On the other hand, if Apple came out with a decent travel case for the AirPods Max, I'd certainly be tempted to get those instead. Sony's travel case is one of its best features!
apple is garbage when it comes to their headphones. ugly. don't fit right. overpriced. ****** performance. heavy. and dumb.

The current XM4s can be paired with 2 devices at the same time. For me, that’s my iPad and iPod Classic.I would gladly change my Beats Solo Pro for this SONY headphones, if (and it is a big if) they had the level of OS integration that my H1 Solo Pro have with macOS, iOS and iPadOS.
Quickly pairing my headphones and changing from my mac to my iPad using the same headphones is a great experience.
Sorry? Didn’t catch that…People who praise Sony headphones should get their ears checked.
AudiocityWait, are you implying that "WH-1000XM5" is not a catchy name? The audacity!!
Or just skip the ”having kids” part and save the planet from a whole lotta plastic Disney garbage.I came across this article about a married couple whose AirPods max factor heavily into their routine of raising their child and it’s a fairly fascinating read.

AirPods Max: A Parent’s Point of View – The Sweet Setup
In one short swoop, the AirPods Max have nicely fixed my Madhouse distraction-maximalist home and my late evening television entertainment needs. I can now drown out most of the chaos swirling around when it’s time to work and I can enjoy a new level of audio when watching my favorite Disney+ shows.thesweetsetup.com
I am not sure how much of their experience with the AirPods max can be replicated using cheaper alternatives elsewhere, but they do make a pretty compelling reason for owning a pair. If Apple does released an updated version, I might just find myself picking up one of these.
Do you realize how many headphones Sony has made over the last five decades?!please dont mix and match currencies in the article.
Edit: thanks for the fix
Then, if the change is really seamless, maybe I’ll consider giving them a try.The current XM4s can be paired with 2 devices at the same time. For me, that’s my iPad and iPod Classic.
When it comes to wireless noise-canceling audio, Sony's existing flagship WH-1000MX4 headphones are among the best on the market and arguably the biggest rival of AirPods Max
Works well with my iPhone too. Any 2 devices. Maybe these new guys do 3….Then, if the change is really seamless, maybe I’ll consider giving them a try.
Why would you say that? Do you have any performance data you would like to share with the rest of us? Any claim to having ears that are better than the rest? Have you beaten one of those ABX tests (I haven't). I do have the XM4 and they definitely do a very good job for me. Good noise cancelling, good sound, comfortable, outstanding battery life and they switch fairly well between iPhone and Mac. Not sure it would make sense for me to upgrade to XM5, but the XM4 usually gets pretty good reviews. I do have wired Sennheiser, but for wireless comfort, walks outdoors, the XM4 are great IMHO.People who praise Sony headphones should get their ears checked.
Doesn’t Sony have someone who works in advertising it come up with an actual product name?
if you guys want good sound quality headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless is the way to go. Airpods Max, 1000XM4, and Bose Quietcomfort 35 are all beneath the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless.
I can’t stand the sound profile of Bose headphones.Nicer than the Airpods max but not as nice as the Bose 700's.

Those sound great but completely fail to cancel any serious sounds. Also, mine couldn’t connect with more than one Bluetooth device without being a pain.if you guys want good sound quality headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless is the way to go.

I highly doubt Sony, Bose or Sennheiser see the Airpods Max as a rival. Maybe a lesson in what not to do.
Isn’t that a siri invoke? At least it would be normally. Not sure if XM4s can do it without touching button or if music fades after ping.One small critique of the XM4s. When I start singing along, or I cough, whilst wearing them, something strange happens which causes them to ping, the music fades out, and I have to press the power button to fade the music back in again. Am I using the ANC wrong?
