Part of this week’s trade deals at Costco. Seems to be a decent price for a generally well-received pair of headphones.

Way better than than 5s…
Still waiting on a price drop for the 6s.

What makes them better than the 5?

Less clamp force and better folding mechanism.
I had 2 of the 4s then sold both.
I have the 5 but am using the Sonos Ace instead.

Any idea how they compare with the Bose QCs?

@Plug: Speaking for the 4s, I wish I'd stuck with my QCs. The 4s are good headphones but, for my apparently big-ass head and ears, they don't come close to being as comfortable as my QCs were. I could wear the QCs for a full long haul flight and damn near forget I was wearing them, while the 4s start to get a little uncomfortable after a few hours.

I've had a pair of XM4 headphones since March 2021 and they're still going great. Comfortable to wear throughout the day, works well enough on airplanes to block out most of the background noise (it's not dead silent but so much more manageable), a charge lasts such a long time, and the music quality is good. Fits comfortable over my ears and doesn't give me pressure pain or headaches.
