    Look for a pair of the Sony XM3 or xm4
    They are the previous versions and are excellent and if you shop around can be had for under $400

    I have both the Sony 1000XM4 and Sennheiser 550ii headphones. And I hate the Sony xm4's they are hot, and the user interface compared to the Sennheiser is junk. But my biggest issue with the xm4 was that they removed the aptx codec that was available on the xm3 and my cellphone doesn't play nice with the Sony ldac codac (sound distortion on some high notes when using Bluetooth).
    As such I highly recommend the Sennheiser 550 or 550ii units, but your milage may vary.

      I went the other way, I had the PXC550 and when mine broke under warranty I swapped out to the sony xm4. I found both comfortable but prefer the UI on the sonys over the sennheisers and find the noise cancelling better. The only feature I miss from the 550 is usb audio support but with quick charging I think I've only needed that feature once in almost 2 years.

    No idea if they've been published on anyones sites yet but that $689 asking price will drop hard after a few months. Id expect Noel Leemings CSC groups to drop it to 400 and a fart, Same thing happened with 1000xm4 and 1000xm3

      Hope so, if can drop the price in July will be better hhhh

                @tonykwok8: Yes.
                That is the best way to do it.
                I order online for collection. Only been asked for ID to verify it was me collecting the order.
                Never been asked for verification of discount code entitlement.
