Been on the hunt for a pair of these cans as a gift.
Adding the headphones to my cart applied a 15% off discount coupon (SONYMAY15) bringing it down from $339 to $288.15!
Undercuts the Costco deal I missed out on a few months back - just hoping the box isn't too banged up.
edit: Credit to kale in the comments - add coupon (SSNOW) for another $10 off bringing it to $278.15! I missed this myself, but others can go ham.
Referee: $10 off 1st purchase.
Referrer: $10/$20/$30 off $100/$150/$250 Spend.
Any places where I could get a replacement box?
What's wrong with your box? Gynaecologist?
Might be BV, might be JV
I don't believe this is a genuine question
Better resale value when you have the box.
Why do you always bold some words randomly in all your replies?
@Robot JP: No, jv sometimes will just bold words that have no reason to be in bold. Like I said, jv works in mysterious ways.
Sony seem to damage many boxes
Add Voucher/coupon PLUSSS or SSNOW for an additional $10 off.
I may be missing something here. Adding the earphones with the two codes just leads to a total of $290.15 for me.
Sorry that is with the code PLUSSS which gives $30 off $300 spend. I didn't test with SSNOW, which I assume you used
Great price
XM6 is coming next week, price may drop further
I have been waiting for the XM6
Been wanting a pair of these… Not sure if I should hold or not
Bought these probably 5+ years ago now, never missed a beat. Could not recommend them enough. Game changer for plane rides.
got myself ULT Wear for $160 from Sony eBay on one of these sales
available now for similar price as well, maybe even better
ANC isn't as solid as XM5, but still very good, still better than Px7 S2e.
being a bass head, I prefer ULT Wear. LDAC codec gives good detail and resolution, and that extra bass in the response curve gives the music that extra rich deep end
for me it replaced Bose QC and Px7 both with something that combines decent sound and ANC in one product
so if you like bass guve this a shot. forest green colour is sick, too
I had XM4s and they sounded boring..

The XM4s are already so bass heavy tho 😭
sounds like a great bargain.. ive read that these headphones have a tendency to break on the hinge. have you had much of an issue?
not yet, I only got them sometime last month. they feel solid enough, not super sturdy I'd say, but not flimsy that's 100%. Hard case they come with is handy to carry it around. in comparison, Bose QC were built more solid, I could just throw them into the laptop bag carelessly and they look and feel like new months down the track. but sound quality wasn't stellar (no high res codec was biggest problem, and weird response curve too). With ULT wear I think I need to be more disciplined and carry them in the hard case. will serve longer this way I reckon
Nowhere near as bad as the XM5's and potentially the XM6's. I'm tempted to stock up on a XM4 as well since my XM5 hinge is super loose now..
Thanks op. Got 2x with 1x as gift. And it went down to 263$ each! Not bad for superseded flagship
XM6 revealed tomorrow FYI.
The XM6 has the same hinge design as the XM5 which gets damaged / breaks so easily.
I am not sure is it me only but my ears become hot and sweaty using these for less than an hour . Where as have bose which I can wear comfortably for much longer time
Same, I had to sell mine, ears get way too hot, they also felt like a vice clamp squeezing my head. Obviously nobody at Sony thought a human should test wearing these before production.
Perhaps they tested on people with crewcuts.
A fair few people over the internet have had charging issues with these headphones, me included. They used to charge perfectly every time when I first got them, which was from an eBay sale by Sony similar to the OP's. Then after about a year they just stopped charging whenever I would plug them in.
This website has a few fixes to try should anyone run into the same issue once outside of warranty. https://techrandm.com/sony-wh-1000xm4-not-charging/
For me, I have to do the following and it has worked so far as long as I get my timing right:
"The work around is: turn them off (if they are not), depress and hold the on button, roughly 1 second later (about when the blue light comes on (+/-), insert the type C charging cable in the head piece."
Source Google search highlighting the issue (some have but I'm sure many don't):
https://www.google.com/search?q=reddit+sony+wh-1000xm4+not+c…
BTW, I'm not bagging the headphones as I love them, just indicating an issue……. Maybe whatever causes / caused it has been fixed in more recent units.
Got a refurbed set from the last deal and they wouldn’t charge right out of the box. Because it was a gift it’d gone past return period for eBay. Am about to return them to store asking for replacement but are these steps worth a shot? Seemed like I should return it tho given it was bad out of box.
This or around 40 dollars more for momentum 4s? They are $319 new on ebay after 20% ebay plus discount.
Still rocking my XM3's some 5 years later and love them.
out of stock
Mine arrived this morning and the box is completely pristine - no damage at all?
Same here, my box also looks brand new - maybe the large shipping box with several XM4's was damaged itself
This has come back in stock again? Just bought one myself. Apparently more than 10 available at the time I bought it.
Also although it’s currently out of stock, they also sell the same headset refurbished for $299 - 15% off + $10 off will bring it to $244 if my maths hasn’t failed me. Might be worthwhile to keep an eye on if they will restock the refurbished ones too.
I was on the fence about getting a pair last time around this price, I'm very glad that I did. They are awesome.
OOS now :(
