Anyone have any noise cancelling headphones they want to part with? Must be USB C charging.

 

Would need to be shipped to Christchurch.

Sony XM4s seem to waver between $299-$399 at the moment. Also worth a look.

XM5 and XM6 don't recommend. Easy to break and expensive to fix. I broke my XM5 falling asleep with them on. I very nearly killed my XM6 leaving them on the couch. Way too much care required imo. Sony always win on noise cancellation so there's no real choice for the best in class if that's the priority.

Apparently the downrange Sony ULT Wear and CH720N model has the same electronics and less microphones. Maybe an option for cheaper if that is confirmed. I've never tried those. Noel Leeming usually has a range of models available for test, as does Harvey Norman. It's an unrealistic test environment but anyway..
