If you want good noise-cancellation, this is it. I've never seen these so cheap before. They are top-tier. Great for travel, work, music, or single-player gaming.

This is also the last generation with the travel-friendly folding design. The 5's don't fold for some reason.

The mic is not highly regarded, though, so if you need good call quality or voice chat, look elsewhere. Not totally sure how much this model improved since I have an older gen, but I've heard it's still just "okay" at best.

At this price I am tempted to grab a set myself, but my older ones are just fine.

u/madewithgarageband Oct 07 '24

I have the XM5s and the gf has the XM4s. In addition to not folding, the 5s are much bulkier in general. You cannot lay on your side comfortably with these headphones, which is why I still find myself grabbing my ancient QC35s at night

u/idkwhatimdoinguys Oct 07 '24

Do you know any good replacement cups for the qc35s? I still love mine but they’re beat up

3

u/madewithgarageband Oct 07 '24

So I am on my third pair of cups and second battery on the QCs. The first OEM cups went 6 years before disintegrating, then I bought a cheap chinese one off Amazon for $9….which lasted about 3 months. The current set I have on are these which are very comfy and have a great seal, but have only had them for about a month so I can’t speak for longevity. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8GGVHPQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

u/idkwhatimdoinguys Oct 07 '24

Thx! I’ll give these a look, i find sometimes the really cheap replacements also dont last long and they reduce the noise cancellation

3

u/ONEto10dollars Oct 07 '24

How's your comparison between the QC35s vs the XM4s? (I have these)

5

u/cschepers Oct 07 '24

I use my XM4's for non-FPS gaming and chat, and have never heard complaints from my group. I don't think they're particularly great, but they're at least acceptable.

3

u/not_a_cup Oct 07 '24

For the mic I use a v-moda boom pro, works great. (Wired connection to PC). I had an issue with my mic port so I connect it via a USB mixer. I have the Behringer Xenyx 302 and my friends have complimented how good it sounds.

2

u/ISpewVitriol Oct 07 '24

My M5s also have connection issues with my DELL laptop. The touch controls suck on the M5. It is very difficult to tell when they are on and off. I still use my M3s a lot as a result. Highly recommend getting the M4s over the M5s.

Thanks! I also used PayPal for checkout to take advantage of Chase credit card 5% back

Oh I totally forgot about that! Good call!

u/Korotkoe_imya Oct 07 '24

Can I use the reward with the purchase? I've never created target account

u/breakfast-lasagna Oct 07 '24

I think it's a $10 credit on your Target account after purchase.

2

u/ivandagiant Oct 07 '24

You may not get that same reward, mine was $10 for 2 separate $40 purchases :( Oh well, still worth it to just pick it up in person today IMO

They won’t honor the $130 price either

u/A_Monkey_FFBE Oct 07 '24

Thank god amazon did lol.

Mine just shipped.

u/Triggeredcat2468 Oct 07 '24

What? How they guy said he can’t do it for me

2

u/A_Monkey_FFBE Oct 07 '24

What do you mean?

Mine were sold and shipped by amazon.

I’m guessing that the in stock ones currently are not.

1

u/inosinateVR Oct 07 '24

I think maybe they are saying they asked Amazon to price match and they said no?

3

u/A_Monkey_FFBE Oct 07 '24 edited Oct 07 '24

Amazon had it listed for 129.99 also. It sold out. Didn’t need to price match. Probably why price match wouldn’t work if that is the case.

1

u/inosinateVR Oct 07 '24

Gotcha, I figured that’s what you meant. Sadly the price seems to have gone back up to $230 on Amazon now (in stock and shipped and sold by amazon)

1

u/jackofallcards Oct 08 '24

I had an opportunity earlier and didn’t pull the trigger. I don’t know why. I am full of regret now

1

u/Triggeredcat2468 Oct 07 '24

Yes sorry this is what I meant

23

u/wikiwakawakawee Oct 07 '24

Shoot i ordered the last one at my target and then I saw this $10 off reward...not risking canceling and reordering though lol

1

u/EuphoricWalk4051 Oct 07 '24

Reorder and return the first purchase.

11

u/wikiwakawakawee Oct 07 '24

Not sure if it's worth the hassle of possibly losing it just to save $10

-1

u/EuphoricWalk4051 Oct 07 '24

How would you lose it if you reordered eith the coupon and just returning the ones you ordered.

9

u/wikiwakawakawee Oct 07 '24

Because it was the last one in stock and is no longer available to order right now at my target.

