Any reason why to buy this version over the $180 Drop version? I've been meaning to add to my collection for a long time, but never made it to the top of the list or looked into the differences.
Just cosmetic differences to my knowledge. Comfort is really good, but I wasn't a fan of the sound. At all.

Aesthetics.

I've been skimming the Amazon Early deals today and found a couple headphone deals that are worth considering.

Bose NC700 - $270
https://www.amazon.com/Bose-Cancelling-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B07Q9MJKBV/
(Excellent ANC and mic quality)

Beats Fit Pro - $160
https://www.amazon.com/Beats-Fit-Pro-Cancelling-Built/dp/B09JL41N9C/
(Excellent fit/comfort and with many of Apple's H1 features)

Sony WH-1000XM5 - $349
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WH-1000XM5-Canceling-Headphones-Hands-Free/dp/B09XS7JWHH/
(Best ANC I've heard on a plane to date, comfortable, reasonably long battery life)

Sennheiser HD 660 S - $300
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-660-Audiophile-Headphone/dp/B076HP574T
(Also linked earlier in the thread, but a reminder since the sale ends today)

I've had my Bose NC700 for a long while now, but I'm tempted to pick up that Sony after trying it on the flight to CanJam SoCal. Not a huge savings on the XM5, but one of the first sales I've seen.
