$35 - 100GB Canada Wide
$45 - 200GB Can-Us-Mex

I also did quite a bit of research on other brands like Fizz, Public Mobile and Freedom, all roughly around the same price point. (spreadsheet here)

Fizz would be my choice if I was gonna go with someone outside of the majors. They allow for data rollover (up to 2 mo) and if you needed more, the forums (other members) can gift you extra data. You can also switch your plan whenever. For instance, if say Jan-May you're only gonna be in Canada, you can be on the Canadian plan then switch to Can-US for July, switch back after. Fizz uses the Freedom network when in Vancouver, Fizz-EXT uses Rogers/Verizon, but has access to all 3 majors. You can apparently just select which network you want. Downside with Fizz is that you have to use a VoLTE capable phone.

Public Mobile seems to be pretty reliable for the cheaper brands. Per track chat, it works mostly everywhere. VIMC, A27, Ridge, etc. Aka the middle of nowhere. No data rollover, but it's had more tenure in Vancouver than Fizz. Freedom I hear just sucks, but I threw that in there for the sake of comps.

For me, the extra $50/mo is made up in savings on my Telus Home Services that I'll be eligible to get once I move Mobility onto the account.

I have the XM4 and honestly no complaints. The low end Sony's are bad as they boost the bass to obscene levels, the higher level stuff are nice and neutral.

Look into Audio Technica as well, but they aren't as easy to get around here. I would suggest Shure, but they might be out of your range, and their BT offerings are... ehhh kinda of weird.

No, you did good. The XM4 look way better.... there is a reason the xm3 and 4 had the exact same exterior design...

But anyhow, the moment you have these type of headphones, air travel is just night and day~

Any here using Freedom Mobile here and can share what their network reception is like nowadays?

Public Mobile seems to be a lot more well received than Freedom Mobile. My friend uses Freedom and well.. he loses reception on the S2S. One time we left West Van and he went the wrong way... we couldn't reach him. Tbh anywhere we plan to meet up, if something goes awry, we pretty much expect not being able to call him LOL
