem seems a bit too widespread for comfort, and coupled with my anecdotal evidence, this is deal breaker for me a RRP $449 pair of headphones. Won't be trying a third pair.

    • Jay-rad on 11/11/2020 - 14:14

      Where did you get them from? I've been trying to return and get a replacement from the official Sony eBay store for weeks, for the same issue.

      • k1ng on 11/11/2020 - 15:28

        Amazon

    • dresh on 11/11/2020 - 16:04

      Exactly the same experience. Tried two pairs and the creaking noise was so annoying I had to return them both. Also mic not very good for work calls on teams/webex.

      Ended up getting bose 700

      • Midz on 11/11/2020 - 18:07

        How do you find teams calls with the 700s? Noticeable difference between them and the xm4?

          Haven't heard anyone complaining about not being able to hear me anymore so Def better. With the Sony apparently my voice came out incredibly muffled

          • Midz on 12/11/2020 - 08:23

            @dresh: Thanks for the reply

  • mujen1 on 11/11/2020 - 14:46

    can anyone comment on the alleged lack of codec support on android and windows 10?
    I read somewhere that the XM4s don't sound good on Android or Win10 due to this.
    Can anyone who has these comment?

    • fgghjjkll on 11/11/2020 - 15:20
      +1

      Sony moved away from Qualcomm chips for XM4 so they don't support apt-X any more. apt-X was the codec that was supported on just about everything.
      LDAC is the only standard that XM4 supports now, which Android and iOS is fine with, but Windows doesn't support it just yet

      EDIT: You can still use the included aux cable though

      • mujen1 on 11/11/2020 - 15:29

        ok so how do these sound on Android and on PC (windows).
        I know we can use AUX cable but that kind of defeats the purpose of wireless headphones if this is your main use case.

        • fgghjjkll on 11/11/2020 - 15:33
          +2

          They sound fine on Android wirelessly.
          LDAC has more bandwidth than apt-X HD, so if you use TIDAL or have any fancy Hi-Res FLAC files, they'll sound great.
          Spotify and Apple Music will sound about the same

          • mujen1 on 11/11/2020 - 15:40

            @fgghjjkll: hmm ok so windows is the only issue then.

              +1

              @mujen1: It'll still work wirelessly on Windows btw, just will use a different codec which is a little bit slower. Fine for music, but you'll want to use the aux cable if gaming.

      • BargainKen on 11/11/2020 - 20:29

        With iOS you only get either SBC or AAC, not LDAC. Fine for regular streaming, not for audiophiles.

    • commodorekid on 11/11/2020 - 15:58

      It would be awesome if they did, disappointingly the PS5 3d pulse headset has an external dongle

    • BuyOrNot on 12/11/2020 - 13:19

      No they wont, playstation does not support bluetooth for headphones because of lag, it needs another dongle which works on 2.4 GHz RF

    Can confirm the CashRewards worked when Sony price matched. I clicked through from CR, logged into Sony, added to cart, they price matched, added SONYFRENZY bringing it to $331.74. CR emailed an hour later with a $16.59 cash back. $315.15. Thanks OP & @doweyy

  • CapnBloodbeard on 12/11/2020 - 15:20

    Hmm…those who have seen how prices have tracked previously on XM3, what do you reckon the odds are of it being cheaper in aus with black Friday sales at the end of the month? Wondering if I should pull the trigger now….

  • JavaJoe on 12/11/2020 - 15:53

    Requested a price match from Sony 5 hours ago and haven't been contacted. Do they contact you or does the price get automatically updated in the cart?

    • sunyuanxin on 12/11/2020 - 17:09

      same, no response from Sony

      • JavaJoe on 12/11/2020 - 20:09

        still waiting. Oh well, looks like I wait until Black Friday to see what the deal are. And after this experience with the Sony store, look elsewhere.

        • JavaJoe on 13/11/2020 - 11:28

          Good one Sony! They replied this morning after SONYFRENZY coupon has finished.

  • trainingwheelz on 12/11/2020 - 21:14

    I was about to pull the trigger on this but after I read the Amazon reviews, I think I'll stick with my XM3's. Some people have had a really bad experience with a hissing issue in the left earcup and Sony won't take responsibility for it. That worries me when it comes to buying directly through Sony for a price-match deal, because they may not recognise the hissing issue (they blame it on your own sweat in the earcup) and therefore not swap/refund the headphones when it develops the issue.