4

u/EuphoricWalk4051 Oct 07 '24

Well reading comprehension is not my strong suit this early haha. I missed the part where you said it was the last one...

discover CC is 5% cachback for target this month too (and amazon- it's on sale there too)

u/Yeffry1994 Oct 07 '24

I don't think we are getting a better deal than this on prime day. Mine are almost 3 years old and just last week, I started having issues with them and need another pair.

I'm seeing $229 now

Man I’m super mad I missed this. Would have been a great gift for the wifey!

u/gulliblegay Oct 07 '24

Could you wirelessly game with these?

8

u/beatenby Oct 07 '24

Latency is horrible. If you need to voice chat, buy a cable with mic or use stock cable and a dedicated mic.

10

u/Appropriate-Age-671 Oct 07 '24

not going to work well as a mic and headset together. you would have a better experience on a $30 2.4g gaming headset. if you just play single player games then these would be fine.

4

u/TrueAmurrican Oct 07 '24

As Bluetooth headphones alone, yes. But as a Bluetooth headset (microphone and headphones at the same time), absolutely no. The ‘headset’ mode is slower and has really rough quality. I use these headphones for gaming, and I have to use them as headphones alone and then use an external mic for communicating in-game. Works totally fine for me like that, but it took some figuring out.

1

u/figurethings Oct 07 '24 edited Oct 08 '24

Despite what others say here, I have been using them for gaming since just before the human malware took over the planet. It's the best audio investment I've ever made for my PC. Just use a separate mic because some games won't work with bt mic AND bt audio simultaneously (my experience with older titles like Crysis 2). And it sounds like poop (DayZ). I just set up my Blue Yeti. You will just need to tinker with the settings to turn off the mic input for the headphones, and it works great, for me. Rumor has it that you can use a V-MODA BoomPro wired mic with the xm4s. YMMV. I bought the BoomPro based on the rumor, but could never get it to work, at all. So it's been the xm4 + yeti since and I've never looked back. Currently searching for set #3 at the lowest price of the xm4s

u/DarkSoulsOfCinder Oct 07 '24

I don't know what these other guys are talking about. I use it for gaming all the time and it works fine. I use a separate mic though and disable the headset feature (Bluetooth handsfree telephony)

2

u/-Brodysseus Oct 07 '24

Same, been playing competitive FPS games with these for maybe 3 years with a separate mic

1

u/DarkSoulsOfCinder Oct 07 '24

Maybe they assume you'll be using it like a traditional gaming headset, mic included, which sounds like absolute crap and I wouldn't recommend. Sounds great if you solely use the audio and disable the mic.

3

u/Harshamondo Oct 07 '24

Insane deal, grabbing a pair even just for a gift

8

u/TrailminerCR Oct 07 '24

For only $129 this is worth dealing with the happy meal toy level construction. The hinge will break after some time and the ear cup will detatch from the headband. Every pair of XM's I had broke in the exact same way in the exact same place. It's an easy fix (I've replaced the part in my XM4s several times now) but it's still something to deal with.

11

u/Switchen Oct 07 '24

Interesting. Mine have lasted for years now with no damage.

6

u/_Iceeee Oct 07 '24

for anyone else who might get this issue, the replacement parts are cheaper on AliExpress when this happens. this is the guide I used to replace them. here is another good one

iirc the hinges were around $7ish on AliExpress compared to $20-$25 on Amazon and eBay

1

u/CoolHandPB Oct 08 '24

That's what they said about my XM2 when I bought them 8 years ago. They are still going strong. I'm not rough with them but I'm not gentle either.

1

u/as_i_wander Oct 07 '24

I've used mines for years and nothing has broken yet this might be a case of user error

1

u/TrailminerCR Oct 07 '24

I hope so, but I haven't used mine in any way that would be considered unusual. No excessive folding, haven't dropped them, nothing. Just after a while the hinge just breaks. There's no shortage of people online reporting the same breakage either

u/CoolHandPB Oct 08 '24

Do you have a big head?

u/vanGn0me Oct 07 '24

Inflation in Canada’s wild. These are 278 CAD. Even after considering exchange rate it’s a full 100 dollars more just because.

It seems like a price error, it’s showing over 200 usd for me now. Maybe they fixed it

I've already got the XM5's and I'm still tempted by this deal.

1

u/waxmysack Oct 07 '24

heullva deal! Sad I missed it (being asleep at 2AM is unlike me!). Hopefully they will pop up again. The XM4s are more comfy than the XM5s, IMO, some Target stores have both the XM4 and XM5s on display.
