    One of the best upgrades was the increase of depth in the ear cup by 10% which means they are soooo much more comfortable than the XM3's especially if you have larger ears than most. I sent my XM3's back and boy I'm certainly keeping the XM4's!

      @@swooty2805 Those headphones are forsure solid, and many people would be happy with them. But the sound quality isn't the same as the xm3/xm4, it has a very bassy reliant sound, which some prefer even if its not as clear. Also the comfort is not nearly where it is with the xm3 and the xm4 is even more comfortable. The noise canceling on the 900N is also just nowhere near where its at with the XM3 and XM4 as well. Certainly not bad headphones though, but I understand why someone would opt to upgrade to these ones. I owned all 3 in the last month lmfao, I compared til I was happy and stuck with the XM4

    Bought the Sony WHXB910N, and I am pretty satisfied with its noise-canceling performance. There is a slight edge of difference in the noise-canceling performance, but overall they are close to XM4's, and the bass is very stable; if looking for something cheap, if you're an average consumer, those might be your best bait. I bought my pair on sale on Amazon -- that blue color is just fantastic! You'll never go wrong if you buy any of Sony's headphones.

    Picked up a pair of these today. Upgraded from the Bose Soundlink 2 that I claimed a refund on with my extended warranty. I must say these are an impressive pair of cans basically better in every aspect. Battery lasts twice as long, noise cancelation is fantastic which isn't on the Soundlink's, app allows for control and customisation while controls on the right ear cup are invisible and work. Couldn't recommend them high enough if you're in the market for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones!
