I had a fairly lengthy write-up on the Sony XM3. Which got nuked by my browser/computer.
For sake of brevity I'll condense it as below:

* Feels a bit delicate and lithe in build
* Comfortable and secure for wearing and movement
* Generally good sound signature
* Top notch ANC capabilities
* App/software is a bit much and is subtraction-by-addition
* Touch and button interface is merely okay. Physical dials is better - see: new MS Surface headphones
* Microphone for voice calls is atrocious

I'm satisfied, but it's far from perfect. And at 380 EUR is a bit of a stretch, considering this market is only going to get more crowded.
