I mean, for ANC away from home listening, they aren't bad. I'd have bought an older used model, but I understand wanting the latest version new. Are they the best audio you can get for the money? No, but they're convenient and have some nice features. I think they're a decent buy.
The best would be?
Either Focal Bathys, PX7 S2, or a lil expensive Sennheiser M4
So if my goal is great ANC and great Audio I should take the sennies M4 over thr sonys? Given we ignore tuning preferences ofc
i have the xm4 so not quite the newest but they are designed for traveling on a plane. every part of it is optimized for that kinda high volume constant rumbling environment and they are in my opinion the best headphone for that environment. but they are not critical listening headphones nor do they try to be. so i would say that if you are planning on doing a lot of traveling with them i would go woth the sonys if you are going to be using them in like an office there are better sounding headphones
